Re: First bit of sh!t hits the fan for ARU - Daugunu refuses to play
Its not a strike. Its a breach of contract by the Rebels. I certainly wouldnt be playing if I wasnt being paid what I was contractually owed. Except it’s not part of his contract, so like I said, who blinks first? I explained in detail on the previous page why, under contract law, it is a part of h...

Which he paid for in the first place using, you guessed it, his salary. Do keep up. I don't know what point you think you're making. Oh he's not owed salary he's owed reimbursement. Who cares?

Re: First bit of sh!t hits the fan for ARU - Daugunu refuses to play
He's not though. That's the point. They owe him money. 7k might be paltry for you. I doubt that's necessarily the case for a guy who grew up in Fiji with 7 siblings, who's mum died when he was 7. I reckon 7k might feel like quite a lot if you grew up in those circumstances. A trouble maker because ...

Re: First bit of sh!t hits the fan for ARU - Daugunu refuses to play
Yeah that's more or less how I'd interpret things too. Whether or not RA/the Rebels are technically or legally in the right, morally I side with Daugunu. They owe him money, he aint getting it, so why risk his body and continue to provide his on-field services? Because he's being paid to? He's argu...

Re: First bit of sh!t hits the fan for ARU - Daugunu refuses to play
Splitting hairs. They owe him money (reimbursement, not pay, whatever). He's not receiving it. Therefore, why on earth would he put his body on the line and risk injury and concussion for a bottom of the table team in front of an empty stadium for a club that might not even exist next year who can'...

Re: NZ Politics Thread
So landlords who bought 20 years ago and have no mortgage are not charging the full rents - i.e. their costs are lower and they are passing this on to tenants. Yeah, right. Supply and demand set the rental costs, not interest deductibility . That is probably correct and they were very short on supp...

I reckon Williamson needs to stop getting a free pass and start having some hard questions asked.

Williamson is a myth against the top teams. He’s just a nice version of Warner. Flat track bully.
