This is an utter disgrace.
1: Declan might well not last long at Ole and if it were me running the shop, I'd jettison him as soon as I could for his 'professionalism'. At least he has guaranteed he will never coach a team in NZ again
2: What are these players thinking? The players that left are marginal at best but they have ensured they won't play in NZF teams because they have just shown no commitment. Very unlikely that any coach picks them in the future, unless they have turned into gun footballers.
At least it did show that Declan only used Waikato for his own personal reasons.
