[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 795180, member: 55747"] I'm with Dark Horse on this one. I've heard this argument before and i don't buy it. It kinda sounds as if we are talking about different sports and it looks, well, far fetched to say the least. I can understand a bit, but just a tiny bit of adjustment here and there, but the way the excuse comes out it sounds as that if you take Barcelona and made them play in Argentina they'd lose most games because it's their first season at AFA. It's a very hard sell and i for one, am not buying it. I am not sure whether this is true or not (my gut feeling tells me it is) but if it is, then he is 100% not the man for the job. I do not want a guy who is going to learn by doing at this level. I want someone who knows from day 1. I want a guy who will take the players to the next level. If we don't have such a guy in our ranks, then why not hire an outside coach (or co-coach) who knows the competition and the opposition? It sounds as if we, quite literally, threw away a year of rugby, just to have someone learn the ropes. I do not like how that sounds. Not one bit. I know the idea of a foreign coach is not a popular one, but i really don't care. The priority should be the results and if we need an outsider to get those results, so be it. Additionally this ain't the national team, it's a franchise in a club competition. I'm all about being patient with the long term plan so i'm cutting him some slack, but things need to change. The real tests for me now are vs the Sharks and vs the Lions. Cheers [/QUOTE]
