Will Dillon Halaholo be the first topic on N.Z Rugby’s new ‘Cultural Change’ panel’s agenda?

As if an attempted rape charge wasn’t enough for a N.Z Rugby to handle in the one-day. 

We now hear that Southland Stags rugby player Dillon Halaholo was sentenced to 18 months' intensive supervision after admitting three charges of masturbating in a public place, twice in front of young girls. 

How young? 

Just 6, 9 and 10.  

What a sick fucker.  

Congratulations to the Invercargill judge in this case, Christina Cook, who weighed-up the victim’s rights versus that of a dirty sex fiend that got his jolly’s from wanking in front of kids.  

Dillon Halaholo’s lawyers attempt to play the ‘it will harm his career and travel prospects’ were rejected. 

Good thing too, long overdue.   

Coincidentally today – the same day we have two sexual abuse cases in the news – we hear flimflam emanating from N.Z Rugby H.Q that they are setting-up a cultural change panel.  

This tokenistic panel will include women, probably after they’ve got their gears off and done the dishes. 

In particular this panel will be looking at the sport's attitude toward women. 

You can’t make this sort of shit up.  

 

Can't they read todays headlines?

 

Rugby player convicted for indecent acts

 

NZR aware of Mid Canterbury rugby player on rape charge

 

We already know the attitude.

 

It's one of contempt, zero respect. 

 

I mean far be it for N.Z Rugby to let a bimbo actually get on the NZR Board.  

If they are looking for panel members what about asking the mothers of the kids from Southland?

 

I'm sure they would be keen to have their say.

Rugby’s image in N.Z is now in tatters but that won’t change a thing

Being the biggest ape in the jungle rugby followers in New Zealand have a supercilious, contemptuous view of rival football codes.   

Soccer is for poofters. 

League is for inhabitants of State Houses.  

So where are the high-profile soccer players facing charges of intent to rape guys? 

Refer latest report about a Mid Canterbury rugby player.  

There are heaps of soccer players plying their trade overseas. 

Surely some of them get up-to mischief? 

Evidently not. 

Certainly not to the level of rugby players in N.Z.   

Rugby’s image is now in tatters, going down the tubes sordid incident by sordid incident.  

The public is finally waking-up to the high rates of criminality associated with rugby in New Zealand. 

This site is littered with them.  

Of course there will always be an element of Kiwis who will defend the indefensible. 

Most of them are buffoons and gravitate to fellow buffoons for solace. 

The more-staunch ones join rugby-club committees.   

They honestly don’t care as long as the precious All Blacks keep winning and it’s not their daughter or son assaulted by a profile rugby player.    

The sports image is paramount. 

The victims are just collateral, worthy only of token apologies.    

Rugby buffoons chortle away and run-down sports like League whilst ignoring the bleeding obvious.  

Rugby culture is to blame for the issues the sport faces. 

Other sports don’t have these problems to the same degree.   

And there’s no way that’s going to change under the current regime, regardless of what the public think.

 

Aaron Smith Spreads the All Black Kulture all up the toilet wall

For the record what Aaron Smith gets up-to in his own time is his own business. 

He only has to answer to himself and his family for his conduct.  

But this loo-shagging incident wasn’t on his watch. 

He was representing his sport at the time. 

 

In the public domain.

Yet again (starts to yawn, think about grabbing a coffee) All Black management were questioned about this incident before it became more than internet gossip and they did what they normally do: wait and hope it goes away. 

This all took place on September the 18^th after-all.  

 

Half if not all the team knew what went on within minutes.   

Kiwi’s hear ad nauseum about The All Black culture as if it was something to aspire to. 

This team is world-beaters, not because rugby is secondary sport in many countries, but because of this special culture.    

Well Aaron Smith is currently doing a brilliant job of spreading this culture globally.

 

Still, it can't be said that Aaron isn't one not to spread his love.

Is it time to boycott Wellington Rugby's Sponsors?

If the Losi Filipo case disturbs you as much as it does me.

There is an avenue to show your displeasure.

These are Wellington Rugby's Sponsors:

STONEWOOD HOMES
RUTHERFORD & BOND TOYOTA
BLK CLOTHING
TUI BEER
VALENTINES PETONE
THE GREEN MAN
RYDGES HOTELS
RADIO SPORT
SUPERCOLOUR
VODAFONE
MP MUSCLE PHARM
LES MILLS
POWERADE
RYOS
VICTORIA UNIVERSITY
THE DOMINION POST

Wellington Rugby still have the chance to cut this street thug loose. 

