Huey Posted Monday at 11:32 PM Posted Monday at 11:32 PM Guerin is such a patsy, it's that simple clubs just up & sell for the betterment of the industry. 1 Quote

Couldn't agree more. He tells Ballesty what he wants to hear and gets that. No hard questions from the other side of the argument or exploring the detail of what Ballesty raised. Not really a lot of use to anybody, least of all the industry as a whole. Edited Monday at 11:40 PM by curious 1 Quote

Don't you think those issues could at least be mitigated with a new contemporary irrigation system (though let's see if they've managed to get that right at Riccarton or not), and an appropriate aeration and renovation programme?

They don't even have enough money to fix the electronic timing. No doubt the soil structure is stuffed as well. Quote

Perhaps by your standards you should apply for his job. Quote
