@Yeetyaah Gee I’m not so sure, the nature of the offence could be a telling factor..it’s not gonna be a good look if for instance he gets some sort of suspended or supervised sentence.

Nothing good ever happens when out on the town after midnight little alone 3am in the morning..!

You clearly didn't know some of the girls I did when in my teens.

Don't the courts have a rugby player clause / precedent to let him off these days?

[Stargazer]

@Snowy Uhm, not anymore since Losi Filipo?

[Snowy]

@Stargazer Exception rather than rule?

[Yeetyaah]

Either way, I hope in this case, as he isn't too established as a rugby player, NZR promptly terminate his contract if he's found guilty. I thought I was okay with Reece as everyone deserves a chance to better themselves but I've since decided his rapid rise doesn't sit well with me. Won't go further into that as this isn't the thread for it.

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah I don't think he's contracted to NZR; only to Southland.

Edit: maybe he still has a development contract with the Highlanders.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer He has a Highlanders dev contract with him joining the full squad next year.

[Stargazer]

Anyway. we have to wait and see what the outcome of the trial is. No point in speculating.

Might as well close this place down then

[Stargazer]

@Machpants I think there's a difference between speculating about sports/games etc and cases to be heard by the courts, judicial bodies etc.

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer we comment on judicial hearings in rugby, thats like a Kangaroo court!

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby No, procedures before judicial bodies (in rugby) aren't like Kangaroo courts. A lot of people just don't understand the procedures, the rules and/or how they are applied. That's fine, by the way, but that statement is incorrect.

Hawke's Bay Magpies Head Coach Mark Ozich and Assistant Coach Josh Syms have re-signed with the Hawke's Bay RU for 2020 and 2021!

I like how the photo is them drinking beer at the pub, not on the training field or anywhere official

I thought they all got burnt, or damn well should have, years ago.

[Nepia]

@mikedogz $280. WTF!

[Chris B.]

@Nepia Look at the bid history. Nepia aka Jimmysincs?

He badly wants it!

I've still got a Vikings-Nelson Bays programme. Longest time I've spent in Palmerston North, that afternoon!

That's how much I'd let them pay me to take it off their hands.

You've spent enough time in Palmy now last a lifetime.
