Blues and NZRFU Cover-up Peter Saili Incident

A new Super 15 is almost upon us and yet, at this 11^th hour The Blues have terminated the contract of Peter Saili. 

He’s off to play in France. 

Why? 

Because he’s chasing big money doesn’t cut the mustard.  

There was an ‘off-field’ incident according to The Sunday News (18^th Jan)   

So what was this incident The Blues/NZRFU are sweeping under the carpet?  

The real reason Peter Saili is departing our shores? 

Nothing to do with a household appliance being wrapped around a young teen, one surmises?

Auckland Blues Player being investigated……yet again

The N.Z Herald is  reporting Peter Saili is alleged to have beaten a 13-year-old boy whom he caught burgling his home, to the point he needed to be hospitalised for four days. A vacuum cleaner pipe was allegedly employed by the number eight. 

His bro(ther) Frances got caught driving whilst disqualified in 2012 and only last month fellow Blues player Tevita Li admitted drink driving.   

Peter Saili joins a growing list of Blues players involved with assaults, police investigations there into.

They are of course just young men doing what young men do. 

Which apparently, in rugby circles at least, involves getting into a spot of trouble with the law.  

Naturally home-town hero Sir John will sort them out. 

He’s making he great job so far of maintaining discipline off the field…..NOT!
