Friend Family 357 Report post Posted May 27 Thanks for posting that Idolmite. The most telling line was the last line ......'You can re-apply in 12mths' .....that usually means 'green light next time' so N R McGrath will be back in action next year which is good as he has undoubted ability and just wandered off the beaten track. Taking short cuts seems good at the time but never pays off......so hopefully he has learned his lesson and the Blue with the White Star will be back big time next year.

The 12 months would have been mentioned as you can only appeal every 12 months.Hope he gets himself sorted as talented but trouble seems to follow him.Some of his choice of staff hasnt helped.

R Dunn's record in terms of past issues with officialdom? FFS the guy is on the HRNZ board, what on earth was he thinking just as the same question could and was be asked Of Spicer when he wanted McGrath back in.. Absolute nonsense which RIB saw through in appeals in both cases. JMT Keneperu, Ned Kelly, Akcam and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunn's offending goes back to the days when he had a TAB agency in Christchurch. Akcam, Keneperu and Hedley Jordan 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
