    I think I understand... but if anyone can translate, appreciated. What's this about a well known figure of influence?

      If the extract about his nearly sacking from Fozzies book is right then it does not paint Mark in a good light

        WTF. All George did was get lucky. The Warriors were their usual shit self under him early on (with some fucked up recruiting going on), then his coach resigned, and then the one he wanted turned him down, and then he lucked out with Webster and the hype train.

        I'm not saying he has nothing to do with the current Warriors (qualified) success, but he hasn't been the driver of it.

                    I'm finding it difficult to think of anything that does. His idea to invite an Aussie team or two into a NZ competition, the Foster-Razor debacle, private equity..?

                      How Fozzie painted Robinson is exactly how Robinson comes across. Wishy-washy.

                        One of Devlin's better rants. Worth ten minutes.

                        @sparky Robinson and NZ rugby played a part in Devlin going solo. They would not engage with the Devlin anymore so he came to an agree with the station and left.

                              @tomk Odd thing for a CEO and an organisation to do. Be more think-skinned and take the criticism with humility.

                                  I'm hoping it's the year to win ... but likely it's the year to pile on more hate.

                                    I don't know who was more nervous speaking at the AB announcement - Kirk or Robertson.

                                        Might be good to have someone from outside of Rugby but versed in professional sport.

                                        Don't follow cricket much, but from what little I've seen, NZ seems to have it's act together and pretty well run.

                                          David White is former ceo of Auckland rugby, Blues, Wellington rugby and Hurricanes. Also had time at Bristol. Admittedly this was all 15+ years ago.
