Actually you really do have to wonder about the environment at the Nix. Toxic is quite a strong word but whats happening is not a good look. Its also not a great look when kiwi players want to go elsewhere. There have been quite a turnover off support staff too. Gill admitted that three of them notified they didnt want to continue midseason.
Trouble is potential quality recruits look at the last season and go no thanks, unless its big money.

You'll notice Gill also said a lot of the staff were young-ish so wanting to travel is not unexpected.
Same with kiwi footbalers, if they didnt have ambitions to play outside of NZ then they probably arent that good.
