Blues 2019

May be behind here but bumped into Ted tonight in Dublin. No interest in Blues 2019. In contrast, said coaching Auckland (in NPC) 'easy'.
Irish win good for rugby. -

Hope you bought him a drink for us. Dead set legend.

Would have done, but his wife was demanding he leave.

@kiwimurph if he (continues to) surrounds himself with yes men/women then he is safe.

@taniwharugby I wouldn't call John Hart a yes man. He's already demoted Tana ahead of schedule.
@kiwimurph woulda thought his role shoulda been one of the first to go then given some of the shite he has overseen, Hart or no Hart...but he is still there...

The window to get rid of him is longer than the window for changing coaches. Umaga needed to be sacked quickly so MacDonald could start preparing for the new season.
Hopefully he is next on NZR's hit list. Then Hanks.

this board is showing the previous boards what governance looks like. Actually taking actions that directly affect the franchise in a positive way - and taking some tough decisions. Has Hart's fingerprints all over it; he's astute and fearless.
I'm more positive about the long term future of the Blues than I have been for years.

@tim had heard Matich had taken an injury cover contract with the blues.
Good old bronco, wonder if Tom Robinsons record still stands.

@tim It is, and also I have seen Waimana Riedlinger-Kapa, i think Jonno Kitto and Tomas Aoake (former warriors u20 wing/centre now with Ta$man. was in Crusaders dev team this season) in photos and a video on the Blues facebook page.

@daffy-jaffy comments on the IG page would indicate Aoake is there
