[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 470440, member: 43875"] Also important for building a good team environment and getting the best out of the players - which as I pointed out was one of the key ingredients Ted added to the mix. Fosters record isn't flash, but he's never had a good enough tight 5 to seriously push for the ***le, Chiefs have had journeyman props and locks the whole way through - year in and year out having IMO the weakest tight 5 on paper out of the NZ based teams. At least with the All Blacks he wont have that and for the most part he wont be coaching the forwards anyway. Need to look at more than just the results - if anything the team that always seems to score below par for their strength on paper is the Blues. I have my beefs with Foster, they had one of the most talented back lines in the game this year but Foster persisted at 12 with a plonker who couldn't pass so everyone 13 and out were starved almost the whole season. For his faults, he did some good things too. [/QUOTE]
