@george33 Not exactly. There is a heap of rumours, I think it is fairly simple:
Some players don’t like Razor
Everyone thinks Hansen is a fluffybunnyThat’s the outcome of the review - and I don’t think we needed a review to work that one out.
What is unclear is how this will be resolved, which will be revealed by the end of this week.

As I said earlier, it seems like its gone beyond the point of nothing happening and carrying on as per status quo going into this season.
We can't surely expect nothing to happen after all this?

@george33 it's all very interesting like Is Jamie Joseph in meetings of some sorts this week? I see several landers players haven't been at logan park the last few days, Angus Ta'avo on his instagram is Queenstown, Stanley Solomon in Wellington.
I think this is one of the more intriguing things. Would seem odd to take time off in the middle of pre-season!
Particularly as all the other teams are training. I had heard Joseph was taking a more relaxed approach this year, but this seems extreme.

Sam Casey just said on Sports Nation that Savea had already signed with R360. But when that was postponed to 2028 he now wants to stay in Japan or play in Europe. I’m sorry but Savea has to go if the coaches are sacked. If coaches position are untenable then so is Savea’s position.

They've been given the back half of the week off but have all been given training programmes to knock off. So still training I guess but remotely. Changing things up which the players are enjoying apparently.

Sad thing is the joke possibility that we could end up with Robertson and Hansen sacked and Jason Ryan kept on with Ardie Savea and Beauden Barrett appointed as his interim assistant coaches is actually a possibility.
Can you image that ABs are done if that happened player power destroys environments.
No one can be dropped or selected unless the senior players say and they can never be dropped.
I have seen that before and it destroyed teams for a decade.
It is hard to change that when it happens. -

Yes has overtones of what Carl Hayman and Anton Oliver did to Laurie Mains and ultimately the whole Highlanders franchise.
i might have been too young to be over that DM me so as not to derail the thread?
-
@Kiwiwomble @tubbyj mind DMing me that too? I'd be too young for that as well.
-
Why are people banging on about Savea vs whomever? NZR should always back the coach in this instance, especially against a player that's won sweet fuck all.
