[QUOTE="unrated, post: 988441, member: 45773"] From my point of view it has to do with three factors. Firstly they should be commended for sticking with Tana for so long, it would not have helped their cause to drop the axe. I think firstly their culture needs to be identified. When i think of the Higlanders, Hurricanes and Crusaders then i have a clear play style in mind. With the Blues i dont get that. I have not feared a blues side since 2010. They bought a trump card in BB but then they gave him a sabbatical. You cant carry a team on the sidelines. Simply their squad is not off the standard required to be a playoff contender. There is lots of talk every year that this would be their year but every year its not. They just dont seem to have that magical ability to sneak a win that other NZ teams does. What the blues need now is to spend some serious money and get great players to come in and support BB, bring in TJ, bring in Retallick, get Itoje on the plane from England with the Saracens stuff happening. This will at least make up for their lack of culture in the short term. [/QUOTE]
