If there was ever a time for Tana Umaga to deliver some long overdue joy to supporters of the Blues then it should be tonight.
His team has nothing left to lose at Brookvale Oval, a famous Sydney NRL ground. The Blues have banked two wins from nine games in yet another dreadful Super Rugby season.
They are playing in Sydney against a team dealing with their own demons. The Australian sides have a forlorn record against New Zealand teams and the Waratahs, tonight's opposition, start the game after a fair old hammering at the hands of a South African outfit.
The Sydney team has been distracted by Israel Folau's unpleasant social media burblings and the unruly nightclub antics of one of their other stars.
So Umaga's Blues have been handed a gold-plated chance to show some steel and put an end to weeks of misery.
The coach, by his own admission, is not a big sleeper and gets by on six or fewer hours a night. But then Blues' fans may be worn out at this point in the season from sleepless nights wondering when their once-unbeatable franchise would turn things around.
They will be hoping, praying and pleading for a change of fortune in Sydney. Then we could all get some extra rest.
