@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).

All Black 'X' (permanent suppression).
what was that?
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!

@machpants So does he have a conviction against him now? I not sure how diversion etc works.

@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.

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.

@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".

So there was no Spanish Inquisition, witch trials, kangaroo court, plea bargaining, or being married to a certain King Henry, back in the old days? Good times!

An All Black allegedly slapped a woman in a Dunedin bar then later punched her in the face leaving her with a split lip and a broken tooth.
The woman's mother told the Otago Daily Times last night the family was frustrated 27-year-old Highlanders loose forward Shannon Frizell had "walked away with nothing more than a slap on the hand".
"Her trauma has been disregarded and his full actions have been dismissed," she said.
"The man put fear into my girl and that's been the worse thing to see.""
While Frizell entered no pleas to the charges before the court, a defendant has to accept responsibility before police withdraw a charge under the diversion scheme..

That herald article also had a brief summary of the victims version of events (via her mother)
The victim's mother, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the pair had a mutual friend and were out socialising in the Octagon when the incident played out. She said a conversation arose that Frizell did not like, prompting the slap, "to shut [her] up". When the victim returned to confront the rugby player, the second assault occurred. Frizell later sent abusive messages to a third party on social media.A punch that resulted in dental work? I’m even more surprised by the NZR sanction now. Given the small punishment I was assuming the assault was a push or something else relatively insignificant

So much for Henry's "Better men make better All Blacks" ethos.
Two match ban for that sort of assault is pathetic.

@kirwan and one of them an already served highlanders game...im a bit embarrassed

After an All Black allegedly slapped and punched a woman in the face in a Dunedin bar he sent threatening messages to a third party saying "f... you b.... tell your friend to hide"this is supposedly when he had had a chance to cool off

If what the woman's mother is claiming is true, then Frizell should never play for the ABs again.
