@antipodean It's not odd that he was nominated, but he wasn't the only one bringing a team back to the top, and winning back-to-back titles in Super Rugby should have topped it IMO.

Going back to back in Super Rugby has been done before. And given the shit state of the competition, I don't consider it that much of an achievement.

Now if Alama can't take credit because other people were involved, why should Razor?

I don't understand this comment. I didn't make, nor imply it.

Robertson changed the team from a team that couldn't win the SR competition for years, into a team that won it back-to-back in his first and second year as an SR coach. I rate Super Rugby higher than Mitre 10 Cup, so that's why I consider that a greater achievement. But having said that, I'm happy for Alama Ieremia, he did an awesome job with Auckland.

That's what I inferred when you said "he wasn't the only one bringing a team back to the top".

Alama took a team that hadn't won a competition for longer. Normally I'd rate Razor's achievement higher, but Super Rugby is shit.

@siam said in Aussie Cricket:

Might be a good toss to lose. Otherwise batting first should be the default. Talk of it being bouncy but no sample size to see how it plays.

This is the reason why I'm not a fan of drop in pitches.

Odd.

No that odd given what his team finally achieved.

@machpants said in Has Hansen gone stale?:

@antipodean I'm pretty sure the end of year forms the players do are anon, they'd be pointless otherwise.

I want to read them but.

I keep this on repeat lately. Just something real catchy about it.

@machpants I know a lot of people deride Foster as a coach, but I'm sure that Hansen wouldn't tarnish his own reputation and the legacy of the All Blacks if he didn't believe Fozzy was a good coach.

It would be interesting what the players would say if they were free from any fallout in providing frank and honest feedback to NZR during the process.

Room for benefit of the doubt. Not like he had a Rover...
