@Stargazer excellent. Chiefs or hurricanes fans, you guys want Mauger? He's got cute offload plans but tackling and aggression is optional...

Did you read the article? Brown will be assisting Mauger.

And the answer to your questions is NO!

[Siam]

@Nepia yes I read the article, I wanted Brown to be known as " Tony the usurper ", game of thrones style, then Mauger is free to take over from Plumtree or Cooper, or whoever else is your team this week...😉

The Chiefs already can't tackle - having the traffic conductor as coach isn't going to help that.

[Machpants]

So is this the Wolves' last season or are they in next year as well?

[Chris]

@Machpants One more year for the Sunwolves gone from 2021

[Machpants]

@Chris Thoughts so, probably won't be able to make up a team and they'll have no coaches, but they'll be there in spirit

[Chris]

@Machpants yep there must be some wolves players worth poaching by NZ or Aussie SR sides if their contracts allow.

[Stargazer]

Wasn't Tony Brown brought into the Sunwolves set-up so that Joseph could focus on preparing Japan for the RWC? Doesn't that mean that Joseph will return to coaching the Sunwolves after the RWC?

Yeah I just hope we can hold onto Hammett...

[gt12]

@Stargazer

For how long? They are getting kicked out, not surprising to bugger off in that situation.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer When I saw Hammets name and big news in the same sentence I was hoping it was news of him quitting tbh.

[Tim]

@Yeetyaah LOL, so did I.

Not like him to quit once he has got the "culture" of the organisation right. Presume that is what must be going with so many upping sticks and leaving.

I just found that little comedy gem so had to upvote even if I am a bit behind the times.

At least the Dunedin party scene will be back with Brownie in situ.

Seriously though, is there an organisation that hasn't gone backwards with him involved?
