Bad news for Perofeta then!
also D Havili to start in SA confirmed
this is where I would like some other type of options for replying..no one should upvote this
lol you have the white background
what a basic bitch
Can you show me how to do the neon pink background that you have?
I’m glad that there is some honesty in the reporting rather than the “spend time with family” line when there are shock changes.

agreed on the refreshing honesty

Yeah, plenty of time since then, just a funny coincidence.
Looked it up and he was at the crusaders in 2017 and blues head coach in 2019, but can't remember whether he was a blues assistant in 2018.

My thoughts as well, let’s not fuck around with this , see ya mate,
I heard on the radio , tamati Ellison might be the fill in , is that confirmed?

Leon was both head coach of Ta$man and assistant coach at Crusaders for one year. He quit the ass coach job, I think because the dual roles were putting pressure on family life. He was just head coach of Ta$man in 2018.
He was initially hired as an ass coach for the Blues, but got promoted to head coach before the 2019 season started.

Welp with the inneffectiveness of our attack, I assume he had checked out weeks ago!

They should have sorted their difference with arm wrestling.
firstly, Leon is jacked. Tren for life.
secondly that singlet looks stupid as shit. It looks like some fucking bogan has ripped the sleeves off his collared shirt.

You'd hope so - I'm a big fan of his philosophy on the game. Unfortunately he's with the enemy now.
Not being nasty about Leon's departure either, but if we're honest our attack hasn't looked good so far this year and I didn't hold much hope based on his tenure at the Blues.
As noted, it's good that they've decided early. Hopefully this isn't a retrograde step...

@antipodean and until a few minutes ago leon was with the AB's....tings seem to be able to change quickly
without knowing exactly how its gone down, pushed? walked? genuinely mutual? respect to everyone for this happening pretty quickly

@mariner4life probably not but its also very out of character for NZR to be this decisive
