Vukona at odds with NZ ownership

Whilst the old owners had a very local-first, NZ loyal approach, the new owners are obviously more strictly commercial.

A new approach and intent but not necessarily an unreasonable one and not unexpected for overseas based owners to have that view.

Cant blame them for their views on Henare doubling duties.

Hopefully the new approach doesnt hinder continued development through the Academy.

I think if you read about Matt Walsh he believes in going out on top. I think Kirk Penney accepted the message, but Vukona is clinging on.

Regarding Henare, I don’t believe the new ownership want the coach to split time between the Tall Blacks and the Breakers.

By at odds he probably meant that the new ownership group wasn't willing to fork out a ton of cash for a veteran player on a fast downward trajectory nor build their team around said player.

The new ownership I assume.
