With Browny leaving they'll be needing another backs coach, so we will probably see Dermody appointed (based on his success in 2021) as head coach & them bringing back (former U20 coach) Ozich to be their attack coach. Can't really see anything else happening.

@Kiwiwomble it will be really interesting, really need a bit of a sea change i think.

that one....that one was deliberate

Does CGB play 10? Something in my memory suggests he does but maybe I am imagining that. If he does have some history at 10 I wouldn't mind seeing him get a run there given NZ's lack of quality depth in that position.
-
@Crazy-Horse hasn't done so at pro level, maybe at scots college he dabbled at first five idk

Stop stalling and just give us Havili

Stuff suggests a few names for the next Highlanders coach:
-
@Duluth So, regarding Ozich, Cully mentions him coaching Southland Boys and has totally missed Ozich coaching Hastings Boys to a Top 4 title?
Brad Mooar? I doubt his Crusaders connection would bother Highlanders fans if they were confident he could get the results they're longing for (like MacDonald did with the Blues, also with a Crusaders connection), but can they be that confident?
Are Otago fans actually happy with Donnelly's results over the past few years?
Chris Boyd sounds like a good option, but I'd rather have him back at the Canes.
-
@Stargazer in fairness, that sentence was mainly his connection to the south, southland boys<southland<highlanders, not a full resume
I'm happy enough with donnelly, he doesn't have an abundance of superstars and some of his big guns have had real injury issues

@Crazy-Horse credit to you mate you had an inkling that 1 of the landers regular outside backs would be looking for a go in the 10 Jersey, not CGB but it's close enough
-
@FakatavaFuture yeah didn't see that coming. Maybe Gilbert has history at 10?
-
@Crazy-Horse yeah for St Andrews college and Green island😅

Here's an even better solution.
They should've kept Josh McKay at the Highlanders and selected him at 10 since he was the Chch Boys High superstar playing in that very position?
-
@Asterik6 I mean it's all hindsight, if they had a crystal ball and knew Nehe, koroi and Alaimalo (varying circumstances) would play less than a handful of combined game in recent seasons they might've kept McKay maybe? all I know for sure is hunt is best served as an impact sub so hopefully Gilbert can have a fantastic foray in the 10 jersey
