      Yep, we can get rid of some Counties stinkers and Nonu will have to earn his spot now.

            We are still stuck with Tana's shitty squad selections for next year at least, but at least with Coventry and McDonald the team will be organised and we can get the best out of them.

            Then it's a case of repairing his damage. Did they sack that "talent scout" as well?

              What a Traitor!

              One of the guys I respected the most. Grizz, Robbie, Don Hayes etc must be hanging their heads in shame.

              He couldn't beat razor with Ta$man, good luck with these losers.

                        Yup, the man who has said he could never coach against Canterbury and the Crusaders.

                        Loyalty right there.

                            Wow! Finally reason (not mark) prevails. It is good of Tana but what choice did he have other than throwing toys etc. I think he'll be much better for a few years with Leon.

                            Man, you guys are still fucked at halfback. Dont you go ruining Otere Black!!

                              As a Blues supporter it has been a tough ride but:
                              Crusaders were the worst NZ losers when the whole franchise thing started
                              Highlanders were a joke as were the Chiefs for a long time
                              Canes title took a long time to come. Apparently it took a Cantab to fix that (after he left)

                              So it was the Blues turn to be shit - for far too long - and this is our year (and the Warriors). So there.

                                  Has there been any announcements about the Dev/u20's coaches? Last year Coventry was the Dev coach

                                  Tiatia, Lavea and Witcombe should be the top of the list (Ieremia is taking the Auckland side on tour during Feb)

                                  Last year Steven Bates was the under 20's forwards coach. That should stop. It's a ridiculous decision to hire a guy whose day job is being a Chiefs cheerleader

                                    Wasn't a massive fan of MacDonald taking over from Tana the last time but I'll give this a chance...

                                    But full credit for the Blues making a move. Tana has been an improvement on SJK and Lam but still ultimately was seemed outmatched and outclassed by other NZ franchise coaches. Still ultimately I would like to see a non-ex-AB coach though after now four on the trot.

                                        One of the guys I respected the most. Grizz, Robbie, Don Hayes etc must be hanging their heads in shame.

                                        He couldn't beat razor with Ta$man, good luck with these losers.

                                        It makes the 1st round Blues-Crusaders game that much more interesting now.

                                        The Blues to break their losing streak against NZ teams. :fishing_pole:

                                          On the bright side it's going to be WAYYYY the fuck easier slagging off a Cantab once it all turns to shit than it has been slagging AB legend Tana...

                                          He's from Blenheim I think, but near enough (cue Chris B Ta$man rant) and keep the faith Bro.It's our year.
