      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:

                      @Bovidae We do indeed!

                      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.... 🙂

                                        1 News has just mentioned that Ben Smith is likely to sign for the Highlanders aswell.

                                        Jesus, the Chiefs better start signing up players quick smart before they're all taken.
