1st it was Aaron Smith and Now Kaino.
"The Daily Telegraph in Sydney ran a story in the Saturday edition headlined 'Love Rat', accompanied by a photo of Kaino with model Tara Pokarier.
The Telegraph alleged the All Blacks loose forward had been "cheating on his wife with a former Australian model", claiming they had met in hotels in Auckland, Sydney and Brisbane before Pokarier discovered he was married.
The article claimed Pokarier arranged via Snapchat to meet Kaino when she was in Auckland in May last year.
A "close friend" was quoted in the article as stating Pokarier was shocked to discover that the All Black was married. "She was absolutely devastated when she realised he had a wife and kids."
Kaino's wife Diana reacted on Facebook with the word "devastated", but later deleted the post."
"Under the gun in the Australian media all week, from exposes on their private activities, to coverage of the bugging trial, to general bullishness about the prospects of the Wallabies, they responded in style come rugby time on Saturday night in Sydney.:"
54 - 34 suck on dem apples.

Not sure what these stories have to do with rugby. If one of us regular blokes did such stuff it wouldn't make such a splash in the press.

Many a man... and women have fallen into the infidelity abyss. Dumb/clever has got nothing on the hormone drug.

Tara seemed to suggest that she did not know Kaino was married LOLS -->what's it with this pretty damsels that when they are caught, they will do anything to try and clear their name ----better than "I knew he was married but he looked so nice "
NZ Herald 5am 31/7/2015
"In the second of three exclusive extracts from his new autobiography, Jerome Kaino talks about the drinking that led to a drink-driving conviction, the players who offered him support and the birth of his daughter and how it changed his life."
Heck if Tara was pretty enough I would lie to her too and say I was 21 years old

Is it what we expect from our sporting heroes that morally they be squeeky clean i.e if married they're not to have an affair? Please note I've already stated that I won't make a moral judgement on the issue, all I'm doing is questioning the fairness of the publics expectations and perceptions so that while we don't give a toss about the bed hopping of Joe Private we do pull down the blinds on our sporting heroes?

Underarm bowling, buggings, the timing of the airing of ABs dirty laundry in public -->it would seem alls fair in love and a Bledisloe Denny. Well the Media on the other side seemed prepared to stoop. Next thing we'll hear the bugging orders was approved by Parliment

Cloudy Aaron and Kaino are as guilty as hell without a shadow of a doubt and they have paid and will continue to pay in the future.
That said, I question the Motives of the Media involved and the timing of the release of their stories. i mean Aaron's indescretions happened last year and it took all year for them to release the (Juicy ) texts lols.

Didn't know famous people were not allowed to be human.Personaly I dont give a sh!t what people get up to in their private life unless its illegal.Do I agree with whats he's done, not at all and he has to live with his decisions. He is a paid to do a job and all I care is he does it the best he can. Once he leaves the field he is free to live his life how he chooses.

"You seem to condone what they do....'
Really?
Point me to where I have when I've clearly stated that I'm questioning what the publics expectations or perceptions are of our sporting heroes.
Pretty sad this has now become personal.

NZHerald apparently had the Aaron Smith story before the Lions tour started .... Aussie press released it 3 days before the Bledisloe test . Ah, what the media does to benefit their own .

I hear you Cloudy and all due respect for your opinion, I don't necessarily disagree with you but please note that I have not as in your words "You seem to condone what they do....' and this "Make sure it's worth it before you do it."
Unless of course you can direct me to where I actually condone what they've done when what I say should simply read as the questioning of the public's viewpoint with regards to their sporting heroes as opposed to Joe Public.

No not the score Dope......it's your bias....spot the difference?
21 Aug 2017, 15:49#19
Yep Denny, the difference is 54-34 -->ABs 54 and the Wallabies and their media 34
Denny the Media play judge, jury and executioner with ABs players personal life around Bledisloe for whatever benefit and you call me bias.
They are publishing rot Denny. It does not help anybody.I for one do not want to know what the Wallabies or Boks do sexually in their spare time and personal lifes unless they take drugs illegaly to win tests.
