Canes v Reds
-
<p>out of interest, how late do you have to be before you are really breaking curfew? </p>
-
<p>so the team have an <strong>agreed</strong> time to be back, 22 of the 27 or so on tour make it back on time, but 5 don't, of which are all senior players, what example does that set:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1 - by them by being late</p>
<p>2 - by team management if they choose to dismiss the lateness as a minor discretion?</p> -

<p>It depends on circumstances. But if I was the boss man I would just have a quite word with them. Or better still get someone else to do it. Just say take more care to get back on time. End of story</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Although I do wonder why they have these silly rules. Fair enough the night before a game but most workers are not restricted in this way. Treat workers like children and surprise they behave like children. I know workers though in the UK who are reported for turning up even a few minutes late for work. But they don't also insist they get back home by say 11pm or else you name will be posted on the company intranet as naughty children </p> -

<p>Because they are proven to work. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>These guys aren't turning up to work at a bank (though see how you get on turning up 18 minutes late from lunch there), they are closer to being in the army.</p> -

<p>Listening to Boyd, this was a decision by the team on the flight from Sydney to SA to set the curfews for themselves, he said they dont normally have them, they dont have a alcohol policy either.</p> -
<p>what i heard it wasnt Boyd if that is true, as he didnt hear of it until Thursday...also they said they only had 27 on tour so couldnt do anything about it in SA.</p>

<p>From what i've heard there were members of management also out with the 5 players who returned at the same time as the players. I wonder what their punishment is? </p>

<p>They might have their bottoms smacked. And told to go to their rooms and stay there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>edit or is this allowed now. Whatever the acceptable punishment is for children back in NZ today</p> -

<p>I will see how the season pans out now. But surely we can all agree that Boyd has handled this very minor issue appallingly</p> -

<p>I dont agree...this was a team enforced curfew, so one assumes the team would have discussed penalties for a breach of their curfews/rules, so maybe its the players you need to be criticising not Boyd? </p> -

<p>I don't agree either, for the same reasons as TR</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You sound like Jim Kayes, who has also tweeted multiple times how he doesn't understand there being a curfew & punishment.</p> -
<p>The senior leadership group and the coaches obviously put a curfew in for a reason. I praise Boyd for sticking to his team protocols and I respect his decision. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It doesn't matter who you are. If you break the rules you deserve to be punished accordingly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Too many times in the past there have been players in the Canes that have probably gotten away with such behavior and that is probably why we've always had a "lad" type culture.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I get a sense there is still a bit of that culture remaining in the Canes where guys like Julian Savea and Cory Jane walk around like they own the place.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's where the Canes are different to the likes of the Chiefs, Highlanders and Crusaders in that they lack the discipline off the field which in turn leads to inconsistency on the field.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Whether you like it or not Boyd has done the right thing here. If the Canes are to be taken seriously they need to set high standards and if these standards are broken then punishments like these need to be implemented. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I really hope this minor indiscretion doe not ruin our season because that is not fair on the fans. If you look at the big picture though im sure the players will think twice about their actions. Hopefully they will make the right decisions in the future.</p> -

<p>Judging by your post, me thinks this is a typo...;)</p> -
Agree, if you accept bullshit behaviour then you are going to get a lot of bullshit behaviour. Just ask the Warriors. You set the standards and protocols, if they get broken then you enforce consquences, otherwise why the fuck have them in the first place?<br><br>
The All Blacks could have easily flown Cruden over when he missed his flight, but unsurprisingly they left him at home as they don't tolerate that kind of behaviour. -

<p>The Hurricanes are calling their decision to stand five players down from selection as a "one-out-of-10 offence with a 10-out-of-10 punishment."</p>
<p>Star players Julian and Ardie Savea, Cory Jane and Victor Vito, along with reserve prop Chris Eves, will watch Saturday's Super Rugby clash with the Reds from the Westpac Stadium stands after breaking a team-imposed curfew last week.</p>
<p>The five players are understood to have missed a prescribed curfew by 18 minutes, in Durban last Tuesday. Neither Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd nor captain Dane Coles would say what the curfew was, although Boyd noted that the quintet were back at the team hotel before midnight.</p>

<p>I remember seeing some new All Blacks interviewed in one of their home made videos remarking on how he's always checking his watch and getting to every team function 15 minutes early</p>

<p>Even more, Cruden never missed his flight ,he missed bus to airport, still got to airport in time for flight but was told to go home. You have to have rules!!</p> -
This would never have happened under Hammer.....

On the radio here in Brisbane they couldn't believe their luck. 5 top players, including 3 Allblacks!!! <br><br>
Reckon they'll still get done. I couldn't really care about J Savea and Jane. Savea is still fat and shit and Jane is past it. The other 3 are more important, but the current cattle should be more than good enough.<br><br>
I'm just glad Coles and Barrett are still there.
