Nice to see Goldie unconvinced. And questions from the audience fueling the fire

The team is making the same mistakes
What will the end of year review look like, who decides if the coaches stay or go? NZR is in disarray at the moment, Kirk is there but there is no CEO
Our defence is shit; season stats, of all our tackles this season, 5% were dominant contact (5!), 35% were ineffective contact, 60% neutral contact (FUCK ME)

Just watching The Breakdown. Wow someone got these guys big time. Mils especialky was toned down compared to last week. Goldie was trying to keep it real. Beaver is ever the optimist

Must have received written warnings?

Goldie didn't hold back much (see above). But the outrage level wasn't as high as last week

Reflecting on Holland, he's had an outstanding season. The kid is no frills, rolls his sleeves up and gets stuck in. We need more players like that, especially in the back row

Every segment ever of Smash Em Bro to be compulsory watching for every All Black over the summer.

A few sessions with James Fisher Harris might be in order

@canefan Bringing back Dalton Papalii would help with those dominant tackle stats next year.

Mils tried very hard not to say Mark Robinson's tenure was shit. Goldie being very diplomatic, they all agree commercialism has been at the expense of on field performance.

Might need some serious fence mending if the rumours are to be believed

@canefan An All Blacks coach needs to be a big enough person to pick up the phone and work it out with his best players.

I have some other somewhat harsh thoughts to post on Razor's season subsequently, so those who want to rush to label me an apologist can go fuck themselves.

Subsequent to what? Some of us are still awaiting this dollop of measured vitriol!

I feel like he's got more to give too. I hope Jamie Joseph can turn him into a real bruiser because he certainly has the frame for it.

I suspect Joseph is looking forward to it!

Oh yeah. Barring injury, his ceiling is high. I have a feeling Beehre is another bruiser, we need more players with attributes like Holland

Ardie doesn't make the Breakdown world XV. Beaver says he picked him, Mils says he tried to pick him but ultimately didn't, Goldie says fuck that PSDT is the best 7, doesn't take a minute off, impactful, plays exactly the way a 7 should. Good on ya mate

PSDT is a blindside Goldie

He'll play anywhere you need him to play. And dominate

Yeah it's ass-about.
Ensure a quality on field performance, and that'll look after the commercial side.

Saffas usually have what we call a 7 in the No. 6. But, yeah, he's a 6/7.
