Chop chop for Mr Henry?

Question

Staying in Wellington with the biggest storm for a million years forecast when you could have been throwing the ball around in Syders ? Blaming the team for errors when they were coming off a by and stuck indoors - isn't that S****y coaching ? When will Henry shoulder some blame for loosing games?

Answer 1

i think it was a combined effort of the coach and team, you can never expect a team to win win win win win, like previously, under henry. he has one of the best track records of any nz coach =\ now all u can do is try and blame him for a loss? get behind him and the team you slackers, hes got the job. what are the chances of winning a world cup without expeareance? **** ...even the coach  needs some, but ono everyone has to be quick to find someone to blame ... cant stand people still going on about it =\

Answer 2

I think the team and the coach are to blame...I mean did Henry tell them to miss tackles and drop the ball....roll on Beijing..I'd rather watch athletes like Valerie Vili who do it for the love of their sport...

Man, I really love the AB's but I'd rather watch league...go the Warriors...lol

Answer 3

Being from the Northern Hemisphere, I never really understood what was so special about Robbie Dean, but considering how he's turned Australia around, it was almost a criminal offence not to appoint him the top job in New Zealand.

I believe New Zealand are going through what we (Ireland) went through with our coach. Kept him on after a disappointing world cup and now we've cut him loose and got a much better coach. Here's hoping it works out for New Zealand.

Jake White's probably the only person I can think of unless there's a few up and coming Kiwi coaches.

Answer 4

Well at John hart Had the decency to accept responsibility for the world cup defeat by resigning as soon as he got off the plane in Auckland, John Mitchell got the chop yet they keep this loser Henry on??? Beats me.

Answer 5

Henry screwed up yet again! We all said Smith should be starting at centre, but no he thought a guy whose playing in only his second test would be do better. Why take our only specialist openside of after only 50 minutes - ridiculous. Other pathetic selections that have happened this year are the selections of Adam Thompson - i think everyone would agree that kieran reads of a slightly different class! Non selections of Piri Weepu, Masaga and the reluctance to play masoe against south africa when we had no other openside flanker available and then having the cheek to say the inexperience in the loose forwards lost us that game and thats just the start of it. What an earth goes through these coaches heads!

Answer 6

Are you kidding?? Henry wasn't on the field dropping all the ball. What needs to happen is the players have to man up and say they lost the game. It's about time sports stopped shooting the coach every time a team losses.

Answer 7

The all-blacks are a bunch of hyped-up over-paid woosies!

To much money and booze and time on their hands has killed the game and that also goes for most other sports!

Answer 8

knives...not knifes

things like that make us sound stupid team!

Answer 9

I  quite agree with you what the h**l is Henry thinking of does he think he is better than the game of rugby or what, It is about time we as the rugby watching public should be able to have more say in who does the coaching  I,will never go to another all black game while Henry is still coach  bloody weak NZ R.U.

Answer 10

coach has lost the plot,did he ever have it?

What a master taking the best 2 players off after just taking the lead.

Answer 11

GET OVER YOURSELVES YOU FICKLE SUPPORTERS!  We are sick and tired of hearing idiotic Kiwis who are just so negative.  It's so amazing.  Anybody would think a loss is the end of the world.  Kiwis need to wake up and realise that a team even the All Blacks cannot win every single game.  No team is invincible.  The person who posted this childish question is just a FICKLE PESON who clearly is not a true supporter of the All Blacks.  The country does not need people like you.  MOVE FORWARD AND GET BEHIND THE ALL BLACKS .  GO THE ALL BLACKS AND GO GRAHAM HENRY!  COME ON NEW ZEALAND LETS BE SUPPORTIVE!  Lets pull them up and not pull them down

Answer 12

Henry said 2 things wrong   ...."judge me on our performance after the world cup"...and ..."if i could go back i wouldn't change a thing"..WTF...is he still doing there...rotation is making the AB's look like amateurs...they dont stand a chance with a couch with that attatude.....

Answer 13

I said from the time Henry lost the world cup he should be gone and Jake White approached to coach All Blacks,at least he has a hard nosed attitude like All Black coachs and players of the past,i am sick to death of this pc rubbish we play now,game plan what game plan if thats the best Henry can come up with God help us,if the Warriors were more consistant i would watch them instead,we will never win another world cup until we change our attitude to our national game.

Answer 14

The last 25 minutes of that game was the worst performance I have ever seen by an All Black team...........lets hope Lauaki never wears an All Black jersey again!

Answer 15

Bring back Buck!

Answer 16

It should have been chop chop for Mr Henry straight after the abysmal performance in the World Cup. We must do whatever we can to get either Warren Gatlan or Robbie Deans back, but failing that I think almost anyone would be better than Henry.

Answer 17

we're rapt Aussie won. Graeme Henry and Steve Hansen should resign right now before anymore damage to New Zealand Rugby is done. As they should've after the World Cup fiasco. Go Robbie !!!

Answer 18

What I dont get is Henry is probably the best coach for the All Blacks now since Deans got the flick. Im no Henry fan an I havnt been since the day he took the reigns!!! When I found out Deans was not considered I was like W.T.F. They can get rid of John Mitchell when we lost the semi but can;t get rid of Henry when we cant even make the semi's... But c'mon whos going to take his place? Jake White was one answer... You are kidding me right? The NZRU will not even  look at it that, An outsiders Coaching the All Blacks. Yeah righto!! NZRU have got to take some of the blame too. They gotta Pull there heads outta their arses an do sumfin about it..

As for that game last night. Well what can I say.....Bullshit!!! I have never seen a team make so many Handling mistakes even in the wettest of wet conditions. They gotta pull finger this week coz they are staring down the barrel of a third straight loss....

Cmon deans stick it up the NZRU!!!
