@Duluth Why do you always take the negative approach? Why would there be pressure from Razor? They're very good mates. Ryan might opt to work with Razor only, just like Brown only wanted to work with Joseph.

I'm taking the positive approach. I don't think it's disloyal for a coach to accept a good job like that.
It's a weird word to use when you are talking about an AB position vs a SR job

@KiwiMurph ah cool, so defence all good then.
Our defence line wilting under minimal pressure since 2017.

I expect in the course of time Schmidt will be asked "for his input".
At least I hope so.

@BerniesCorner said in Foster must go:
fan@ubuntu cd ../razor reboot
Que?
His username is "fan"
He has, for some bizarre reason, named his computer after an operating system.
And believes that if he issues the "reboot" command from within a certain directory, that'll change which version of the kernel is used after said reboot.
Clear? -

He might also want to stay loyal to Razor.
I don't think accepting the job of forwards coach for the ABs would be disloyal to anyone.
Do you think Robertson is the sort of person that would pressure on him? That would be gross.

No Razor would pat him on the back and wish him well.

I agree. It'd be a big promotion and opportunity. I'm sure he'd be happy for him

@Stargazer It could also be seen as an olive branch to Razor

@KiwiMurph How do you mean?
@Stargazer said in Foster must go:
@KiwiMurph How do you mean?
As a sign of recognising the great work being done at the Crusaders. Whilst Razor missed out in 2019 (presumably with Ryan in his coaching group and possibly Leon?) on the AB job that we aren't freezing you/your team out. Ryan has got some international experience since then with Fiji too - basically showing that his chances are higher with NZR than they were in 2019.

@KiwiMurph Was thinking the same thing.

@KiwiMurph yep, maybe he might also see this as too good an opportunity to knock back, even if Razor has said he is not interested right now, and if things go as most expect, would make Razors transition if he is still keen next year that bit easier

@KiwiMurph Do you mean that they could be offering Ryan an ABs assistant job to reel in Razor (a year early, before the RWC)? If not, then I see at best an olive branch being offered to the Crusaders, not so much to Razor.

Basically yeah - or if not a year early - making sure Razor applies post 2023 RWC (or whenever they do the new coach search if Foster isn't canned beforehand).

The Foster press conference was a joke This Fucking guy is delusional. If we get through the quarter finals of the Wold cup I will be amazed. Just admit that you are not up to it and resign gracefully. Any other coach in any other sport would be sacked by now. This is not about U Foster, it is what is best for the team and you may be a good bloke and all but you are not it. Enough said..

This saga shows how bloody hard it is to change a structure where the top tier needs changing
NZR/Head Coach/Assistants/AB Captain/AB Players
Pure speculation, but the best person to sort this out would be Whitelock. Ask him who do you want to run the show. He knows it all, been in a successful environment with Crusaders for years. Knows what works. Totally unfair on Whitelock of course. The situation is a mess.
