All will be revealed tomorrow, but if hypothetically Razor goes and JJ replaces him, given the Springbok Tour I can’t see him steering us through the season - though I would expect him to have some involvement through a handover period - but how will they replace him?
Dermody has previously failed, Kidwell isn’t a Union man, Bender has never head coached ever… Corey Brown?
you would think thats a likely outcome off the back of such a good season...just sad/annoying that Otago will end up with another change rather than building on last year
Think you have your wires crossed. Mark Brown is the Otago coach. Corey Brown is already the Highlanders attack coach.

Razor to serve out his contract leading the landers to SR victory.
Not without the messiah Dylan Pledger.

Considering he won multiple titles without even considering Higgins for his squad, he'll cope.

Definitely a risky move, despite it paying dividends.

I see a few people are claiming Rennie will be Highlanders coach
i dont hate it, hopefully more than just interim

Yeah there'd need to be some decent horse trading to allow us to release our coach this close to the startnof the season with two years to go on his contract.

That's very worrying, with a young group of players he may likely do a better job than Joseph.
I like to go on about Fuck Dave Rennie, but he's been pretty easily one of the absolute best NZ coaches of the last 15 years.
I'd be singing if I were a Landers supporter.

Worrying if you are a supporter of any other Super team.
I would have him as the Chiefs coach in a heartbeat.
