          If the extract about his nearly sacking from Fozzies book is right then it does not paint Mark in a good light

          I'm finding it difficult to think of anything that does. His idea to invite an Aussie team or two into a NZ competition, the Foster-Razor debacle, private equity..?

            How Fozzie painted Robinson is exactly how Robinson comes across. Wishy-washy.

              @sparky Robinson and NZ rugby played a part in Devlin going solo. They would not engage with the Devlin anymore so he came to an agree with the station and left.

                So is that a good thing or a bad thing?

                    @tomk Odd thing for a CEO and an organisation to do. Be more think-skinned and take the criticism with humility.

                        I'm hoping it's the year to win ... but likely it's the year to pile on more hate.

                          I don't know who was more nervous speaking at the AB announcement - Kirk or Robertson.

                              Might be good to have someone from outside of Rugby but versed in professional sport.

                              Don't follow cricket much, but from what little I've seen, NZ seems to have it's act together and pretty well run.

                                      Saw the headline and wondered if he's earmarked for the NZR role.

                                      But the text in the statement about "new leadership" suggests new board may have pushed him.

                                      Anyone got any goss?

                                          It needs to be someone from outside the NZR system. The big question is whether Marks would be prepared to take a huge pay-cut and move the family back to NZ.
