...Looks like NZ has come to their senses and will pay the star fullback to stay...should've been a no brainer for dopey Hansen who probably doesn't want any player getting paid more than he is...


Great news also for Highlander fans as Ben Smith calls all the shots and the whole team would go to pieces without him..

Turns out his wife expecting their second child may also have swayed his decision to stay in NZ..

 ...Hey Cloudy, pretty sure King Richie has hung up his boots and would rather be flying around the SI with all its stunning scenery in his capacity as a commercial pilot...

...recently married to a NZ hockey international also he and Gemma will probably be working on producing the next generation of NZ sporting heroes..

 Yes, Dagg has a rather unfortunate name, I bet Dagg got ragged in college. 
Back in the US now Wardad, there are a fair few nice people here and a few of the other kind as well Some might call them crazy - Tru@mp crazy even.

Both Dagg and Smith are brilliant players.....unfortunately for us Springbok supporters.
Please to hear that Smith has shown just what a classy person he is by placing family and country ahead of money.
Unfortunately, not many guys like him play a sport.
I wish him all the best.

 For some time, people hide from the situation by telling NH clubs were good enough for retired players. Then they are hiding from the situation that players attracted in their prime are substiute material.

The trend is on.

Always made a point in my life of acknowledging class, loyalty, and family.
Even if they come from NZ.
Cheers.
