People will disagree due to the amount of hate for Hasler but there is no denying the man can coach. His record speaks for itself. However he too would have had to deal with all the back ended contracts which is what left us with a reserve grade forward pack the past few years. I would not be surprised if thats one of the reasons he left.
Bad decisions left us with a reserve grade pack - we had potentially the best two young centres in whare and hiku coming through system just as one example and we let whare go and played hiku on the wing while we paid Lyon and Matai who didn't want to be there major coin - money that could have been spent on better forwards. Secession planing is important any organisation and we failed to do that.
