    Can you show me how to do the neon pink background that you have?

    I’m glad that there is some honesty in the reporting rather than the “spend time with family” line when there are shock changes.

      well, part of the trick is an old monitor

      agreed on the refreshing honesty

        @Cyclops wasnt that because he got the Blues gig?

        Have to assume during their time 'apart' their visions of how to approach things has also changed?

        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.

              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!

                  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.

                          You'd hope so - I'm a big fan of his philosophy on the game. Unfortunately he's with the enemy now.

                          Not being nasty about Leon's departure either, but if we're honest our attack hasn't looked good so far this year and I didn't hold much hope based on his tenure at the Blues.

                          As noted, it's good that they've decided early. Hopefully this isn't a retrograde step...

                                      @mariner4life probably not but its also very out of character for NZR to be this decisive

                                      it's all very mature and high performance isn't it?

                                          Considering that the Canes backline attack was the only decent thing during Holland's tenure, I'm sure he could sort the backs out better than Leon
