@Bovidae said in Chiefs 2026:
An opportune time for Jacomb to step up against his soon-to-be team in Rd 2. The 50:22 was his highlight, but we didn't see him put players into space. And like Perofeta, goal-kicking can be erratic.
Yeah, agree. Was not his finest game.
Next week will be a big clash. Millar will be amping up too. Going against the man his franchise actively sought out to replace him. Because they decided he was not good enough. Plenty for him to prove against Jacomb.
Just one last thing on the terms 'investment' v regret.
Investment is tangible. It isn't just money it is time, personal development, rugby knowledge etc. It is all measurable. It is a statement of fact.
While regret is of course, an emotion and feeling. Saying you want the player to feel regret is saying you want them to feel sad/disappointed when leaving. It is something that is not measurable.
There is also an easy media article to follow up with Jacomb after the season or next year. Gibbes said in February he hoped you regretted leave. Did you regret leaving? Same with if he does media during the season? Has this season made tou regret your decision?
Anyway, said my piece on the matter!
