Reading Siggy's book, it does not sound as though players are particularly well looked after at times by NZF.
Could you expand on this part? Not disagreeing with you, would just like to have another reason to despise NZF.
You reap what you sow if you treat the players badly then they will do the same to you. Actually don't blame him at all the NZFA hasn't changed with over a million $ on the line and 3 guaranteed games against the best of the best at the Confed cup they couldn't even pull it together to organise a couple of friendlies against meaningful opposition.
