Just shitty timing. But what the fuck was he doing leaving for the Reds anyway? After winning SR with the Blues his job must have been secure?

Seems like he felt “job done” at the Blues and was likely to leave after this season anyway .

Thinkin the same, side ways move, at best.
If they wanted him NZR would have had him; just had to figure what the price of breaking his "word" would have been.
Saw Reds play in atrial on the weekend.
About 70 or 80 players got a run in the game!
Fun game, perfect conditions.
Must be a few Aussie coaches pissed off. -

Robertson applying for the Reds job was an interesting tidbit.

Adds credence to the idea that Razor performed badly during the review and that's what cost him his job, the move was clearly not premeditated because a bunch of coaches have been caught out

@Tim Must have been in the timeframe when Razor knew but everyone else didn’t. Would be a logical move - just get over and live on the Gold Coast. Napier also said he was paid out at least a year.
And maybe place him in the mix for future Wallabies coaching role/s?

That seems like such a short window though? Allegedly the meeting was on the Monday and it was announced on the Thursday I thought?

could be as simple as better pay and get to live in queensland...and maybe leave on a resent high

Gregor Paul...pay walled

Now that New Zealand Rugby has clarified the criteria and process for recruiting a new All Blacks head coach, and two promising candidates have already ruled themselves out, the question is not whether a choice has to be made between Jamie Joseph and Dave Rennie, but whether both

Interesting suggestion of Stephen Larkham as an assistant coach for the ABs in here.

He's done a pretty good job at the Brumbies IMO.

A team packed with superstars whose only sure thing is the canes in Canberra. I'm far from convinced. Something about him screams no for me.... and I'm sure NZR will take that into account.

I'd say there's almost zero chance Larkham will ever be an assistant coach here.

@Bones they dont seem too fussed on your views on Jordan.
Ever seen NZR sack a coach halfway through his contract?

He hasn't been mentioned much but I think it's a great shout.
Reckon that's just Watson picking a name at random to sound like he's "thinking".
