[QUOTE="Substitute, post: 145135"] Brian Ashton hasn't done in one year what Robbo did in 3. He's done categorically worse (whether it's his fault or not). Under Robbo we pushed South Africa and NZ all the way, late tries would have won us both games. We lost closely to Argentina - even that wouldn't happen on current form. Ashton meanwhile has overseen our heaviest defeats to Ireland, South Africa and, now no doubt, Samoa. And for a visionary back coach he has managed a back line that can't score. I think Ashton has changed things and they haven't worked but you can't really call him better than Robbo - which is the most terrible thing you can say. I hope Tait moves south because everyone at Newcastle have been chumps. As for Andrew, I nothing him. I don't think he does anything uo there and draw money - his influence on this will be roughly nil. And even if we freed up his salary it probably wouldn't release enough for us to poach the best youngsters from Aus, NZ etc., but you never know. I've heard his salary is extortioniate. Will Mark Regan, Martin Corry, Lawrence Dallaglio, Shaum Perry, Andy Farrell and Jamie Noon all please sod off. International class, my arse. [/QUOTE]
