I'd never forgive John Hart for the way
00:00:01
that he treated me. You know, he used to
00:00:03
wine and dine me up at his house with
00:00:04
breakfasts and all that and talk about
00:00:06
and blow wind up my ass and then he
00:00:09
sacks me. The way that he [music]
00:00:11
sort of, you know, was grooming Ivan for
00:00:14
the position and I've never spoken about
00:00:16
this before. You know, it was really
00:00:18
hard to take, you know, cuz I put my put
00:00:20
my life into that club for for so many
00:00:22
years. And I remember sitting up there
00:00:23
and I was having a cry in the car, you
00:00:25
know, and you know, and this my
00:00:27
coaching career is over and I talked to
00:00:29
my mate. I gave a call and I talked to
00:00:30
him. He was saying, "Yeah, get your
00:00:31
thoughts together and and come back, you
00:00:34
know, and let's let's really handle this
00:00:35
handle this right, man. You're 35, you
00:00:38
know, like you've you've had a hell of a
00:00:40
run." And I think the way that that exit
00:00:43
strategy worked for me by handling it
00:00:45
correctly is sort of driven things that
00:00:47
have since been really good for me.
00:00:49
Again, I'm I'm never ever going to
00:00:51
regret it. I gave my best crack, you
00:00:53
know, there's like I said about Hardy's,
00:00:55
there's parts of it that I'd I thought
00:00:56
could have been handled better, but
00:00:58
[music] you know,
00:00:59
tell me how many other blokes in New
00:01:00
Zealand have had a chance to coach
00:01:02
Warriors?
