@booboo I wonder from your question if
a. they (the posters you refer to) believe Foster has slapped him with a moist bus ticket or
b. you question whether Foster is actually in charge.. or
c. you don't think this is the remit of the coach...C. Discipline is an employment issue, to be handled by NZR.
Although you could argue that perhaps Foster could impose his own selection policy around "better people etc".

Geez Foster is amazing taking charge of so many roles normally done by NZRU and other staff. The attempts to rubbish him on things he is not really involved in staggers me. Shows how little fans understand.
I hear Foster visited a Wuhan lab too…

@booboo Don't the ABs have a strict no dickhead policy?
I remember GH used to be high on character
Except they picked Sivivatu who hit his wife.
Edit:
And others such as Lauaki who hit a security guard in 2006 and got diversion, then trashed a motel room, then committed DV (after his AB career).
More here including Moala, Nonu (booze), Savea, Weepu (disorderly), Stephen Bachop, and All Black 'X' (permanent suppression).

At any rate, pre- professionalism I expect there woulda been way more drink related ones, fights etc

From the link above:
[NAME SUPPRESSION]: In December 2004, an All Black received a discharge without conviction after pleading guilty to assaulting his wife and was granted permanent name suppression.

I know it old fashioned etc, but I was under the impression until you actually found guilty you were presumed innocent, maybe that was just before internet forums etc
Correct, but he has accepted diversion which you would only do if you think you would be found guilty in a trial. If you think you're guilty, then you probably are!

@dan54 Diversion is a scheme operated by the police that allows first-time offenders to take responsibility for their offending outside the court system and avoid getting a criminal record.
There is typically anger management, reparation payments etc involved instead.

@dan54 said in All Blacks 2021:
@machpants So does he have a conviction against him now? I not sure how diversion etc works.
Nope, that's the point. Stops one fuck up giving you a record, like being drunk and pissing on a police car, as mentioned up thread.
What is diversion?
Diversion is a scheme operated by the police that allows first-time offenders to take responsibility for their offending outside the court system and avoid getting a criminal record. The purpose is to prevent you re-offending and to help you understand your own past behaviour and choices and the impact this had on the victim of your offending.
It is targeted at reparation for the victim and rehabilitation for you. Your rehabilitation conditions might include things like going to an alcohol and drug programme or a violence-prevention course.
If you think you will get off the charge you wouldn't take diversion, or publicly apologised for the harm you've caused, like frizzle did

That's simply not true.
