I agree, but if he called the sister a caring understanding nineties type...
At the risk of judging her by the actions of her siblings...

Rebels suspend rookie duo over fresh allegations
UPDATED: The Melbourne Rebels have suspended two players indefinitely after were involved in an incident that left a man hospitalised with serious injuries.
Rookies Hunter Paisami and Pone Faamausili have both admitted their involvement in a late-night conflict after being accused of seriously injuring another man, and the Rebels have stood the pair down for the time being.
Faamausili has provided a statement to police on Sunday over the alleged incident but no charges have been laid and the duo have also spoken to Rebels CEO Baden Stephenson and team manager Tony Thorpe about the incident.
Paisami is yet to provide a statement to police.
Faamausili made his Rebels debut this season and recently signed a new deal with the club, taking him through to 2020, while Paisami is yet to make his Super Rugby debut.
The allegations came to light on Sunday via social media, with the sister of the alleged victim accusing the two Rebels players of a coward punch that left her brother in hospital.
There are believed to be conflicting accounts of the incident, though they are taking the situation very seriously in light of recent events.
Rebels no. 8 Amanaki Mafi was arrested in New Zealand last weekend and charged with injuring with intent to injure teammate Lopeti Timani.
Any formal club punishments will not be handed down by the Rebels until the police investigation is complete.
Rugby Australia is also aware of the accusations.

as good a place as any...
I mean as long as Gosper can use his twitter account to get people banned, why do we need a TMO anyway?

@taniwharugby Gosper in the photo for that article looks like he is trying to sell me a shit car. How apt.

"We have to be able to move quite quickly to get to a better place.
"I just can’t define what that better place is right now because a lot of minds will get involved in that process."I can define that 'better place', it may involve a viewer button that is linked to an electric chair for George Ayoub

NZ squads need to find a total of 15 SR quality 10's. The bottom third of that list doesn't look great..
Gatland might develop but he looks limited. Ioane probably spooked the Highlanders coaches with that recent shocker at fullbackThey could hope another one turns up in the NPC
Why would Quade do it? I thought his really expensive contract continues until the end of next season? Is that over? If he wants to make the RWC his best option would be moving to the Rebels or Brumbies.

@canefan Wouldn't be a bad choice, considering the lack of good first five-eighths in NZ. I've been impressed with his attitude since he was snubbed by Thorne. From what I've seen and heard, he has been training hard, not only trying to play as well as possible for his local club team but also helping his club team mates getting better. Not sulking.

That is a weird article - it starts off by insinuating a deal is in the works but then instead of elaborating on that it moves to why it would make sense.
Fake news?
