Given the choice of Tupou or Vainikolo. Big Les anyday for me.

Vainikolo was let go so he could go to rugby union. Tupou was a bit of a rushed replacement who IMO was badly let down by the coaches here.

Les was on his way to rugby union, and Tupou was brought in as his replacement, he was not shipped out to free up cap space, as they were both at the club at the same time.

I heard tonight from a couple of radio commentators after the game, that they believe a Mr Robbie Paul could be on his way back to the bulls in some sort of coaching capacity.

From the same people, Ian Millwards agents are in the country next week as is Graeme Murrary.

Not sure how accurate the commentators are but I thought I'd share.

We will need a miracle to sort this shamble of a team out, hope something comes out of it because i am really losing my patience quickly.

Did you see the shell shocked faces on the staff in the coaches box.

Indeed, I don't think they appreciated the amount of abuse they received during the game regarding backing the current coach etc..
