Weepu and Nonu managed to breach the Hurricanes no dickheads policy yet satisfy the All Blacks in the same season. Hore managed to be in the leadership group for the ABs and a dickhead at Super Rugby level simultaneously.
Who judged them to be dickheads though?....The fern's favorite coach?

well well well
can we finally get rid of that oh so fucking smug "better people make better All Blacks" bullshit they still try to peddle.
because it's very fucking clear that the only thing that matters is how well you can play. and you know what, a part of me actually respects that.
I keep waiting for the time that people stop worshipping people who happen to be good at sport. It's never going to happen.
Has Foster and his team recently said that though?
Edit: Ok I saw the below and went, at least nepotism is alive and well.""It's been a tough time for him personally," Foster says.
"He's gone through a process, both with the courts and New Zealand. They've come up with a conclusion that, as far as we're concerned, he's shown a good attitude as [to] how he's dealt with that.
"I know he's incredibly remorseful for that, and it's not something that any of us want.
"We're just going to keep working with him, and support him. He's still a family member for us."

So what does the new schedule mean for Frizell?
SANZAAR confirm schedule for Rugby Championship
SANZAAR has confirmed the Rugby Championship schedule, with the tournament set to be played in Queensland.
His hearing is on September 21.
He can't pop back from Australia for a couple of days. Are court hearings still happening under lockdown? Can he be remote? Does he get special treatment and get the hearing delayed? Does he miss the tour?
-
it would be common sense to not take him, use his hearing as the reason to give him a break from the abs....will start

Pretty sure that many court hearings are postponed. Also reduces the risk of the virus getting into prisons which would be a nightmare to manage.
Maybe he's not allowed to leave the country?
Quite possible

See as he has been found wanting anyway, seems like a good opportunity to look at the northland ginger.
I've very uncomfortable with the lack of consequences he's facing for knocking out a woman's teeth. Assuming he gets diversion here from the courts.
At the very least the ABs should make it clear (can't believe I have to type this) that hitting woman is wrong.

Ah fuck this fluffybunny. Just like Sevu. I just wish our All Blacks wouldn't assault people. Fucking disgraceful. I'm fine with rehabilitation for people who do these things but people like this shouldn't be public figures and representing our nation.
have to say, when i was at uni in dunners most people that used their diversions did so for things like taking a piss somewhere a little too public or in one case nicking all the pool balls from a pub, maybe pinching a road sign...not so much fighting let alone hitting a woman
Flatmate of mine got diversion, but the summary of facts was a great read. He was arrested in town after an Otago v Canterbury rugby game for offensive behaviour or similar for pulling a brown eye in the street. The SoF went something like: "Mr (Smudge's flatmate) then proceeded to drop his trousers and bend over, part his cheeks and say "kiss this, Canterbury".

It was in place in Henry's era, its why they never looked at Hika Reid for example.
Ted also picked a Highlanders loose forward who had been before the courts on similar charges that were public.
You mean the one who whose case didn't even go to trial because the evidence didn't stack up?

Didn't his partner refuse to testify look or recanted their story? Not sure if that is looked at the same way these days.
If Frizzell completes diversion he won't go to trial either right? The alleged facts are clearly worse in this case.
I'm not trying to say these two alleged incidents are the same. It was a response to the "better people make better ABs" comment under Ted when you had players getting picked with similar charges, several of whom benefitted name suppression.

The Henry reign started off bumpy and they evolved to that better standard. Tana was also involved in sorting out the player leadership.
There is definitely a difference from Hanson and Fozzie’s era to Ted’s and not all for the better.

But what is the difference?
I think we might be talking about different things here?
The culture within the AB camp was clearly better under Ted after the 2004 3N and the first half of Hansen's tenure.
The "better people" moniker is all I'm pointing out. Even during that 2008-2011 cycle you had reasonably senior ABs getting DUIs and drunk in public arrests with regularity - they just did it all while on Super Rugby duty and those with domestic violence issues had name suppression. It does seem like there is less of that nowadays?

One can never believe what one reads on the internet but this does have a ring of truth to it..

Overzealous guests at the same motel called the police, the partner never made an accusation at all.
