Didn't a Hooker of theirs just get suspended for 20 weeks for abusing an official? Sounds like JOC (James O'Connor) will fit in nicely.

Wasn't that a Northampton hooker?

Or was there another incident?

This is another incident.

The hooker, Arnaud Heguy was suspended for 20 weeks.
Forwards coach Laurent Rodriguez was suspended for 12 weeks.
Club President Serge Blanco was suspended from all involvement in rugby for 4 weeks.

Treat this bloke like an adult and I bet he will aim up and behave like one.

A good Super 15 coach,,,his name was John Mitchell.

Far too many things to come back at you in that rant of yours, but you really lost whatever credibility you had with that comment above.

Sweet Jay-sus.

I enjoyed Gekko's rant. It had that tent preacher vibe from the American south. I could see him holding up snakes and speaking in tongues.

Bellamy and C. Smith would certainly sort him out.

You underestimate the influence of 'others' in his life like managers.
The manager often looks at at it this way for himself;
6% of say $300K = $18K for me if he signs with the Force OR
10% of say $500K = $50K for me if he signs with a top French club.

What's with the changing of percentage?

Managers get paid a higher % of the contract in France, and it's paid by the club directly to the manager.

Would players have deals with their manager. How would u know their deals? Just curious

Yes players have deals or contracts with their managers. Whatever the % for doing the rugby deal, the rates increase for off field contracts such as for ambassadorial roles or endorsements. You cannot obtain a contract in France without a manager and that manager must be accredited in France.
In Australia the % vary but 6% playing and 10-20% for off field are around the norm for a manager.

Because it is what it is Shiggers.

It is fairly common knowlege. The Player Managers in Fivekick are known collectively as Mr 7%ers. That is par for the course for the AFL managers as well.

If a club decides to sign JOC (James O'Connor), where would they enter him on their annual Balance Sheet, under "assets" or "liabilities"?!!

Is it possible to have a deficit of goodwill? An intangible liability?

Nice one lewisr, some may say that he's a Non-Fixed Asset, with "social liabilities"!

I like your reasoning/logic, oztimmay.
I have a business background, but not a bean counter!
"Matter of fact": I just knocked the top off a stubie, (first for the day), after tidying and watering the garden and servicing the pool!
