    @act-crusader said in Has Hansen gone stale?:

    @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?

          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 .....

                        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.

                            @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

                            How many log ins do you have Nepia?

                            Panadol wasn't even fit to lace Cullen's boots

                            Fake news. Cullen didn’t have a right or left boot....

                                    Does it show the demographic of the Fern that there is an awful of angst towards 99/03/07, with the dominant Cantabs the easy scapegoats, and yet the 90-94 period, and the Auckland guys get away scot free these days? I feel like if this forum was around in 96 there would be a few other names getting cursed.

                                    Too long ago? Too faded from memory?

                                      @nepia Your squeals of outrage as Cully was dropped would have been at frequencies beyond detection by the human ear! πŸ™‚

                                      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.

                                      His pace was gone and he needed to go. πŸ™‚

                                      Actually, Atiga over Cully was a sensible selection. By the time he was picked as a replacement, Cully's book was hitting the bookshelves and any remaining bridges to Mitch were completely torched.

                                        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.

                                        3/4 with four finals. No shame in losing to Wayne Smith.

                                        Where did Thorn say that? High praise indeed if true. I find it unlikely given Paul Vaultin coaches him in the 1996 origin.
