      @tim aren't a lot of options in Canberra. A player that's willing to come would be accepted with open arms. Especially one with Test experience.

          True on so many levels.

          Lots of roundabouts though 😉

                @kiwimurph I quite like this appointment. Not just because he's a good ref, but also because he was thrown under the bus by the WR judiciary a month ago.

                  @stargazer Surely that was an independent judiciary, not WR? That's the point, bunch of so called experts (Ozzies players from ages ago) no have no idea.

                    @machpants Yes, independent, but appointed by WR, hence, WR judiciary (as opposed to Sanzaar appointed judiciary).

                      although the Aussie ref boss came out and backed him didnt they?

                      Guess SANZAR are not expecting the Tahs to win 😉

                            Gibson has been very lucky to survive in previous years. The Tahs have certainly improved since he took over defence responsibilities from Nathan Grey.

                              Gibson actually wanted a 1 year deal instead of a 2 year deal. Both Gibson and Tana will be gone in 12 months time.

                                The good news is the Tahs have secured Chris Whitaker as an assistant coach next year. So hopefully Phipps will improve!

                                      A couple of weeks in Auckland should remove all traces of integrity from his system then he can poach away.

                                          @duluth he'd not be doing his Blues job properly if he identified players in the Crusaders academy that would fill gaps at the Blues and chose to do nothing.
