@Nepia said in Foster, Robertson etc:
I've never been a fan after hearing stories about him from people in and out of their teenage years (but not his), then you add that to Tasesa Lavea over Carlos at the Blues and I'm very much team Razor too (despite the twin impediments of him being both a Cantab/Crusader and from BoP).
You could also join in on the side of Mount College (Robertson) v Tauranga Boys (Schmidt) if that makes it more palatable. We'll reverse the '89 Council amalgamations yet

Oh speaking of schools Schmidt used to coach Napier Boys too which is another huge negative against him.

Fuck Schmidt.
Fuck him very much.
I met him in my teenage years and as a result care for him very little.
Am therefore way on Team Razor.

I'm both impressed that you managed to resurrect the spectre of Tasesa Lavea's Blues playing career and concerned that Bay of Canterbury could become a weird hybrid alterverse.

PS Should the thread now be shelved and a new future AB coach thread rise from the ashes? Given there is no longer a Foster vs Robertson situation that is...

TBF I probably bring up the Lavea over Carlos at least 3 or 4 times a year just to keep it fresh (and it should be noted I have nothing against Tasesa).
The Bay of Canterbury alterverse just sent a shiver down my spine.

@Nepia Best you jump into the Jamie Joseph camp, then - a good Ta$man man.
Leon can stay at the Blues, Dermody at the Highlanders, Andrew Goodman can come back to replace Razor. We just need another ex-Mako coach to take over the Canes, hmmm who can I think of....

I'll cut you for that photo bitch, if I ever have this misfortune to be forced to visit the Ta$man region.
But, TBH I don't care what the Canes do, if that crap franchise wants to rehire him for more years of mediocrity it doesn't worry me, just means more Magpies playing for franchises actually like.I've heard something about Joseph that firmly puts him in the Schmidt camp for me.

i really feel Hammett has unfinished business at the Crusaders, he has such a history with them surely Head Coach is the logical next step.....

He was always such an abrasive character when playing. Is he the same as a coach??

Foster, Robertson etc
Nah

@canefan said in Foster, Robertson etc:
There are no guarantees with any candidate. That said, I'm still in the Razor camp. It would seem he is a very down to earth man manager and communicator. Anyone feel free to correct this assumption with ITK
Razor's got to be the front runner. Although I wouldn't be shocked if JJ got it as well. What I do want is teh best coaches coaching there- not stitching up assistants into teams. That shit is farked.

Not sure what you mean, the NZR might choose a coach then tell them their assistants? Has such a thing happened in recent memory?
As I can't see them trying to bring together any 2 of the 3 frontrunners and I assume applicants had to present as already formed coaching teams...then again, not sure if any significant part of the process is public knowledge.... -
@nostrildamus said in Foster, Robertson etc:
Not sure what you mean,
Candidates assembling teams of assistants to interview with.
just get the people in, select one, and then identify the best assistants for them.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s so inane thinking you need to bring a team with you. I know sport doesn’t equal business, but the analogy of a CEO interviewing with a replacement CFO, COO and his favourite HR rep is laughable.
Any decent coach should be able to assemble a decent team of assistants once appointed

And allowed to.

Yes I see your point, arguably the pre-selection of assistant coaches affected the 2019 process more than it should have.

@Bones I can understand them wanting a team, but maybe they appoint the coach, then in conjunction with the coach, work on his team from a group of candidates.
Although if we do it this way we might end up with McLeod as our defence coach...
