                @Kiwiwomble I reckon Eddie would be one of those types you either get on with or think he is an absolute fluffybunny and not much in between.

                        i get and your right....its just its the RWC so i think it would have to be unbelievably bad for someone to not be able to tolerate it for a couple of months more

                        I've just witness Mrs Womble get bullied atrociously for the last couple of years by her boss....but she kept going back as she couldnt find another job and we have a mortgage

                          @mariner4life I must just be lucky then, my boss is great and we have an awesome team, makes the actual work more bearable.

                          It would take an awful lot of money for me to stay at a job I hated with a shitty culture form the top, but do agree with the big dance so close...maybe he has had another offer and could start early?

                            @taniwharugby I would pull the pin too if I wasn’t aligned . You can take a bit of difference in style if you agree with the direction. But if you think you aren’t doing the right thing, and you’re a leader, you have to speak up and work it out. If you still can’t get alignment you have to go - however you would have thought this would have happened way earlier. They are an absolute mess.

                            Trouble is we are tied to them with Super rugby. If Mark Robinson thinks NPC is not fit for purpose (the totally wrong phrase to use) what would he say about Super rugby where NZRFU have bet the house?

                              This seems out of character for Eddie and his assistants.

                              I suggest that they're on different wavelengths and if you feel professionally you're not getting anywhere and personally diminished, leaving makes sense.

                                That's the key right, if you can do it without any worries then I think it's better for you. My previous job I quit because my bosses were idiots and I just hated going into work each day - this was 2 months out from us getting the equivalent or our RWC. But, for me personally that's not a way to live my life.

                                I assume this Aussie coach found it similar.

                                      He just lost an assistant

                                      There isn't much spin needed

                                      There's more coming the other way where we have gone from smashing and grabbing this world cup
                                      To basically talking about 4 years time

                                          Ah, they're Owen four
                                          His squad is weird
                                          He just lost an assistant

                                          There isn't much spin needed

                                          There's more coming the other way where we have gone from smashing and grabbing this world cup
                                          To basically talking about 4 years time

                                          Aussie Rugby had become a graveyard for everyone - coaches, administrators, players. It’s living off past glories (i.e. still overly ambitious given its resources)
                                          and needs to play a smarter long term game. Not sure Eddie is the man manager they need.
