@FakatavaFuture
2019 - 6 wins 5 losses
2020 - 4 wins 6 losses
2021 - 5 wins 5 lossesIn 3 seasons they have not been able to out perform a coin toss (15 wins 16 losses)
The fact that there are teams like Southland that are essentially amateur makes it even worse
It also highlights how great of a coach Razor was for Canterbury.

They were winning championships immediately before Roberston and immediately after Robertson. In fact, the only Championship they didn't win between 2008 & 2017 was one of the years Roberston was coach

@Chris Here's the media release:

@Chris Craig Dunlea i think he was mid canterbury coach a few years back & wow Canterbury's favorite underated son Matt Todd joining the coaching team can only be good news
Matt Todd was seriously good. Not Marty Holah good, but a damn good player

The hope is he's another Razor, the worry is he's one of the other type of promoted ex player who flops as a coach.
Mock XV. Williams, Mcclaister, Jager, Romano, Gallagher, Harmon, Christie, Grace, Drummond, Burke, George Bridge, Poihipi, Ennor, Mataele, Fihaki
Canterbury to Rise again!!
@FakatavaAllBlack That should be a pretty good team, epsecially with another ball carrier in the loose forwards. Is Henry Stowers available again?

He’s back playing in Wellington so I’m wondering if he’s signed for the Lions. We are in need of a number 8/6

Jason and Scott Pawson. Are they the Pawsons that played cricket for Shirley? I think Jason played the odd game for Canterbury. If so, I never picked them as rugby coaches/players!

Thanks mate. Played cricket with them for a few years and had no idea they played rugby. Guess I need to take more interest in the lives of others.
