I can see his point all the way. Nobody understood the Polynesian culture. SK does and that is why I think we might see some progress.
Come on guys. You needed Sione's memoirs to tell you that? That the aussies didn't understand the polynesian culture? i thought that was obvious.
Think it's starting to be a bit of a cop out 'x,y or z wasn't successful at the Warriors because they didn't understand Polynesian culture'
Would rather we promoted a winning/drive to succeed culture regardless of what race you were and if the players or staff can't get onboard with that then tough.
At the moment it seems to be the club fitting into the culture of the players rather than the other way around which is part of the problem IMO

We all knew, it is just the detail he puts that is interesting. BTW his book isn't an expose about the Warriors, it is a story about his wasted life as an NRL player. All the other stuff is just background information and very interesting IMO.
I have tried to answer that. He isn't copping out. In fact he liked Wayne Bennett and wished he had accepted his offer. He blames his agent for that.
Not sure but the Warriors store is selling them...

Bookstores in Aus and NZ are supposed to have it in stock right now. An electronic format is also in the works, which will have an exclusive additional chapter - due to come out within next couple of weeks.
He is also make a return to league for Easts in the Intrust Cup. Will see how he handles the preseason before making a final call on whether to play the season or not.

Sione is also playing in a charity match next week - maybe someone up in Brisbane may be keen. Few players from yesteryear involved i.e. Civonceeva, Preston Campbell, Kimmorley, Faalongo, Mark Tookey, Thorn, Peachey etc.
Robster Your all time fav player (of all time..), Justin Murphy will also be playing.

ahh Robster and his love affair with Justin Murphy, it reminds me to dust of the VHS tape of "The greatest coffee book tackles of all time as selected by Skinny Ravs"

Anyone read it? any good? I see he has really changed his life around for the better and couldnt be more pleased for him. Really proud for the man he has become. Such a far cry from the days when he stumbled on these forums and started posting lol

He is a very different man to what he used to be. If i remember correctly he gave up booze. Hes always doing something positive for the Polynesian community and teaching the youngsters not to take the path he took. He doesnt shy away from the his mistakes and owns it.
Dave, did you start on the Turps early tonight?
Indeed. I am on the list for yours.if I need a liver transplant I don't want yours
Quite telling that a liver that went through both the civil war and the Great War is still a good option for a transplant
