    The problem for the Blues is not scoring points (although they have scored the least in the NZ conf) but conceding more points. D-fence!!

    I take it the board and CEO are staying as is then. What a shambles. Can't believe Redman still has a job.

    Dead Man Walking. Leon surely is now in charge and they are just managing Tana out (keeping SBW happy until the World Cup?).

    If they can get a decent forwards coach as well to work with him, and Jackson can improve defence it will be a big step forward.

    As much as I dislike ex-players as coaches, at least this time they have picked one that has improved a team to NPC finalists, and been part of a Super Rugby winning combination. Small things like looking at results like that instead of celebrity status.

    Hopefully they will keep Tana out of any more selection choices too.

    I love that they don't want to undo all the hard work and 'experience' by putting a new coach at the helm...

    I just don't understand why he does't quit? I guess he just doesn't care about his reputation at all.

    Must be a good pay check.

    I can't believe he ever got the job. What were the board thinking?

    @duluth the 'cover' of that youtube vid shows me a grinning Tana and a steely visaged Leon. Just on that I know who I'd pick to kick a poor performing franchise into gear! 😉

    The irony is that MacDonald could take Umaga's position again and Mitchell and Deans have nothing to do with it this time. 🤣

    Well, i was expecting more peoples heads to be exploding after Tana got an extendion but i guess everyone saw it coming.

    Leon is a good signing. Hopefully they can upgrade a few of the others too.

    That's a Crosby Stills and Nash song right there. I'll buy you a virtual beer if you can name it.

    The other factor is there may be a deeper coaching pool available in 12 months time than there is now. The likes of Gatland, Pivac (if he was unsuccessful getting the Welsh gig) etc. So a 1 year deal for Tana isn't the worst outcome.

    Not bad, but I was going for Helplessly Hoping.
