In his 2nd season he got us to the quarter finals of the European Champs Cup and the Pro14 final. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestly united Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 If Rennie got the Australia job (and would they want someone from NZ coaching them?) it could through up some interesting questions. The RC doesn't start until July, but would assume they would want him in for summer tests but probably not really needed before May - could he stay at Glasgow until the end of the 6N's, then either Toony or one if his assistants (Redpath?) take over until the end of the year. In terms of taking over full time I dont really see any scottish coach holding their hand up, but would rather that than someone from the SH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 What the hell is wrong with that? I can't really get the major seethe either tbh, it's not as if it was a controversial decision, it was as clear a red card as you will ever see. He's been asked to pose for a photo and did so, he can't win, if he tells them to feck off he probably gets slagged all over Twitter too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 With respect I'm not sure about that. In his 1st season he got us to a home play-off in the Pro14. In his 2nd season he got us to the quarter finals of the European Champs Cup and the Pro14 final. He's won nothing. We were on an upwards trajectory when Toony left, he should at least have won something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on an upwards trajectory when Toony left, he should at least have won something. Glasgow finished 6th in Townsend's last season, only scraping into a Champions Cup spot and missing out on the Pro12 playoffs (11 points behind 4th placed Ospreys and 28 points off 1st). People excused that as Glasgow reached the quarter finals of the Champions Cup for the first time, but Rennie managed that whilst still reaching the Pro14 final. Under Rennie, Glasgow have topped their conference twice, finishing with the most points of either conference. I don’t think anyone would argue Leinster weren’t the best side during this time, but Glasgow have still done well. I won’t deny parts of Rennie’s tenure have felt slightly underwhelming but, particularly when you compare the number of quality players who have left Glasgow to the number of poor signings they’ve made in the last 2 years, he’s undeniably done a good job with what he’s got.

The problem with Rennie is we have stood still while he has been in charge. None of his signings have been above meh levels, (not counting Jones and Hastings as Im putting that down to Glasgow being told they were having him.) I cant name anyone that has joined in the last 3 years that has made any sort of impact. The style of play doesn't seemed to have changed from Toonies time either, apart from running more from deep. It looks much less balanced now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support Glasgow to win things, he has won nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestly united Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I think the issue is more that the team peaked with the Pro12 win, and seems to have got no where near the level of the 14/15 team. I just looked back at the team to see who we had lost since then, and the team has changed completely form the one from the final FB15 Stuart Hogg 62'RW14 Tommy SeymourOC13 Richie VernonIC12 Peter HorneLW11 D. T. H. van der Merwe 70'FH10 Finn Russell 66'SH9 Henry PyrgosN88 Josh Strauss (c)OF7 Ryan WilsonBF6 Rob Harley 60'RL5 Jonny GrayLL4 Leone Nakarawa 66'TP3 Rossouw de Klerk 52'HK2 Dougie Hall 62'LP1 Gordon Reid 77'Replacements:HK16 Fraser Brown 62'PR17 Jerry Yanuyanutawa 77'PR18 Jon Welsh 52'LK19 Alastair Kellock 66'FL20 Chris Fusaro 60'SH21 Nikola Matawalu 70'FH22 Duncan Weir 66'WG23 Sean Lamont 62'Coach: Gregor Townsend Hoggs just gone, Vernon left after the final, DTH went and came back, Russells gone, Pyrgos, gone, Strauss went, Nakarawa went (porbably the biggest miss), dont remember de Klerk, Hall retired, Reid left, Big jerry might still be here, Welsh gone, Kellock retired, matawala left and came back, Weir's gone, and Lamont retired thats 15 of the 23 in 5 years We've also lost Dunbar, Bennett, Eddie, Murchie, McArthur, which is 20 good players (ive not included any of the dross that would have been in the squad at that point. We just have struggled to replace any of these guys Hogg leaves - no replacement but one of hte 7's team gets a run for a few games until he dissapears back to the 7's Nakarawa has never been replaced - Swinson would be first choice with Gray now for 2nd row, but he was 4th choice behind Kellock back then 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snobot Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Bit of revisionism here. Cummings is first choice miles ahead of Swinson now. Our starting centres are better, although to be fair Bennet and Dunbar were actually first choice in 2015. Our first choice and second 9’s are better now. Kebble v Reid? Fagerson v de Klerk? Brown v Hall? Turner / Stewart v MacArthur? Hogg is a generational player so v hard to replace, as is Nakawara, who funnily enough wasn’t always first pick and would often try the miracle ball once too often, but no doubting his display in the final was something else. If we can replace Strauss (I like M Fagerson a lot) and get a better FB we are in a decent place. The fact is the club model is generally not to spend big on big time players, Jones aside who has been disappointing. Last season was the second best year in the history of the club, a one score defeat in final and a European quarter final appearance, unfortunately against the worst possible opponent for us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
