    His only major failures that I can recall were:

    (i) fronting a campaign to get rid of Ta$man (and Northland); and

    (ii) Having three provincial competitions to administer and not managing to have a good structure for any of them! (The Ranfurly Shield shouldn't be hard, Steve!).

    He's done a good job on funding and retention of elite players, but the cracks are starting to show as the NH cash seems to be ramping up (e.g. the reported money being paid to Handre Pollard).

      @Chris-B I agree that his failure to get rid of Northland and Ta$man is a black mark on his record!

        When you look around at countless examples of sports administrators stinking up an organisation you'd have to suggest he's been very good at managing the top job in NZ ( yes, more important than the Prime minister's job, obviously)

        Well played Mr Tew

            Ian Foster to replace Steve Tew - Anything to get him out of becoming the next All Blacks Head Coach.

                  Tew has been excellent. Got up Rattue’s nose which is a sure sign you’re doing something right.

                      Haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere but Tevita Li is off to the Suntory Sungoliath.

                      Last one out of Forsyth Barr Stadium please turn off the lights.

                          Steve Tew is no looker either but getting rid of the mo was a good start.

                              I predict that Li will also play for the Sunwolves next season.

                                      Looks like Melani Nanai is on the All Blacks radar. Or perhaps they're just being pricks to Worcester and Manu Samoa...

                                          It's way more likely that Nanai has contractual obligations to play Mitre 10 Cup then that he's on the ABs "stand-by list". There are several players who are well ahead of him in the outside backs queue.
