Machpants that's a succinct, truthful and respectful response from Robertson and along with his leadership skills and associated success is exactly the reason why NZR have got it wrong. NZR are so lucky he hasn't already done a runner.

Was thinking about this today. No wonder his teams play angry.

I would be disappointed in Razor if he said or acted any different. He knows he got a gig until 2024 and then will probably get AB job,

He's still a young man, he has plenty of time

Razor should start to think about who he might ask to join his AB coaching team, and keep in touch with them

@canefan I know Holland is on Razor's list. I heard somewhere that Razor wanted his Crusader assistants + Holland.

Isn't Holland the current coach? Or are there two of them?

Wasn't he assistant in 2015, thus
a better assistant than HC
Edit. Ignore I'm getting totally messed up, drinking since mid arvo zoom drinks, carry on, nothing to see here

Anyone have thoughts on Jason O'Hallorans progress in Japan (haven't seen any of his team playing)
He is someone I've had hopes of rising up to become part of the AB coaching team.

@taniwharugby Jason O’Halloran is one of the best Rugby analysts I have every heard on Radio in fact I will go one step better , the best I have heard .
Is not shy to critique a players strength and weakness and with so much detail .
When he was with Dave Rennie at the Turbos, had some of the best attacking moves off set pieces I had seen and that was with a middle of the road championship team .
One can only wonder what he would bring to a team with a much higher skill level . -
The team seems to be coming along nicely. Less helter skelter, more physicality, lots of players coming along nicely. Are we ready to throw Foster a few credit crumbs?

Absolutely. Credit where it's due - he's improved his selections dramatically, and the team seem to be performing.
That said, I am absolutely not convinced there was a basis to reappoint based on the body of work when they made the decision. This tour was going to shape up to be critical, and so far he looks good.

@nzzp I guess there is the argument of stability and now he is 'safe' he can start putting a bit more of his stamp on things...certainly a step in the right direction
Agree though, the process appeared farcical, and the stupidity to put in a 2 year term was also going to create this situation, exagerrated by Covid.

One swallow doesn’t make a summer etc. But yes looking good, but so did Hansen ‘16. I really wanted them to do the entire year before making a decision, that’s when I will start to believe. A very succesful 2021 will almost balance out one of ABs owrst years ever in 2020. If he goes through undefeated and in style, I will say he is in the positive.
