Robinsons team no better than fosters.
im hoping the changes will be made to coaching group after this review.Ryan is clearly a better forwards coach than Plumtree - who has only had real success as a defense coach.
Consider that Leon McDonald and Scott McLeod were also part of Robertson's group.
Jason Holland is a highly regarded attack coach amongst his peers (see this article) while Mooar has a bad rep among players and coaches alike.
@kiwi_expat
mcdonald is just finding his feet at super level
holland well we will ask the hurricanes supporters what they think
ryan is developing nicely and is probably better now that 2 years ago
mcleod well should we ask what the fern thinks about our defenceas i said both staff average
what we need is another wayne smith. in that someone who puts ego aside and do what is needed for the all blacks to succeed. sadly all the contenders last time only wanted the top job and not work together to get best outcome. they are aloud to but best results might not happen for us.
some people here keep talking about some kind of dream team of last times contenders but none of them showed any inclination to do this and i cannot see this changing.the loser in this are the fans -

NZ's most creative/innovate attack coach: Brown.
NZ's best forwards coach: Dermody.
NZ's best defensive coach: Smith.

Henry was a shit coach but Laumape was the answer at 12 and an asset we needed to keep.
Keep delivering Fern

very surprised that Robertson wasn't properly prepared,
apparently he hadn't sorted out his coaching staff properly..Where did you hear this from,I hear differently to that he had his support staff pretty sorted.
Leon McDonald was in the mix to come on board with Razor as well as Jason Ryan and Jason Holland.
If you knew Razor you would understand he is meticulous in his planning.

It was a piece written on the net, think it was on stuff sport - anyway can't really trust what they write... only way to really know what was going on is if we actually heard him say something about it on the tv etc.

No one said Henry was a shit coach, but he wasn't a great one either... yeah, Laumape was the answer at 12 - tell me from the ABs this year anyone that performed really well at 12 ? in fact tell me any midfielder that performed really well ? they were all very average & hardly added anything on attack.

True, they all performed to Laumpape's test level. We need better.

@kiwibloke I ask this as actually a bit of a laumape fan…do you think in his 15 caps he ever really locked it up? Most would say 15 caps is a decent shot

15 caps would be a really decent shot if those games were all played in a row... but he was in & out of the team, which also makes it difficult to get a midfield combo going.

Tuitupou-from-Wish.com is not the answer to anything. And he was a bit of a bitch.

Yeah, Laumpape is average... but Laumape is a much better midfielder :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I don't think Laumape was ever hard done by, he got 15 tests, and they weren't in a row, he never in any tests I saw looked like he would be a dominant force at test level. He was still there or there abouts when he decided he wanted the money, so don't know why anyone is even worrying about him. Even at Super level generally he was a good player, but only looked 'real good' on odd occasion. I personally think Tupaea to me looks a better prospect, as he seems to have a better all round game.
In saying that I thought Havili was bloody good and perhaps his start faded a little during the test season, but I still haven't given up on him yet either. -
i'll add, i did rate him and think he could do a shift at 12, Fozzie has shown he's happy to use crash ball at 12, he tried to get Goodhue to do it in 2020 and even tried bringing bridge in from the wing to do it last year...Laumape would be much better than either of them....but i think he's a long way from the missing link between the AB and winning everything

How has Laumape being playing in France? I had read he has been fairly ordinary, so not really an endorsement that he was the answer for the ABs.

I've seen a few games he played, ho going ok without setting the place on fire.
