Rats. Rassie mind games?
Childish antics with players careers and their livelihoods. Ten year ban.

We’ll know tomorrow.

those Stuff guys don't get paid for that do they? Some of those teams would look strange even if they were posted by some of the bigger mentalists on here.
Did two of them really promote Sititi and move Savea to 7?
These long breaks between tests are even messing up the "journos"

That's generous. They write this rubbish without the breaks too.

I find it odd that the journos want mass changes before such a big test. We finally showed some form in that first half against the Argies at Eden Park, let's have some consistency in selection for once and let the same group back up in Jo-burg. If they fail miserably then look at making changes for the next test.
Ellis Park isn't the stage to throw the likes of Proctor and Sititi into the fray, who have had limited minutes so far. I hope the selectors are sensible and we see a similar 23 to what we saw at Eden Park almost two weeks ago.

I'm not surprised "journos" write anything to stay employed.

You know shit is real when you’re not even advocating for Proctor to start
-
@MN5 he'll get his opportunity but throwing him in against South Africa at Ellis Park after only one test would be moronic. Same with Sititi and other young players in the squad. I think in this test we need as much experience on the park as we can get which is why I won't be surprised if Cane gets the nod at 7.

do modern sports journos in NZ much more than minimum wage? I thought it was terribly paid unfortunately. @Smudge any insights?
-
Looks like we won't have to deal with these giants this week.

I know guys who have been around for a good 8-10 years (and in one case more than 20) are still on salaries starting with a 7.
No wonder so many disappear to comms where a starting salary for a comms advisor is potentially $80k or more.

Comms Advisors in the team I work in make around 86k a year, with Senior Advisors on 110k+

I left my last journalism job on about $64k. Three years later, in a senior comms advisor role, I was on $98k. Worlds apart.

Da fuq, that's peanuts. Although TBF, considering the students I used to see when cutting through the journalism dept when I worked at Massey, that's probably a good wicket for them.

Jase Ryan talking up Tupou Vaa'i - absolutely loves him.
Expect to see him starting ahead of Darry.Yep. I don’t think that was ever in doubt with PT unavailable. Hinton putting Darry ahead of him is fantasy stuff.
