@steven-harris said in Taranaki v Wellington:
@stargazer agree with your coms,never enjoyable watching a team getting relegated,you would not have picked this when Taranaki dealt to Manawatu in their shield defence earlier in the year..On paper they looked a really good team but I just suspect once a few injuries bit along with losing their skipper to the All Blacks the wheels fell off..!.
On top of the long injury list has been a change of coach from Cooper to Rickards.

@steven-harris I think they lost a few of thier corporate sponsors due to the ground issues, but I suspect many will be back once back to normal.
Bit of a hospital pass to thier new CEO though and then came the on field performances to make his job that much tougher to generate income in the short term, but then he has experience trying to attract sponsors for an under performing team.

@taniwharugby The area has been in an economic decline in the last few years mostly due to oil & gas with the follow on to engineering. I can't see Jacindarella making things any easier with her call to stop exploration as well as extra taxes so I would expect Taranaki will be in for some very lean years ahead.
So glad I was back in NP for that golden year.

@rembrandt just don’t let the CEO get involved in recruiting players,especially ones from Argentina off tube true story..!
