    Agreed, and I would have loved to have seen you twisting yourself in knots trying to defend the selections of the Hobbit and then that dude playing in the midfield for Auckland in the NPC over him.

      I only come on the Fern because Hansen stopped reading my emails.

      I wish Mitchell and Deans had stopped reading your emails back in 02. πŸ˜‰

      2002 was all part of the grand plan to win back the Bledisloe in 2003. As Henry did, Hansen is still riding their coat tails.

      I like it, they completely foxed it, playing boring stodgy rugby based on the Cantablacks and then a year later unleashing the Blues gameplan (that they had secretly told Graham Henry to start practising) on Oz.

      We all know that in the ABs it was Mauger and Umaga that made Carlos, Rok, Howlett and Mils look flash. I blame Deans for those 50 point wins.

          indeed. when we got a new team and a new plan. 2002 was deleted like a bad selfie. We just didn't go far enough in the end, more cantabores needed to be rissoled.

            Was Wayne Smith in charge in 2002? Or did Bitchell take over then? All I can recall is him trying to lecture Cullen on the mechanics of holding and passing the ball, and trying to justify his non-selection in the 2003 cup side by saying he was not even the 4th or 5th best 15 in NZ that year. What a fucking carnt. I still haven't forgiven him for that

                The worst thing he did was sending Jerry Collins out to face the media after that Oz loss. Jesus the system was broken back then - how on earth did that charlatan get the AB coach role?

                  Look, no one looks back on the Mitch era fondly, but, he did get the Bledisloe back. Higher credentialed coaches didn't do that.

                  And posting 50 points away back to back in the Tri-Nations when it was actually good? The mid-part of 2003 was pretty sweet.

                  He also brought in a few guys who went on to be pretty decent All Blacks.

                      Biggest indictment of Deans was McGod choosing Henry over his Super rugby coach at the time

                        In all seriousness, the big fear at the time was that NZ forward play was regressing badly and Mitchell was seen as someone with solid forward-coaching credentials, off the back of his work with England. I reckon that was a big driver and all of the other irritating details, such as a lack of head coaching experience, seemed to get swept to one side. And so began the Magical Mystery Tour .....

                          In all seriousness, the big fear at the time was that NZ forward play was regressing badly and Mitchell was seen as someone with solid forward-coaching credentials, off the back of his work with England. I reckon that was a big driver and all of the other irritating details, such as a lack of head coaching experience, seemed to get swept to one side. And so began the Magical Mystery Tour .....

                          @mariner4life all put in perspective when winning 3Ns and Bledisloe in 2003. When it actually meant something.

                          😎

                          indeed. when we got a new team and a new plan. 2002 was deleted like a bad selfie. We just didn't go far enough in the end, more cantabores needed to be rissoled.

                          Was Wayne Smith in charge in 2002? Or did Bitchell take over then? All I can recall is him trying to lecture Cullen on the mechanics of holding and passing the ball, and trying to justify his non-selection in the 2003 cup side by saying he was not even the 4th or 5th best 15 in NZ that year. What a fucking carnt. I still haven't forgiven him for that

                          The worst thing he did was sending Jerry Collins out to face the media after that Oz loss. Jesus the system was broken back then - how on earth did that charlatan get the AB coach role?

                          Oddly enough his time in charge saw us get bossed by an Oz forward pack.

                                Look, no one looks back on the Mitch era fondly, but, he did get the Bledisloe back. Higher credentialed coaches didn't do that.

                                And posting 50 points away back to back in the Tri-Nations when it was actually good? The mid-part of 2003 was pretty sweet.

                                He also brought in a few guys who went on to be pretty decent All Blacks.

                                Biggest indictment of Deans was McGod choosing Henry over his Super rugby coach at the time

                                Brad Thorn and Dan Carter both said he was the best coach they played under.

                                      Look, no one looks back on the Mitch era fondly, but, he did get the Bledisloe back. Higher credentialed coaches didn't do that.

                                      And posting 50 points away back to back in the Tri-Nations when it was actually good? The mid-part of 2003 was pretty sweet.

                                      He also brought in a few guys who went on to be pretty decent All Blacks.

                                      Biggest indictment of Deans was McGod choosing Henry over his Super rugby coach at the time

                                      Get over it.

                                      How many Super titles did he win?

                                      Brad Thorn and Dan Carter both said he was the best coach they played under.

                                      I was wondering when the red and blacks would show up. Where the hell is Canerbry these days? πŸ™‚

                                        They are all too busy on their own thread giving each other reach-arounds because Ben Darwin's computer says they are the absolute besterest ever and gave them an award.

                                          @mariner4life all put in perspective when winning 3Ns and Bledisloe in 2003. When it actually meant something.

                                          😎

                                          indeed. when we got a new team and a new plan. 2002 was deleted like a bad selfie. We just didn't go far enough in the end, more cantabores needed to be rissoled.

                                          Was Wayne Smith in charge in 2002? Or did Bitchell take over then? All I can recall is him trying to lecture Cullen on the mechanics of holding and passing the ball, and trying to justify his non-selection in the 2003 cup side by saying he was not even the 4th or 5th best 15 in NZ that year. What a fucking carnt. I still haven't forgiven him for that

                                          @canefan Mitchell came in at the end of 2001.
