    @Kiwiwomble said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:

    why would we think having two strong options for a position means we have to move people around, get them working together and pushing each other, give razor options, we might even have the depth to chose horses for courses...game plans specific to our Opposition

    dur, because they are both awesome and therefore we just have to pick both of them

    we're having the same convo as the other day!

    Proctor is a rookie. Very promising but a rookie nonetheless.

    There are 15 test matches this year.

    It doesn’t make sense that proctor plays all of those and he will get his chances if picked.

    If required Reiko could move to the wing if they bring procter on.

    The ABs have been at their best when we have got depth. Having 2 players that can play centre is a great thing for us. Procter has a lot to prove to become an international class centre

      I'm sure I saw that Hansen will be in that mix. He feels like Razor's Smith to me so I imagine he gets a voice

      They broke it up as follows as far as responsibility for selections are made, this according to an interview with Razor before SR.

      Ryan tight 5
      Razor LF's
      Hansen HBs and First fives
      Holland MF
      McDonald outside backs

      Overseen by Razor with Wayne Smiths in put.

      Genius. Just set up 2-3 sub-committees to co-ordinate selection and we'll be sweet.

          Or they are bringing in specialisation to the selection process enabling closer scrutiny to pick their best players that fit into the wider gameplan.

          It’s a different approach which may work better.

          Having said that, I’m not sure how hard it is to pick a squad of 32 out of 170 odd players.

          Most posters on here would be able to get 90% of the squad correct anyway.

            Be good to have the captain fuck off shortly after getting used to his role.

            But he wouldn't be going when he is doing his role. Basiacally he redundant as captain during super anyway because team isn't playing. I can't really recall any AB captain having anytjing to do with his role at that time.
            I have no opinion on whether he should be captain, but taking time off during super ,I wouldn't think would or should be a big factor.

              Was slightly taking the piss, but it seems way more convoluted than it need be.

              Plenty of scapegoats if things go tits up though.

                  Ah fair enough,

                  I like the idea of it. As long as there is crystal clear clarity on the requirements of specific positions based on the gameplan.

                    The funny bit is that it's been stated that Razor will be the one to make the decision if there are disagreements.

                    Exactly how are there going to be disagreements here? Is Ryan going to disagree with himself as to who the tight 5 are? An enormus shouting match between Holland and McDonald as to whether JB is a 2nd 5 or a fullback? A stoush between Ryan and Razor if SB is a lock or a 6?

                        Well we got no AB captain now and I not sure it hurts. Mind you , I would be quite happy if they just named captain year by year, so noone feels they got mortgage on it or jersy. But that me probably just showing age?

                          Matt Manukia (Communications Manager)

                          The media comms should improve from that shambles of a lady that was around during Fozzie's tenure.

                            Matt Manukia was there when Fozzie was. He was definitely there during the WC.

                              And he has recently handed his ticket in. Haven't seen the role advertised either. Considering how demanding it is, in terms of time away from home,pay is similar to what decent public service roles are. I think last time it came up, it was around 130 - 140kish. So may be add another 5% to that amount. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/media-insider-newshub-nation-presenter-joins-nbr-all-blacks-comms-boss-quits/UR5Q6VMITZERRPU4R5VEIO3JZM/

                                Ah thanks. I guess my wider point was I don't see the lady there from Fozzie's reign.

                                  I'm sure I saw that Hansen will be in that mix. He feels like Razor's Smith to me so I imagine he gets a voice

                                  They broke it up as follows as far as responsibility for selections are made, this according to an interview with Razor before SR.

                                  Ryan tight 5
                                  Razor LF's
                                  Hansen HBs and First fives
                                  Holland MF
                                  McDonald outside backs

                                  Overseen by Razor with Wayne Smiths in put.

                                  Genius. Just set up 2-3 sub-committees to co-ordinate selection and we'll be sweet.

                                  The funny bit is that it's been stated that Razor will be the one to make the decision if there are disagreements.

                                  Exactly how are there going to be disagreements here? Is Ryan going to disagree with himself as to who the tight 5 are? An enormus shouting match between Holland and McDonald as to whether JB is a 2nd 5 or a fullback? A stoush between Ryan and Razor if SB is a lock or a 6?

                                        Fuck me. More coaches and managers than a small country's rail network.

                                        I don't know why anyone would be remotely surprised about this unless they're still living in the 1990's?

                                        All tier-1 setups look like this now, your minds would blow seeing the size of an NFL setup, also the team at 2023 World Cup was even bigger as there were 7 on-field coaches altogether with Foster, Schmidt, Strawbridge, McLeod, Hill, Ryan, Feek - along with the same amount of managerial staff that's listed here.

                                          I'm sure. Seeing the whole caboodle in one list can still make you scratch your head though.
