I hope the inquiry does take a close look at Heraf's accusation re commitment etc. While he seems to be a cock, a comment today about there being no guarantee the players will come back makes me a little uneasy about the team culture anyway.

Really? The issue at NZF clearly runs far deeper than Heraf, given Martin is gone as a result as well. I'm betting there's more than just those 2 men that existed as factors contributing the issues that have arisen as well. Why would they come back before they are sure these issues are resolved?

I'd be more worried about the team culture if they all jumped back in before knowing who the new coach is, that would make it look far more like a hit job on Heraf. 

It was though, wasn't it? why hadn't the problems presented themselves before he came involved?

Seemed more like a deep cultural issue at NZF coming to the fore to me. The problems have been around a long, long time, the Football Ferns issue is just one of the symptoms. They've lost faith in the governing body and who can blame them?
