After eight years in the job, outgoing Bay of Plenty cricketing manager Mark Webb is leaving the best possible way - on top.
That sits well with Samoan Cricket's new general manager, who rates the current crop of Bay players highly.
"It's a good time to leave," said Webb.
"I think it's the most exciting the team's been for a while.
"I think we might lose a lot of these players to first class cricket - Joe Carter, Bharat Popli, Brett Hampton (who has an ND contract). These are all guys who should be playing first class cricket now."
