Breakers GM tipped to run Auckland Blues

The Auckland Blues want the New Zealand Breakers GM Richard Clark to run the Super Rugby Teams Franchise and he has apparently notified the Breakers Owners of his interest in this new role.

He has been with the Breakers for over a decade and is on paper the top Franchise Manager in New Zealand Sport with a great track record especially surrounding off court drama's with player sackings and suspensions for alcohol and drug use. He also helped recruit star signings such as CJ Bruton & Kirk Penney and presided over Andrej Lemanis's tenure.

The Breakers are now considered the bench mark for all sporting franchises in New Zealand.

With 3 titles in the bag and the youth development academy producing young talent for the clubs future I guess he feels he may be ready to move on to new challenges.

New coach, new GM, player rollover...

Looks like there may be a chance for one of the other 7 clubs to jag a title whist New Zealand regroups ;)

I think NZ will stay fairly strong as the coach is hardly fresh to the program and a GM is probably not as crucial a piece. Perth is the team facing a bit more of a reset IMO - lost head coach and assistant, plus import.

Might be a position that someone like Dillon Boucher may be interested in or someone who is not involved in Basketball at all but experienced in running and promoting a large business.
Either way whoever it is has a big pair of shoes to fill.

I will be very happy to see a finals series that is not Cats vs Breakers!

Yep, that would make a good SF matchup but it's def time for someone else in the GF!
