[QUOTE="austingtir, post: 777861, member: 54150"] I agree he hasnt really achieved enough for me to be running a super rugby outfit. He's ended up more there on his own mana in NZ rugby circles than anything else imo. It is a bit of a continuation of an old boys network up there imo even though he's arguably more connected to welly thats the really annoying part of anything to do with the blues.... That said im not unhappy that he's running the joint as I really dont think he can do any worse than the likes of pat lam and JK. I think the onus should be heavier on guys like Blackadder, Joseph, Tana and all the ex players to prove themselves without doubt at a lower level before they get handed these high paying coaching gigs. As other than Joseph the proof kinda says it doesnt work unless they work their way up to that level with some hard graft. You never know though their playing roster is pretty good they just lack depth in a few key positions like 10 and the front row/locks. [/QUOTE]
