    @mariner4life Ran into him a couple of times in the Wellington Football Club's Isherwood Lounge where he was enjoying the associated activities surrounding rugby with his Axemen mates when he was living in Kilbirnie. Seemed to be a thoroughly decent down to earth bloke.

        i met him a few times through rugby, and at his pub (playing against him even at his age then was fucking fun, what a unit) as he was mates of mates. Seemed a good rooster

        shit. i just googled his age. He seemed old when i played him. turns out he was the same age i was in my last year of prems. I don't feel so bad about the towelling (and verbals) i copped.

                    @Machpants I wonder if Eddie Jone's appointment may have speed this along. Whoever takes over next year is going to have to oversee a major rebuild as there are so many players leaving. Razor sounds like he is in the boxseat. Wonder who is in contention for the assistants roles.

                          There's a lot of silly speculation in the media but I have no problem with van Royen's reporting today. The direct quotes from Robertson were news worthy

                          The question is whether Robertson is playing political games and attempting to put pressure on NZR by making those comments, or if he stupidly blurted out something he wasn't supposed to

                            I read somewhere that Robertson is keen to have Holland included as one of his assistants, so if he gets the role that is great news for Hurricanes fans.

                                This comment is interesting to me:

                                “I’ve had options, but I’ve always said, my preference is to be here in New Zealand and coach my country, but I’ve also been really patient. I think where we are now, we’re going to deal with rather than what has happened....the next two weeks is big.
                                

                                Has he been that patient? He's been basically telling them to appoint him or he'll leave. I don't mind him doing so either, but I'm not sure that makes him patient, given he is under contract here.

                                  The question is whether Robertson is playing political games and attempting to put pressure on NZR by making those comments, or if he stupidly blurted out something he wasn't supposed to

                                  This comment is interesting to me:

                                  “I’ve had options, but I’ve always said, my preference is to be here in New Zealand and coach my country, but I’ve also been really patient. I think where we are now, we’re going to deal with rather than what has happened....the next two weeks is big.
                                  

                                  Has he been that patient? He's been basically telling them to appoint him or he'll leave. I don't mind him doing so either, but I'm not sure that makes him patient, given he is under contract here.

                                  @gt12 I think it's a fair comment that he's been patient. He's hung around 4 more years in NZ after being passed over for Foster.

                                    @KiwiMurph agreed even more so considering foster has survived a contract extension and a review from memory

                                      At this stage anyone other than Foster is a good pick and if it's announced before the WC then more the better!!

                                        It has been an abysmal 4 years not only in results but in terms of innovation, direction, tactics, etc. Same results but a sense of building, a new approach, etc, would have been far more acceptable. I feel 4 years have been frustratingly wasted.

                                          @SBW1 said in Foster, Robertson etc:

                                          @Machpants I wonder if Eddie Jone's appointment may have speed this along. Whoever takes over next year is going to have to oversee a major rebuild as there are so many players leaving. Razor sounds like he is in the boxseat. Wonder who is in contention for the assistants roles.

                                          I read somewhere that Robertson is keen to have Holland included as one of his assistants, so if he gets the role that is great news for Hurricanes fans.

                                          Then you can replace him with the other Jason - former Manawatu head coach, probably their best ever, now coaching Suntory with remarkable success.
