    'We have invested in him a lot' would sound like sour grapes to me, whereas, 'We want him to regret his decision every day' sounds a bit more playful, acknowledging he's off but making sure it's a struggle to leave at the end of the season. But yes just different interpretations.

      After watching the game on the weekend I'm still not convinced Jacomb is worth the hype. He's a noticeable drop off from DMac.

        An opportune time for Jacomb to step up against his soon-to-be team in Rd 2. The 50:22 was his highlight, but we didn't see him put players into space. And like Perofeta, goal-kicking can be erratic.

          Yeah, agree. Was not his finest game.

          Next week will be a big clash. Millar will be amping up too. Going against the man his franchise actively sought out to replace him. Because they decided he was not good enough. Plenty for him to prove against Jacomb.

          Just one last thing on the terms 'investment' v regret.

          Investment is tangible. It isn't just money it is time, personal development, rugby knowledge etc. It is all measurable. It is a statement of fact.

          While regret is of course, an emotion and feeling. Saying you want the player to feel regret is saying you want them to feel sad/disappointed when leaving. It is something that is not measurable.

          There is also an easy media article to follow up with Jacomb after the season or next year. Gibbes said in February he hoped you regretted leave. Did you regret leaving? Same with if he does media during the season? Has this season made tou regret your decision?

          Anyway, said my piece on the matter!

            Any talk of player or coach movement at chiefs ? Talk that Clayton will bring a forwards coach over for his 2nd year Graham Dewes name was mentioned

            Similarly Munster are in the market for a THP and back 3 player

              @SUAF94 George Dyer was rumoured but when I asked him after an NPC game last year he said he wasn't leaving

                Dewes is also part of the Fijian coaching staff, so I assume is contracted until the RWC.

                        @gt12 Stolen from the NZH article @mikedogz posted a week ago.

                        A good read and credit to Don Shergold for putting those imposters from the North Shore in their place.
