    @Stargazer The Highlanders are not the first and won't be the last professional Rugby team to go on the booze in Queenstown. At least there was no Dwarf-Throwing.

    So seven rugby players try to stimulate the struggling local economy by injecting some much needed revenue into local establishments and they get painted as bad guys. Typical fake news media.

    So I was out in Qtn one night a number of years ago, midweek, and several of the Highlanders of the time were out and getting stuck in. But when it was starting to get messy, Jamie Mackintosh took them away. Like any situation like that, a group needs senior management be they players or actual managers in a business sense, who can see when enough is enough and control things. I bet they didn't have that person who could keep a lid on it. And if they did, they need their fucking ass kicked.

    it was Aaron Smith who was supposed to be in charge. But he went to the toilet, and took too long to come back

    @canefan I guess I'll not be too demanding and settle for just Liz...

    After the first 5 minutes of the sandwich you could just sit back and watch

    Steady on. It's not a fucking marathon.

    id only be real mad if we spent a fortune on him, give his situation and his late signing im hoping we picked him up on the cheap on a gamble and given our either lack or green x factor out wide i dont blame them too much

    @Kiwiwomble would have much preferred they gambled on someone who at least had a chance to show something.

    Everyone knew it was a shit signing, everyone pointed and laughed... except those in charge at the Highlanders.

    Heck even getting a loan of Jonah Lowe would have been better.

    @Bones you honestly believe they signed him knowing full well there was zero change he would make it onto the field?

    @Kiwiwomble I hope they signed him thinking there was every chance he'd hardly even make the field and really wouldn't add much if he did.

    If everyone else can see it, how moronic would they have to be to not see it? The kind of moronic which doesn't select Walden and thinks Ioane is a 12.

    I'm not sure what part of perfect English you're struggling with...

    No, otherwise I would've said that...
