Sad thing is the joke possibility that we could end up with Robertson and Hansen sacked and Jason Ryan kept on with Ardie Savea and Beauden Barrett appointed as his interim assistant coaches is actually a possibility.
Can you image that ABs are done if that happened player power destroys environments.
No one can be dropped or selected unless the senior players say and they can never be dropped.
I have seen that before and it destroyed teams for a decade.
It is hard to change that when it happens. -

Yes has overtones of what Carl Hayman and Anton Oliver did to Laurie Mains and ultimately the whole Highlanders franchise.
i might have been too young to be over that DM me so as not to derail the thread?
-
@Kiwiwomble @tubbyj mind DMing me that too? I'd be too young for that as well.
-
Why are people banging on about Savea vs whomever? NZR should always back the coach in this instance, especially against a player that's won sweet fuck all.

Just heard a soundbite on the radio about the review, so where there's smoke, there be fire.

It’s a shame things have come to this.
I’m sure both sides have differing stories but at the end of the day the locker room has been lost and that falls on management and coaches.
Tomorrow will be interesting. If I hear anything before hand, I will throw it in here.

We are a laughing stock. But maybe we need to hit rock bottom before things get better. I think Razor's odds of staying are lengthening with articles like this
Or Savea
No one comes out looking good

Sad thing is you are right
There is no doubt if Razor stays Savea can not
Unless Hansons head is the compromise but then Savea runs the ABs either way . -

i get that in general....but....lots of the same players weren't firing under fozzie....so ideally everybloodyone goes and we start from scracth based on merit....but if if i have to keep the old guard of players OR Razor....i think i would give Razor a run without these guys working against him

100 percent agree start from scratch seems the best way but I understand it will not end up that way.

yeah, not going to happen but fun to rant about it
IF it did happen, a full clear out....lots of guys would probably still get in...but make the prove it in super first

Unless Hansons head is the compromise but then Savea runs the ABs either way .I'm okay with Ardie leaving and the coaches all getting fired. BB to assume a largely non-playing ambassadorial role for sponsors
