Foster's Firsts.

First coach to get @Bartman to start a thread on crap coaches this decade.
(Fully expecting @Baron-Silas-Greenback to put in an appearance)

You know that he needs to go when Bartman makes an appearance.

First time I've doubted an AB coach.
I've always assumed there was some plan I was just too dumb to understand.
I even believed the "dry powder" throughout the 2019 World Cup, and walked out of Yokohama thinking.. "fuck - it just didn't quite work".
And throughout the last couple of years, again, just going... "fuck.. that went wrong" after each loss.
I'm finally ready to jump on the "panic and put Foster against the wall, shoot the fluffybunny" bandwagon.
But then... I've gone off half-cocked before.... -
-
First time I didn't give a shit about an AB loss.
I suppose that's because there have been so many of them.....
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel Yeah, gone numb.
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel
Agreed. The nervousness that used to be there is gone, because I have zero faith we can pull it out of the bag.The effects of the Foster era will be felt long term as fans and neutrals stop tuning in.
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel I don’t feel any worst than I did when we lost in the 2003 semi or the 2007 QF or the 2009 losses to the Boks, or those Bledisloe heartbreaks against the John Eales teams in the late 90s and early 00s or the 94 French debacle. Because for me as a fan the outcome is the same - a loss.
Sure there are things that I see as problems, but I’m just a fan and I’ll keep supporting the team no matter who’s involved - there’s pain no doubt 😀
Given @BartMan has come out of Fern retirement - maybe he needs to get the “Keep the Faith” T-shirts back up and going again. I got mine years ago and now one of the ACTC Jnr’s wears it 😉
-
@ACT-Crusader the ole Keep the Faith. Yeah that's about the size of it.
What was the quote?
-
-
@ACT-Crusader Of course, I'll keep the faith, and will support the ABs no matter what. Have the old Silverfern T-shirt as well. I ordered it even though I was too timid to post much at that time. I will also push the replace Foster bandwagon online although I wish nothing but the best for the man himself.

That's the point. It isn't personal. I'm sure Fozzie is a top bloke to have a beer with. But as the head of a high performance team, all evidence points to him not being good enough.
Thanks for trying Ian. At least you now know you weren't good enough 😁

First time I 've genuinely thought I could do a better job of coaching the ABs than the Fat Useless Clown in the coaching box.

I have faith in New Zealand rugby but no faith whatsoever in Foster. You have to be a fool to really.

Another Foster first:
He's finally killed the myth the All Blacks peak between World Cups.
-
I think he has killed the idea of ABs playing at their peak
-
And, for the first time ever, Aura is actually dead.
