@stargazer I'd be happy with him as head coach.

@stargazer well, there is a bit of gossip I heard a couple of months ago.
The gossip is that HB missed out on signing Tom Coventry last year by three days.
June 2016 - announced that Tom Coventry is leaving London Irish
Sept 2016 - Blues announce the signing of North Harbour coach Steve Jackson as assistant coach, meaning North Harbour need a new coach for 2017
November 11, 2016 - North Harbour announce they have signed Tom Coventry
In 2015 Philpott and Lee signed contract extensions taking them through to end of 2017. Of course there are performance reviews at the end of each season which is why contracts can be terminated early.
If the gossip is true that HB missed out on signing Coventry by three days in November, then it could fit that Philpotts' and Lee's end of 2016 season reviews were probably happening then and HB attempted to sign Coventry, but just missed out.
Of course, the gossip might also be bullshit.

Does that mean we will get Hika back after hes been in France ?

We may not have an All Black at the moment, we still have Bay players playing international tests.
Tony Lamborn is in the starting line-up of the USA squad to play Germany - despite being suspended in NZ (I guess he'll serve it in club rugby in 2018, just like Manawatu's Newton Tudreu).
Dan Snee has been named at 12 for Spain and will take on Canada this weekend. -
