@Tim text messages between Aaron Smith and the toilet bird have leaked to the press - the texts are not a good look for Aaron Smith/nzru
Not a good look for Smith - definitely. If those messages are really written by him - he's not the sharpest of attacking weapons.
NZRU seems to come out of it fine - it's more that he deliberately misled them along with everybody else.
News released on Wednesday, just in time for it to become a big thing before team-naming... nicely done. -
Revealed leak source TJ Perenara.....

@Crucial Possibly, but I've seen the original story in the Daily Mail Australia. I find the response to the author's tweet with the link to the article a bit weird. Look at the profiles of some of them: (ex)journos from NZ Herald. Also look at who retweeted and liked that tweet.

One of the tweets says she shopped the story around in NZ and it was passed over. So she went to Oz next.
Anyway, if AS is distracted I have no issue with TJP starting and TKB on bench.
Yep - he's got to be majorly distracted. Can't start him this week, surely.
Woman scorned, plus shitty tabloid newspapers... he's got no chance. And only himself to blame. -

@Crucial Yep - although I think that's the line of discussion I think @Stargazer was hoping would be directed at that original thread.
For this thread - I think the main pertinent point is... Aaron Smith not likely to be playing this weekend, or quite possibly for a few weeks.

Rumoured team from a guy on reddit who claims he knows someone in the AB camp...
"Dagg injured, Mckenzie at full back, Ben Smith and Rieko on the wings. SBW and Crotty. Read, Cane and Squire in the loose. The rest of the squad the same as BIL series. Dan Coles out for the series
"So that guy is Fitzy.
Whoever it was he nailed it!

@Kruse he's been named to start.
The fact it has taken this long to come out, via the Daily Mail is odd, not to mention Smith copped a lot of shit too, should he be taking legal action too....no because he took it all, was hung by social media jury, hell many thought he should not play for the abs again.
How is that different? Maybe if she had come out at the time, people wouldn't have been talking about an unknown woman, which is easier for people to trash talk someone who has no name, although social media doesn't care I guess, but at least then names are put to these people who trash talk.

"This reddit bloke was well informed about Bledisloe 1 team. Any news on Coles for series?

Firstly, he shouldn't be in counselling or whatever, he should be in fucking night school. Long time since I've seen such shocking spelling.
Secondly, what the fuck is with this story? What possible gain could there be to bring this up so long after the fact? I have some sympathy for Smith, even though he did a truly shitty thing to his partner with this trailer trash, the subsequent consequences and public castigating were way, way out of proportion to the offence. And now, the poor partner has to deal with all this again. My full sympathy is with her, and also with NZR, who will no doubt be livid that this is making headlines again when they are building up to a big game.
Fuck Seven Sharp etc here who are breathing life into this. There is zero in the public interest factor.
