    There some comments from Robertson about overseas players. Sounds like he has been told to pull his head in. Lots of his usual management jargon but basically his fine with the current setup

    He's a bit dim so I expect him to push for overseas players agin in a few months.. get told off.. reiterate his support for the current system.. repeat..

      Cool. He can now concentrate on developing the talent available to him. Just hope he hasn't wasted a year.

            He deserves to be looked at for sure.

                  “There’s always a degree of contact but that’s good coaches and good people doing their jobs properly. That happens with players that are past their playing careers. That’s the nature of the All Blacks

                  so, talk to guys overseas not eligible. Don't talk to guys in NZ who are eligible. Good coaching. Gotcha

                      Robertson's the guy whose girlfriend dumped him and he can't get over it and annoys all his mates by moping and constantly going on about her and how much he misses her.

                      Meanwhile said mates secretly don't understand what he saw in her in the first place.

                              @SBW1 be realistic for goodness sakes. let's see Ruben Love start a test, have a look at the Chiefs midfield together, see if Caleb Tangitau can step up, is Taumoefolau from Moana aspiring to be an AB? Plenty of talent on these shores but next thing you will be asking for is to see Nicoll-Klokstad at the Crusaders

                                DMac has every right to be hard done by at Razor's man-love for Richie. (and to lesser extent BB)
                                Our best game this year was against Ireland. when DMac controlled the game well.
                                And then, for some god-forsaken reason, he selects Mr Shovel it on kick and hope Beauden Barret for the French game.

                                Mounga was given the luxury of 4-5 years at AB level 10 to develop his game.
                                And for most of that, he couldn't fuckin tackle.

Plenty of talent on these shores but next thing you will be asking for is to see Nicoll-Klokstad at the Crusaders

                                        He has, but he chose not to play for them last year.

                                          DMac has every right to be hard done by at Razor's man-love for Richie. (and to lesser extent BB)
                                          Our best game this year was against Ireland. when DMac controlled the game well.
                                          And then, for some god-forsaken reason, he selects Mr Shovel it on kick and hope Beauden Barret for the French game.

                                          Mounga was given the luxury of 4-5 years at AB level 10 to develop his game.
                                          And for most of that, he couldn't fuckin tackle.

                                          RM tackled quite well at the end. But completely agree with the rest. It blows me away how BB still gets the starting 10 jersey ahead of DMac (esp. after Ireland). I really want to know the statistics of opposition scores/turnover ball after "BB dinky kicks" in the 2023 Blues/2023-4 AB teams. Either my trumatized brain is playing tricks on me or BB dinkies have led to a hell of a lot of opposition scores or turnover ball in compromised positions.
