      Did I read correctly that Foster is on $1,000,000 per year salary? No wonder he is reluctant to go.

      Exactly. It's not like he has any prospect of getting anything like that anywhere else. Maybe KFC will give him a role somewhere. He has after all single-handedly kept several of their franchises afloat.

          @chimoaus would seem on the high side?

          Arent the top ABs 'only' on 750-900kk or there abouts from NZR?

              Not for Foster, it’s not. When it comes to him and donuts I picture Scrooge McDuck diving into his money bin.

                          Im not anti Hansen , we had some great times under his coaching , but he did push hard for fozzie to take over once he had finished ,

                          I remember the glowing praise leading into the 2019 WC saying he is coaching so well , he is the man for the job,

                            Who is triggered? I said the jokes were tired. And they were.

                            Maybe someone is triggered by the thought of someone being triggered?

                              Ian Foster must go as part of an All Blacks rebuild
                              Marc Hinton
                              13:00, Jul 18 2022
                              
                              OPINION: Ian Foster is surely a goner. Among the laundry list of issues the board of New Zealand Rugby has to work through over the next few days around the All Blacks, that decision should take the least of their time.
                              
                              The board, we now know unequivocally, got it patently wrong when they extended Foster’s contract as All Blacks head coach through to the 2023 World Cup last year based on back-to-back home victories over a weak Wallabies side. Now these guardians of the game in this country must put their hands up and concede (as I noted at the time) that the decision was premature, and horrendously erroneous.
                              
                              Any other course of action could lead to the provinces wondering whether they have the right people running the game in this country.

                                The time for risk is now. No more delay.
                                We need the young ones to start. Bower, ST, Vaai, Paps and QT

                                Test out JB at 12, Jordan at 15 if thats what they want to try.
                                Try BB as impact sub.
                                Cant believe Sotutu and Grace haven't had a decent outing.
                                Shift Ardie from 8.

                                      Ratpoo used to hold a massive grudge against rugby in NZ because he claimed he was never allowed to ask hard questions or was snubbed because he did. Don't know how true that was.
                                      The biggest problem is that NZ is a small place and shows like the Breakdown have to be 'nice' in case they lose access to players and coaches. Sky have to 'win' the rights to show the game from NZR so have to toe the line.

                                        @Bovidae Are they allowed to?

                                        Why would they even go if they can't? When I've watched the press conferences often it is the overseas journalists who ask the most relevant questions. I don't buy that they can't for being afraid of losing access to the ABs.

                                          Ratpoo used to hold a massive grudge against rugby in NZ because he claimed he was never allowed to ask hard questions or was snubbed because he did. Don't know how true that was.
                                          The biggest problem is that NZ is a small place and shows like the Breakdown have to be 'nice' in case they lose access to players and coaches. Sky have to 'win' the rights to show the game from NZR so have to toe the line.

                                          @Crucial NZR own shares in Sky don't they? The Breakdown is released on the ABs YouTube channel.
