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).

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!

The Jaguares have a new head coach: former Argentina international Gonzalo Quesada

A couple of weeks in Auckland should remove all traces of integrity from his system then he can poach away.
-
Leon MacDonald's soon to be ex boss, begs him to have no integrity and half arse it at his new job

@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.

Would be interesting to know if there is anything in his contract about ip and intelligence gained through his role and how he can use it. Would be bloody hard to prove that it was using that intel and not just good scouting though (assuming such a clause did exist).
You'd figure that given the relative performances of the two franchises the crusaders would have their pick of the academy though, maybe only a promise of a starting position would be the blues trump card.

@cyclops not to mention the IP is ultimately owned by NZR...

I only looked over the Ta$man/MacDonald poaching article quickly, but to me it read more like they had most of their players contracted, and were confident that MacDonald would not try to get players to break contracts, or leave Ta$man for Auckland even if they joined the Blues?
-
....meanwhile Auckland (who part own the Blues) loan Ta$man (Crusaders partners) a promising young player who played for the Blues this year....
@kiwimurph and the next part of the story will probably read something like this,has an outstanding season for Ta$man,and then signs with the Saders and Ta$man.
Think I have read this script before.
