The man exists!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 895955.stm

Think this is exactly what the Crusaders fans needed to hear at the moment. Theres been a lot of negativity around the club and this should at least dispel some of that. Fair play to him, he knows when he's needed.

Doesn't mention why Gerald left but he does say its not a problem. Clearly something went on but maybe Gerald wasn't the man for the job. He seems to have been a nice guy from what I've heard about him but I'll always remember he predicted that they'd get 14,000 for a game against Brisbane and they got 2,000. Maybe his heart ruled his head?

Talking about CC? Even so he's very rarely come out to the public before and not in such detail if I can recall.

Wasn't that what Celtic Warriors got for one Heineken Cup game though? It was that that he was referring too I think.
