Former All Blacks Player & Coach’s business going down the gurgler

The report on the state of Dunedinite Laurie Mains company Clan Construction is in today’s OTD. 

READ 

He owns 70 per cent and is the sole director, the buck stops with him. 

His protestations he has nothing to do with the company “I’ve had nothing to do with the business” clearly don’t wash with the creditors, nor myself.      

Mains is the Godfather of the sport of rugby in the region.  

Mains is a recipient of an Order of Merit for Services to Rugby. 

That will mean little to the small businesses compromised by the actions of his company.  

If he had any integrity he’ll dip into his own pocket and ‘do the right thing’.  

Clearly just joking on that last one.   

 

The vast majority of folk in Otago will still fawn over him.   

 

Rape Conviction no barrier to representing New Zealand in Rugby

Subsequent, to being found not-guilty of a rape that was said to have occurred in 2016, it has been revealed Deaf Rugby Representative, Christian Grey was convicted in 2009 of the very same crime. 

Grey’s extensive record also includes: drugs, burglary and dishonesty.  

 

 

Leading one to wonder, what barriers/vetting are done by N.Z Rugby Officials when it comes to being selected to represent your country?   

Short answer to that curly one, appears to be = none! 

But don’t let a trivial case of a convicted rapist being able to represent N.Z in Rugby place doubt on the integrity of the organisation that sees itself as above all other N.Z codes. 

The sport that purportedly believes in respect and responsibility.

Unicorns as well.  
 

Makes coughing sound, as if to dislodge something stuck in his throat.

Ex Highlanders and Southland Stags player suspended due to alleged cocaine use

 

 

I’m not going to spiel on about John Hardie who has switched allegiances to Scotland. 

Read about his issues with Scottish Rugby officialdom HERE. 

There is however an emerging thread of high cocaine use in professional rugby. 

 

A quick poke-around here will be enough to convince most. 

An issue mainstream media are deliberately ignoring.

 

Note: All individuals are considered innocent till proven otherwise

 

 

Cops unjustifiable target another top ex rugby player

What’s the list of charges against Shane Carter? 

Obstructing police, resisting arrest, male assaults female and assaulting police. 

Still he is a one-time Hurricane, Wellington player and not to mention, coach of the local provisional side. 

Surely there must be some misunderstanding here?  

 

He must have been forced to plead guilty.

We all know there’s no link with violence and rugby in N.Z.  

Read about how the coppers are stitching Shane Carter up, how his wife deserved what she got.

Re-integrated sicko Dylan Halaholo caught wanking in front of kids AGAIN!

I don’t want to waste too much time on this deviate, also known as Dillion Halaholo.  

Read more here.  

I wonder what Kathryn Beck, the chair of the N.Z Rugby Respect & Responsibility Review has to say about Halaholo? 

After-all his cases came-up before her committee recommended a series of ineffectual recommendations.

 

The comments by the chairman of his current club - Suburbs - beggar belief.      

 

Children in his community need to be protected from deviates.

 

That is a clear priority, not getting the best team you can on the paddock, irrespective of their potential to re-offend.     

 

Harm the very community you say you represent. 

 

Would The Suburbs Rugby Club welcome a known sex-offender amongst their midst even if he was just as a supporter attending games, functions?    

 

I think not. 

 

He would have been banned from even stepping on a sporting-ground.   

 

Former Maori All Black captain up for assault & drink-driving

In a case that dates to 2015 Te Rua Tipoki has plead guilty today to assaulting his victim whilst he lay unconscious. 

It came out in court he was also up for drink-driving in 2016 as well. 

What a great leadership role model for Maori youth.     

A proud alumnus of The Blues & Highlanders to boot.

Sordid details are here if you require any more evidence N.Z Rugby has an issue with violence and booze.     

 

This site sits as testament public apathy towards a sport where violence & drunkenness are part of it's very fabric.  

    

Now there’s a 4th Ex All Black in France facing trouble in the same year!

As I’ve said before, if all New Zealanders that visited France acted in the same fashion as our prized AB’s then we’d all be banned!  

We'd be put on the same list as ISIS. 

So far in the same calendar year we've had cocaine possession, accusations of gang rape, slapping the mrs around and now a good ol’ fashioned brawl. 

More about Jason Eaton here.   

 

Is it really necessary to indicate alcohol was involved?

 

Let's just take that as read

 

Just how far through the French penal code book are these ex AB's?
