@sparky ordinarily I'd say you can't attribute that to the coaching, but there is certainly some issues with our discipline which does come back to coaching

If it’s the coaching things may not get better next year. The Saders get pinged a hell of a lot.

@Crazy-Horse but they didn't get alot of cards do they, and usually a bit more calculated?

I haven't see any stats but it seems to me they got carded a fair bit too. Or maybe it seemed that way to me because I support them.

@Crazy-Horse I know there is always lenty of chat in match threads about how.much they get away with or deserve cards....

Yeah but I think on here the Saders would be called evil
cheats for helping old ladies across the road. -
Penalties not too bad, YCs they ranked 8th this year. 1st (meaning fewest YCs) was the Chiefs

I think this is accurate: Foster 2020-2023
Wins: 28 (68.3%)
Losses: 11 (26.8%)
Draws: 2 (4.9%)So if we bomb out in the QF
Wins: 30 (68.2%)
Losses: 12 (27.3%)
Draws: 2 (4.5%) -
Lucky Australia didn't have a purple patch during that time otherwise.......

Here is a stat. Against SA, France, and Ireland since 2020, the ABs winning statistic is 33%. That is 8 losses, 4 wins.
-
I note that almost all those coaches with poorer results got the chop before 4 years. As should have Foster (because at that point his results were even worse).
Some of those guys only had one losing tour, and then were axed. The series loss to Ireland would have been the end of a coach in previous times.

Foz could be first AB coach to have win ratio below 70% ? Might have to fact check that one
Nah nowhere near (from 2022)
Fred Allen is missing and had a 100% record from 14 Tests. Never lost a game IIRC and had one draw.
There's some names there like Ivan Vodanovich & JJ Stewart I really don't want to ever see again.... And we think the last few years have been a bit shit.
