Things do seem to have built nicely at super level in the last couple of years (despite interrupted comp)
Built nicely by what measure? By playing themselves who all play nearly the same style?
That’s why I said ‘seemed to have built’.
The Super comp has been successful in building a false sense of well being
That was the benefit of playing the Saffa sides, the Aussie sides and the mix of others, it exposes NZ players and coaches to different styles and game plans.
It has held us in pretty good stead for quite a few years, but two years of basically playing local derbies and then playing the Aussies a thousand times, it has taken in my view taken a toll on our development
So without those different styles, where do the ABs get the experience from to be able to develop the players? Are the Junior ABs making a comeback?
Or will there be more onus on the SR coaches to develop their own playing styles so that the players can be challenged by the latest trends domestically?

Who gets sacked first, Solskjær or Foster?
FYI Solskjær has just been given the sack. Praying they will pull the lever on the Muppet too.
And Man U have had 6 coaches in the last 7 years , including a messiah in Mourinho.
If sacking coaches was the easy answer to everything, Man U would have won everything in sight since 2014.

@victor-meldrew
Not sacking underperforming coaches certainly isn't the answer either. -

@victor-meldrew
Not a quick fix but a necessary one. Ole & Foz = jobs for the boys, no track record to back it up, wheels fell off, sacked and should be sacked. -

@victor-meldrew Razor has cleaned up in the SR over a long period of time.
Obviously clear game plans, good man management and eye for detail.
You heard the oft repeated phrase 'Razor hasnt got international coaching experience'. This is rubbish.
Well now we've got mediocre results, losing to teams like never before, and the management have untold international experience. -

How many years of coach blamings and sackings do you think we need before we start asking if there's underlying problems to be addressed?

How is this situation like Man U? Foster has been in the AB set up for a decade.

Like the Taco advert, it doesn't have to be an either/or.
And the former seems more immediate and more possible. -
I say it again, Foster and Ole are both caretakers at best. Zero credentials to prove they can do it at the top level, direct connection to past success but in a very different capacity, and opposition teams are/were praying they stay in for as long as possible.

If Razor's win % isn't better than Foster's after 2 years, do we think we should sack him as well?

You make good points, but one thing I will say is that, because of the top-down nature of NZ rugby, the AB coach can often have a big say in the development at the lower levels of the game. Is it any coincidence that post-2004, we had a pipeline of good quality front rowers after GH had identified that as a work on? Or how after 2009, we had a generation of wingers and full backs who were all excellent under the high ball? It's because of the weaknesses in those areas identified by GH at the top level that coaches at all levels below that sought to develop the next generation that was strong in those areas.

Caretakers look after things!

This sounds like the argument for not demoting Tana and replacing him with Leon.....
-
@victor-meldrew He hasnt been given a chance. I think its rational to give it to someone who's been successful in NZ SR over a long period of time.
Turning it around, on what basis should the current HC have been given the reins. He knows the players well? -

Best team in the world, won everythng in sight, then slid to medicocraty. Sound familiar?
Foster has been in the AB set up for a decade.
Neither were the Man U managers, so I really don't get your point.

Well it might be an idea to have KPI with a high-paying leadership position of national importance so I'd say yes, if he loses as often as Foster and doesn't develop the team he should go too.

Mourhini a caretaker with Zero credentials to prove he could do it at the top level? C'mon

How is sacking coach after coach year after year (Man U) the same thing as wanting to sack a coach who has been in the AB setup since 2012?
