Wellington Lions 2021

@canes4life no thanks. I really don't like him. I said that he just seemed like a dickhead last year and everyone on here said it was a bad take.
-
@stargazer good to see Holland isn't trying to make excuses for him. I hope he's stood down for the first two rounds or something atleast, because he shouldn't get away with that.
-
@canes4life As we're in the NPC season, I think it's more appropriate that it will be an NPC punishment/suspension than a SR suspension.
-
$300 fine each, from Police. It fucks me off that they can jsut say they are 'hurting' and 'aware of the mistake' etc and thus get no real concequences - it is not like it was 1 incident.
-
@machpants Don't think the police could do more than fine them $300 each? What other consequences could there have been from the authorities?
The question is more, will Wellington Rugby add their own punishment. I assume they first had to await the police outcome. Now it's their turn. I'm not reading in that article that that decision has already been made.

I'm talking about rugby, not police. Holland saying 'he's disappointed' 'he's learned' 'he's hurting' - the way coaches speak is like the criminals are the victims, see violent offender and ABs coach. There should be outright condemnation, not the bullshit we here. Multiple instances of getting on the piss whilst the country is doing it hard, unable to go to funerals etc, is just not good enough

@toddy I don’t agree with that. He’s the captain of Wellington and should be setting a good example.
If they don’t suspend him for a game or two I think that sends a pretty soft message to the rest of the team / other players around NZ. It’s pretty much saying that if a senior player can get away with doing shit like that for a measly $300 fine then other players might just push the boundaries aswell.

Don't see why they need to be punished further. A $300 fine and public humiliation seems more than enough imo.
Kind of agree with this. I tend to have a forgiveness attitude with younger men and women. As long as its a one off. edit although he is not that young now and should know better

Another option is stripping him of the captaincy.
For one match. Pathetic. Slapped with a wet bus ticket
We support Kirifi. He made a mistake and has shown genuine remorse regarding this incident
Oh that's ok then. Wet, soft fluffybunnies

Seems over kill but one match isn't too bad
Sure, overkill. he should have lost the captaincy for the season, this is not the actions of a leader - multiple law breaks just to party
12 Dragons NRL players, were fined A$305,000 ($325,000) and suspended for a week for attending a house party hosted by teammate Paul Vaughan during lockdown in July
-
Wellington are a joke, Kirifi should be stripped of his captaincy for being a completely selfish fwit.
-
surprised they did anything TBH...
Given the time that has passed, I had all but forgotten about it!
I think stripping captaincy full stop should have been the punishment.
