can confirm from a friend in melbourne who has contacts there that they have been late with their pay sometimes as much as a week every time since training began.
and reports are the players are heading up a petition to NZF to change the ownership...
Who is 'they'? I assume you mean the Nix, but I it could be Melbourne from that sentence.
And ... 'reports are' ... which is pure scuttlebutt unless you can give us some facts.
And are all the players involved in this? Or some of the players? Or a player's mate's uncle's aunty?
And if 'players are heading up a petition to NZF to change the owners' [assume you mean Terry] the DomPost has a new front page tomorrow morning.
I'll wait for the movie.
