They lead all the euro comps in red cards (and yellows too I think). Pretty easy when you have Coleman mind you.

He's far from on his own in earning them though - in addition to Coleman's red Creevy, Donnell and Loader have all picked up a red card. And that's before you get to the yellows - Simmons has 4 of those this season.

it would be a surprise if Les left his current job where he's been head coach at London Irish.

qwerty, I'd take Coleman in a heartbeat over any second rower we have.
top 20 in lineout wins and top 10 in steals.

Laurie out it looks like. McKellar probably staying on?

Jeez, that's a bold call.
I would have thought that if Eddie had to pick one of Lord or McKellar, it would have been Lord

hmm.. was this decision independent of Rennie's sacking I wonder, or not?

So if Taylor/Laurie were doing defence and up until earlier this year, Wisemantal was doing attack, what is McKellar covering?

McKellar - forwards
DuPlessis - scrum
Wisemantel - attack
Laurie - defence/breakdown - which has also been his role at the Brumbies the last few seasons, but will revert back to forwards coach under Bernie

I wait a big name like Maguire to replace Laurie cause I quite like this guy.

Defense and breakdown are interconnected, they go hand in hand mate. Scott Robertson became an assistant coach for Canterbury in his 30's shortly after he retired from playing where he spent many seasons coaching Canterbury's defense & breakdown after Robbie Deans told him to go specialize in one area. Canterbury won 6 consecutive NPC titles (2008-2013) while he was in charge of that area. Razor is the breakdown and defensive expert, as he learnt off the best, including the master Richie during his playing days.
So there's a clear solution for Laurie's replacement, Razor to coach D & breakdown as a temporary appointment for 2023 after Super season finishes, Nuicifora is the next best option being the breakdown king but he's unavailable until next year, Simon Cron perhaps?

How did Razor learn from Richie if he finished his career in Saders in 2003 and Richie started in 2001???
You only have 8 months to prepare a World Cup squad and you want an assistant coach for the last 3 months???? And someone who's going to coach NZ after WC, so he will steal all the secrets of your team. A very smart move lol
We have this narrative that Eddie got rid of him, with little actual facts and a load of supposition
With the same facts, the new coach requires more commitment in time (away from home) than the assistant coach was prepared to deliver.
Coaching the Wobs (and playing for the wobs) is a big commitment in being on the road, away from home, it just doesn't suit everybody

Funny though that Eddie has said he'll use super coaches for a smash and grab..
I don't think that is his first preference

Could work for this year! Brad Thorn for forwards, Stephen Larkham for backs. I don't know what Simon Cron's or Darren Coleman's speciality is.
