                Finally some good news. My only concern was you'd have thought when putting together this team, they'd have ensured the philosophy was the same.

                we've all hired people who look great at interview but turn out to be a bit shit. Didn't make probation period.

                        From memory, LM quit the Crusaders for family reasons after 2017 and was happy just doing NPC. Then he took the Blues job in 2019

                                Yeah, plenty of time since then, just a funny coincidence.

                                Looked it up and he was at the crusaders in 2017 and blues head coach in 2019, but can't remember whether he was a blues assistant in 2018.

                                    you know what, that's the most positive thing i have seen out of this coaching group yet. This isn't working, lets try something else. Nice and quick too.

                                    you know what, that's the most positive thing i have seen out of this coaching group yet. This isn't working, let’s try something else. Nice and quick too.

                                    My thoughts as well, let’s not fuck around with this , see ya mate,

                                    I heard on the radio , tamati Ellison might be the fill in , is that confirmed?

                                      Yeah, plenty of time since then, just a funny coincidence.

                                      Looked it up and he was at the crusaders in 2017 and blues head coach in 2019, but can't remember whether he was a blues assistant in 2018.

                                      Leon was both head coach of Ta$man and assistant coach at Crusaders for one year. He quit the ass coach job, I think because the dual roles were putting pressure on family life. He was just head coach of Ta$man in 2018.

                                      He was initially hired as an ass coach for the Blues, but got promoted to head coach before the 2019 season started.

                                        Welp with the inneffectiveness of our attack, I assume he had checked out weeks ago!

                                          They should have sorted their difference with arm wrestling.

                                          firstly, Leon is jacked. Tren for life.

                                          secondly that singlet looks stupid as shit. It looks like some fucking bogan has ripped the sleeves off his collared shirt.
