Be honest, Tahs family, is our problem actually the coach
Four coaches in six years and the same second-half fade every time, and some of you still want to fire bloke number five? The roster's been short for a while now and no clipboard fixes that, sorry. Genuinely curious who you'd even replace him with, or is that just another lotto ticket you'd put NZ$5 on at the TAB and call it a plan? 😏

Josh is spot on tbh 😤 four different blokes in the box and the same second-half fade every single time? that's a pattern, not bad luck 🤬 I remember watching us get rolled after leading at the break and thinking "here we go again". You can't coach that out if the depth just isn't there, but SOMEBODY upstairs has to answer for why the prep falls over after oranges 🔥💪One love, one side ❤️

I was at Allianz when we coughed up a lead in the second half again and thought exactly what Ben described. Josh has a point though. A fade repeating under four different coaches stops being coincidence, and until someone shows me the second-half scoring split is actually roster-driven, I'm keeping the box under suspicion. Roster's short on depth, sure, but that pattern deserves a proper look before we hand anyone a pass, mate. 📊Numbers > vibes.

Back in the day we used to blame the ref, the weather, the bounce of the ball, anything but the fellas pulling on the jersey. Watched enough Bledisloe nights at the old girl in Auckland to know a pattern when I see one though, and the young lot never saw that. Four coaches, same second-half fade... seen worse sides turn it around with a patient board, mind you, so maybe the rot's both upstairs and in the squad.😉

FrontRow88 hit the nail on the head - we've always found a scapegoat before looking at the jersey. I could be wrong, but I keep a running split sheet every round and the pattern holds across all four coaches, which makes me lean roster, though I'd still want to see how the bench minutes factor in before fully absolving the box. Context matters here.

Funny how Nick's split sheet magically agrees with everyone already leaning roster 😏 funny thing is a bloke with a clipboard can't tackle when the legs are gone in the 60th minute. Roster, and it's not even close. 🤡Any stat can be bent.

Hannah's got a point worth chasing, honestly, four coaches in six years means the constant variable is the recruitment, so I'd add a third column to the argument: who's signing the legs that vanish after minute 60? My split sheet leans roster, but bench minutes are the nuance here, and until someone separates conditioning from depth, I'm keeping the coach column half-filled. Small sample though, and I'm not ready to close the ledger on either side 📊Numbers > vibes.
