You have answered my question above...
Momentum.
Hence the Slow plays of Klemmer, the brain sprays of Bateman.
All which disrupt momentum.
So does KPP + Bunty fit the above?
NZ used to do a stack of offloads. Then Kearney came in and focused on completions, making them boring and a spooner team. Bunty doesn't fit Webster's plans, and you have to say with Webster that whatever he is doing is working. Heck NZ performing better without Reece Walsh it's got to be good coaching.
LIkewise KPP. Known for offloads but hasn't done many under O'brien at Newcastle. Has mistakes and errors in his game, although has a high workrate.
So does the hiring of Bunty and KPP and the firing of Bird, et al fit the momentum line?
I think you have a point.
