Foster's Firsts.
-
I keep hearing about first time this or that about Foster's tenure. Can we have a list here...
First to lose to Ireland in NZ.
First to lose a series to Ireland.
First 3 test series loss in professional era.
Worst halftime deficit ever.
First to lose to Argentina, the island stealers FFS!
First....? -

good points..
but since no fat jokes on this thread yet, i would like to add the he would be the fattest coach too, but Hansen might still beat him, but i would ask for a weigh in for proof

@KiwiMurph was just finding that, 61-17 in 2009.
The man couldn't win a one ticket raffle.

The highest scores and biggest margins are not just overall but individual nation records too, Oz, France, Ireland, SA, Argentina (obviously)

Fairly sure Hansen is quite a bit taller so I assume heavier, but both fat fluffybunnies.

First coach to get @Bartman to start a thread on crap coaches this decade.
(Fully expecting @Baron-Silas-Greenback to put in an appearance)

You know that he needs to go when Bartman makes an appearance.

First time I've doubted an AB coach.
I've always assumed there was some plan I was just too dumb to understand.
I even believed the "dry powder" throughout the 2019 World Cup, and walked out of Yokohama thinking.. "fuck - it just didn't quite work".
And throughout the last couple of years, again, just going... "fuck.. that went wrong" after each loss.
I'm finally ready to jump on the "panic and put Foster against the wall, shoot the fluffybunny" bandwagon.
But then... I've gone off half-cocked before.... -

Usually only in the movie review thread. It's a bad sign when you are commenting on the footy.
Next thing we know, we’ll find out that MN5 actually watched a rugby game.

First time I didn't give a shit about an AB loss.
I suppose that's because there have been so many of them.....

@Rancid-Schnitzel Yeah, gone numb.

@Rancid-Schnitzel
Agreed. The nervousness that used to be there is gone, because I have zero faith we can pull it out of the bag.The effects of the Foster era will be felt long term as fans and neutrals stop tuning in.

@Rancid-Schnitzel I don’t feel any worst than I did when we lost in the 2003 semi or the 2007 QF or the 2009 losses to the Boks, or those Bledisloe heartbreaks against the John Eales teams in the late 90s and early 00s or the 94 French debacle. Because for me as a fan the outcome is the same - a loss.
Sure there are things that I see as problems, but I’m just a fan and I’ll keep supporting the team no matter who’s involved - there’s pain no doubt
Given @BartMan has come out of Fern retirement - maybe he needs to get the “Keep the Faith” T-shirts back up and going again. I got mine years ago and now one of the ACTC Jnr’s wears it
