Richo has said he encourages them to have beer after a win so the let off a little steam and don't go bananas at the end of the year. Perhaps what happened to John Mc Carthy showed him how letting off a years worth of built up steam can go wrong.

I did hear reports that they had quite a few after the Wellington game also..... at the hotel bar. Anyone aware of that?
Even if I was aware I wouldn't be posting that sort of gossip on a public internet forum.
But it is hardly gossip.
One was my first hand observation ,
The NZ was second hand from a reliable attendee.
Sounds strange to me. I would have thought we left Wellington that day after it was a day game.

That's true, I just had a bit of a laugh that you referenced WCE from a few years ago as a team that did well from a looser leash.mad saint guy wrote:A quiet beer at the club's hotel is a tad different to coke benders in Vegas.dragit wrote:Worked beautifully for Mainwaring, Chick, Cousins, Kerr and that bloke who was resuscitated in Vegas...

No doubt they had massive cultural problems during their grand final years, but I think they really did sort themselves out after booting Cousins. The year I was referring to was 2011 and they were a very professional outfit by that stage, and I don't think a few beers at the hotel detracted from that.dragit wrote:That's true, I just had a bit of a laugh that you referenced WCE from a few years ago as a team that did well from a looser leash.mad saint guy wrote:A quiet beer at the club's hotel is a tad different to coke benders in Vegas.dragit wrote:Worked beautifully for Mainwaring, Chick, Cousins, Kerr and that bloke who was resuscitated in Vegas...

When did they do that before a game? And it obviously wasn't a team rule that they cant drink. Most clubs can drink after a game if they have a 7 day break. Most cant if they have less. But the important thing is that it is a team rule, not an individual rule.
