Better Rugby Rules

NZRU CEO Mr Steve ‘Teflon’  Tew.
The face  of taking one up the rear end.

Thanks for effort, time for NEW BLOOD !

– Survived World Cup disaster 2003
– Re appointed failed RWC 2007 coaches (Henry, Hanson, Smith)
– 3 Failed attempts to restructure the NPC.
– Allowed Dan Cater sabbatical, that resulted in an injury of six months.
– Created ‘rugby for cash’ in Honk Kong, Japan, etc.
– Having ELV statistics forever and still getting it wrong.
– Created a $2 mil p.a higher performance department that did, WHAT !

Sure we have the RWC 2011, that’s nice!  Mr Tew has been a part of the NZRU club for too long, so I believe its time for new blood !

Or maybe the $500,000 salary is way too nice to let go ! Not to mention the rugby donuts from around the world.

UPDATE: Tew has a sense of humor..

..”For now, its more of the same and Tew brought some reality to that when he said: “Can the four who were in danger of going down survive in the long term? That’s up to them. They have said yes, their fans want that opportunity. They have now got it and good luck to them. I will go back to Manawatu and have my ham sandwich again and get caught on camera. Bring on the Bucketheads!”…

So Tew has more life, it seams,…
