Over the years coaches get to shoulder much of the blame,but in reality it’s the players that screw up time after time after time with dumb plays or poor options...personally I think you could have the best coaches in the world coaching this mob..and I don’t think much would change...its just brains and attitude that left this franchise down..
Decision making and attitude has to sit with the coaching, but super level is too late. Is there a problem with school/junior level coaching in Auckland?

I dunno, check the Mitre 10 cup.

Teams with the best coaches aren't dumb. Coincidence?

Ain’t that the truth! We did more than enough to win that game, but just couldn’t finish any of the pressure

@KiwiMurph Gotta say as a Chiefs fan I know how you feel this season

So you'd suggest they're coached to make dumb decisions?
I don’t know, if so that last scrum was a perfectly executed set piece.

They can identify and recruit smarter players?

@Cyclops I don’t think coaching at school level has got anything to do with it..many kids that have schooled in Auckland have gone on to cut careers in other provinces or other franchises...
It’s about trusting in your systems ,taking a tackle and relying on the cleaners to their roles..,not off loading a pass when not required..calm heads and strong on field leadership provides that.. -
lack of concentration is a bit of an issue, given you can destroy one scrum then lose another like that.
Plenty of poor decisions out there, too many 50-50 balls being thrown, some came off but didnt really gain much, and others didnt come off and lost possession.

Yip. By rights you guys should have won that game. Amazing how little cohesion you had in attack.

One thing I was impressed by - Akira's defence. He has also developed his passing game this year. AB coaches would be pleased.
Yeah, that try saver on the line was huge. Would have liked to see him run from the back of at least one of those scrums.

Three games, three different centre pairings. Not helping.
