    Have you got the "Students" starting lineup? They have quite a number of players with Super Contracts but not many of them appear in the Super match day 23s.

            The Highlanders have Brown and Dermody locked in beyond 2020, with Mauger and Mark Hammett coming off contract this year.
            

            Surely at least one of Mauger & Hammett won't get a new contract?

            How much of an interruption is Brown's Japan job? Maybe he could be head coach in SR and still assist Japan?

              @Duluth Clayton Macmillan is coaching the Chiefs next year. Are Ieremia and Tiatia off contract? How about the Ta$man coaches? Kieran Keane? Any name NZ coaches coming off contract overseas?

                Hammet’s CV must make horror reading. I am genuinely surprised that he continues to be employed in a coaching capacity.
                Mind you, John Mitchell’s CV is pretty awful as well but he landed a well paid gig.

                  There's still people, cough @Chris-B, that think the Hammettuer did a good job at the Hurricanes. People be crazy.

                      So you and his chosen captain, a captain I might add that didn't win Super rugby and only went close to winning when a new coach was brought in.

                        @Nepia As it turned out Conrad was pretty much right. He said Hammer had set great foundations in place - and the next year they should have won the title, and the following year they did.

                        And Hammer keeps getting jobs! 🙂

                        What is especially interesting with your timing of today's sally is that I've just come home from Nelson and standing on a street corner with a travel bag slung over his shoulder was either John Mitchell or his doppelganger. I'm thinking Mitch should still be in England - but, otherwise, what's he doing in Nelson??!! :astonished_face:

                            Though not as much credit as Leon, who didn't get to collect a title either - despite his great works in building the foundations! 🙂

                                @KiwiMurph The guy I saw was the spitting image of Mitch and easily big enough to be him.

                                The only question marks I had were that I thought he'd be in England and, if it was Mitch - he's very well preserved. He didn't look too much different to 2003 Mitch. I guess cue balls don't really age.... 🙂
