Has anyone on the Shirley Rugby Club Committee heard of Social Media or even got a Calendar?

A quick ‘google’ shows embezzlement is riff of late amongst South Island recreational sporting entities. 

Eric Lee recently had his grubby fingers dipping into the Queenstown Bowling Club. 

Tania Lind did the same to The Sunset Speedway in Westport.  

Now we’ve learned in today’s The Christchurch Press, Howard Morel has been diddling The Shirley Rugby Club. 

The difference between these three cases is when the funds were found to be missing the bowling club & the West Coast speedway correctly took their concerns to the police. 

But, not the Shirley Rugby Club. 

Oh, no.   

In a hark-back to the days of ‘what happens on tour, stays on tour’ The Shirley Rugby Club thought they could keep fraud of this scale ($200,000) their hush-hush deal quite.  

Un-bloody-believable.  

Make no bones about it The Shirly Rugby Club are the victims of a criminal undertaking. 

 

Betrayal on a massive scale from a life member. 

They deserve restitution and Howard Morel his day in court.

A serious crime has occurred here.

Were three teens to break-in & trash the Shirley Clubrooms and one was found to be a member of the club, would the committee tell the Police just to investigate the other two? 
 

Even when the ‘cat was out of the bag’ The Christchurch Press knew the frame-work of the crime, deal struck & they were about to publish the details -  they still naively tried to obfuscate.

“He’s (Morel) away on leave of absence.” 

Like fuck! 

Can they see how this smoke-screen looks to an outsider?

The Shirley Rugby Club Committee handling of this affair have made laughing-stocks of their club and showed yet-again that N.Z Rugby Clubs function in a decades-old bubble. 

It’s 1977 down in their patch, disco is in its hey-day, long side-burns are in.  

 

All Black Hot-Head Allegedly Starts Brawl and then Scarpers.

Malakai Fekitoa admits he has anger management issues. 

Yet, he wants us to believe he didn’t start a fight at a Seven’s tournament back in his own stomping ground over Christmas. 

 

Writer makes 'ah-hmm' noise as if removing something from his throat.

Then if reports are correct does a runner and blames it on petty jealousy. 

I know who I believe. 

The locals.    

 

Footnote: Great start to the year guys. Two articles in two weeks and the season hasn’t even begun.

N.Z Rugby should start an enquiry to get to the bottom of this. Oh that’s right - they have. Not that you’d know it. It's looking like a bumper year for me.

Chiefs Players trash talk Traffic Wardens

 

Imagine if you went up to the daughter, sister or wife of a Chiefs player going about their job and called them cunts, useless and lazy?

 

What would you expect to happen if they heard you? 

Well more than what happened to a group of Chiefs players that allegedly used the same profanities to two female Hamilton traffic wardens, after getting ticketed.   

N.Z Rugby’s Respect & Responsibility Initiative is a farce.

 

Those Chiefs players that gobbed-off at the traffic wardens and this ever-burgeoning blog being a living testament to this.
