    @kiwi_expat

    I don’t really know why the tahs players wanted to leave.

    Just from his time at Canterbury and under Deans at the Crusaders he was well liked by the players.

    Robbie Deans and Dave Rennie both got moved on from Australian coaching roles maybe Kiwi coaches do not fit in that
    enviroment,

    I am at a wait and see as far as Penney will go,
    He has had success as Canterbury NPC coach 4 titles in 4 years and picked Razor as his assistant.
    Won a SR with the Crusaders as assistant to Robbie Deans,
    Some good history there.
    Razor rates him.

    Wasn't Brad Thorn also an agreed leave? Any successful NZ coaches over the ditch?

    He may be a fine coach & clearly he should've gotten the job back in 2009... however for 2024 going forward I think this is a very uninspiring choice - as he is approaching 60 now & has mostly been coaching in Japanese Div 2 for the last 10 years, so not very relevant experience, neither is he a guy for future who can take a progressive step forward for them.

    I suspect this may be a short-term 'caretaker' appointment until Goodman becomes available.

    That is exactly what it is a care taker role,
    Until Goodman becomes available they rate Tamati Ellison very highly, they may promote him.

    Two years, yeah

    Penney has accepted a two-year contract and will soon return to Christchurch to replace good friend Scott Robertson, the latter having been appointed All Blacks coach for four years from 2024.

    @Chris My words exactly, in regards to him being a short term coach. Any idea which players we may sign for next year? Given we have had so many inuries this year, we have a really good core for next season.