Do what they should have done when the case first came to light, Filipo admitted his role.

Till then it's up to the public to make discerning consumer decisions based on what they feel is the right thing to do.

Read what the mothers of Filipo's victims have to say.

"The horrific state of how they were left - they were left for dead,"

"Goodness knows what if the police hadn't intervened - I don't think our children would be alive today."

"The severity of the concussion could have long-term effects. He could easily have the early onset of Alzheimer's, and that kind of thing. This is huge. This isn't just a minor punch." 

I wiped Radio Sport from my pre-sets about an hour ago.

PS: There's going to be a protest outside the next home game on Friday night (30th Sept) Details are on Facebook apparently. I hope they get a decent turn-out.   

The Losi Filipo Case makes me sick

Go on admit it. 

The two tares are firmly established.

Rugby stars and other Joe Bloggs.   

Why dare and highlight something that all N.Zers know is the truth?  

Most Kiwis are happy to sweep this under the carpet as long as it’s not them or their mates/family that’s on the receiving end.   

I’m talking about rugby ‘stars’ like scum-bag Wellington Lions player Losi Filipo.  

It is unquestionable that (a.) High profile rugby players in N.Z are involved in a disproportionate level of criminality versus the same demographic. Just check out the pages of this blog which is by no means the definitive list. (b.) High profile rugby players in N.Z get lighter sentences when they appear in court using the ‘defence’ a conviction would affect a career in rugby.

So even if you plead guilty to: 

·         Assault with intent to injure

·         Two counts of male assaults female

·         Injures with intent to injure

All crimes which carry prison sentences - you’ll likely get discharged without conviction.  

This site is littered with similar cases. 

The Filipo case is no aberration.  

To quote the judge the street thug “(Filipo)Should be able to fulfil his potential” 

Fuck the innocent parties.  

Filipo’s rugby career comes before the justice society, via the Police, sort and deserved.  

In a sad irony one of the innocent victims, Greg Morgan, was a rugby player himself, required 8 months off work after the vicious unprovoked attack.
 

Morgan was left high & dry by Wellington Rugby Union despite the fact he can no longer play contact sport again.

The Wellington Rugby Union instead backed 'their' man, giving him a reference.  

As did the Upper Hutt Major Wayne Guppy!

Guppy and Wellington Rugby Chief Executive Steve Rogers clearly don't 'give a rats' that one of Filipos female victims requires plastic surgery.

Nor does Filipo apparently care.

Other than manufactured apologies.

To quote Stuff:

Hayden Williams, 22, another of Filipo's victims, saw the rugby player about a week after the court case while standing outside a bar in Wellington.

"He walked passed me and I asked him if he was still punching girls," says Williams. "He signalled out to his friends and two of them came over and yelled at me asking for a fight.

"Losi was laughing at me and kept saying he'd been through court. I felt like he was laughing that he'd been through court and got off."

Welcome to the N.Z (In)Justice system.

 

The Police must appeal.

 

Filipo needs to go behind bars. 

 

 

Former Maori & Junior All Black found guilty after SFO investigation

Former Junior & Maori All Black Matene Love pleaded guilty to one charge under Section 4 of the Secret Commissions Act back on September 21 last year. 

The reason why this charge, and his sentencing to six months' home detention, has only just surfaced is his father Sir Ngatata Love is currently up for similar charges.  

Love junior accepting a secret commission from the same developer linked to his old man who is about to stand trial for defrauding the iwi his once was the leader of. 

One presumes Matene no longer runs Maori business programme at Victoria University. 

During the same period of his SFO investigation Love Jnr was the Rugby Development Office at Palmerston North Boys High.   

Rugby Clubs and Schools love (pun intended) to laud the ‘exploits’ of their old-boys. 

I’m more than happy to ‘put up in lights’ Matene Love also has links to: Manawatu, N.Z Maoris, Wanganui and let’s not forget Palmerston North HSOB for good measure.  

They too can be proud.

Homophobic Slurs – A Normal Day in N.Z Rugby

Rugby is possibly the world’s most homophobic sport. 

Most certainly the most homophobic sport in N.Z.   

Little wonder the number of known gay All Blacks sits at zero. 

Little wonder to read reports of homophobic slurs coming out of the mouths of leading players. 

Probably not even newsworthy given it’s the norm in Michael Allardice’s sporting circles. 

 

It's great the mainstream press is giving him stick but in reality it won't change rugby 'kulture' in New Zealand.
