Skills and Lead Backs Coach.
What's MacDonald's role then, attack coach? Or perhaps the real head coach?
Yeah I think MacDonald was called attack coach at that press conference. So something like this?
Umaga - defence
Coventry - fowards
MacDonald - attack
Halangahu - backs
Afeaki - scrumWhat's interesting is that Coventry has all his NH assistants joining him. That puts him in a powerful position when Umaga finally
gets sackedopts for an exciting new challenge in world series rugby -
@duluth UMaga will probably take over from Redman!
@taniwharugby it would be the perfect time for him to join Mitchell and Jones wouldn't it?
As a slight aside, I just realised "Mitchell & Jones" sounds like a great 80's comedy duo.

Looking like a great 2019 comedy duo too.

@mariner4life Eddie and John visit NZ could be a kids programme.

He was. He's not next season.

None of Dave Ellis, Steve Jackson or Alistair Rogers re-applied for their jobs. -
@canes Jed Brown and Billy Harmon are off contract at the Crusaders. Sione Havili is an option too.
-
Players like, Murphy Taramai, Gerard Cowley-Tuioti, Alex Hodgman, Dalton Papali'i, Orbyn Leger and Tumua Manu are lowkey players with a huge amount of potential, just need to continue developoing them
@canes Agree on all those except the first. Taramai is just too small at Super Rugby level. He falls off tackles constantly, and can't out pressure on at the ruck. Handy NPC player though.
Scrafton's recovery from injury will be a key. Would be great to see Goodhue's form demand selection.

@tim Agreed, Scrafton and Goodhue could become vital cogs in the pack (both play similar to a lite version of Retallick orWhitelock). Could even snag Sevu Reece
