Wasn't Steven Pokere sent to jail?
Yep, for fraud.

I found Karams actual quote and response after Kirwans name was mentioned, the article is worth a read too to get an idea of what a self aggrandising weirdo he is
"If they look at what I'm doing too closely, all it would do is force them to examine their conscience, which they wouldn't really want to have to look at, because who are the All Blacks who have become such great leaders? Where are the All Blacks who have stood up for anything that is actually really that admirable?"
What, I ask, about John Kirwan fronting a campaign for mental health?
"I don't think he's putting his life out to help others. Where do we see examples of All Blacks stepping outside their comfort zone with possibly a little bit of personal risk to do something that actually helps New Zealand society? We all think All Blacks are gods, so they must be great leaders. But start analysing it. It's bloody dreadful that All Blacks don't individually do more." He appears to have forgotten men like Sir Wilson Whineray.

Plenty of stories about Fawcett and his failed property development.
I had him as a PE teacher at school.
Didn’t Grant Batty get himself into similar strife?
Teaching @Bovidae?
Hi did...... Well, he coached Tauranga Boys' 1st XV in the 80s, assume he was PE teacher as well.
-
@westcoastie Damn, it's been a while since I've seen him, he looks like an old man in that pic, or a long lost Whitelock!

@Nepia I teach at the high school, a parent came in who manages that 3rds team, saying Hayman just rocked up, most of the boys had no idea who he was. Student Support Teacher had no idea who Hayman was...
-
@westcoastie Crazy how that happens. I did my placement for uni at a high school, one of the students was the child of Carl Hoeft, I saw the the last name on the roll and asked the student. I banged on about it to the other teachers and pretty much none of them had any idea who he was.

For all the shit Reece has been getting, Hayman is lucky he didn't do time in France.
Yep
Him and Bryon Kelleher incidents were much much egregious than Reece
But I guess they happened in France so few folks give a shit
its always bigger news in NZ when they are current All Blacks,
Once they have moved on, its still news but not the same drama should they be sacked ? etc etc
