Chiefs 2019

[Stargazer]

Does anyone know whether Mitch Karpik is still injured and whether he's out for a long time, or not?

I'm working on a blog post and need this info.

[Snollygoster]

He was listed as a reserve to play club rugby for Rangatau In Tauranga last weekend.

[Stargazer]

@Snollygoster Thanks! So, he's back from injury then. I'll look out for this weekend's line-ups to be sure.

freeing him up for the top job...

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby Or not. I just can't see him as an ABs head coach. Assistant?

[mrfc]

Apparantly Foster wants him as an assistant if Foster is given the ab's job

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer Tews job

[Nepia]

Uh oh, who’s going to replace him?

Anyone? I'm available. What about you @nepia? we could dual coach them and do a better job

[Stargazer]

@Nepia If he left two years later, I'd say Gatland, but now? Is there a Mitre 10 Cup coach ready for the step up?

[Toddy]

Was Cooper really that bad? The initial woes for the Chiefs were DMac at first five. The team just couldn't gel with him there. It was mostly on the up after that.

Sure they didn't over achieve but they finished about where they should for the squad and injuries they had.

The Waikato-Magpies Chiefs has a nice ring to it!

No. No. No.

Confirmed

This is interesting:

Cooper said he would now take a break to consider his future.

“The role of the head coach has evolved so much over the past five or six years. My passion is ‘hands-on’ on-the-field coaching, but with bigger playing numbers and more staff involved these days, I am getting taken further and further away from my passion. So, I will take some time out with my family and discuss our future.”

[Chris]

@Stargazer Sounds like he's was being pushed into the coaching background within the chiefs .Who is the next coach will be interesting. from within or is this the start of a coaching cleanup.

Oh goody. Foster and Cooper. If we can nab Todd Blackadder back, we'll have a true axis of fucking average.
