Parore has axes to grind where most people are concerned, it always seems to me.

Particularly former team-mates.

No, I don't think so. Parore is in this instance nothing more than a talkback radio caller who's got an audience because he's a former player. He's simply espousing a point of view beloved to those who are big on talking but low on ideas. I listened to him being interviewed on Radio Sport this morning and one of the first things he said was "I've got no problems with Fleming's tactics or strategy". Hello???

He went on to add that he feels Fleming needs replacing because he's been in the job for 12 years, ie. change for the sake of change, or change because it's easily done and makes it appear as if something is being done.

Although I feel Fleming's innings in Brisbane was a tactical blunder (and we have no way of knowing whose idea that was) that cost us the game, I still think he's the man for the job. Get rid of Bracewell, get rid of a lot of our problems, IMO.
