*   When are we going to stop going on about Zac. He has made mistakes. He has the love and support from family and friends. Let Zac get on with it. He is on the bottom rung, the only way now is up. Good luck Zac. Let the public put this to rest.

*   Quote from another paper "if he has a problem than we all do" but we are not wearing the All Black jersey. Zac you are the man.

*   Zac don't sweat it just have a yarn with Norm - he'll fix you up.

*   Zac got bad influences around him. Some All Black team mates worst examples. Needs to be stood down from all rugby until sorted. Rugby Union to soft on this.

*   Re Zac: D Ropiha has it right. Zac is an alcoholic. He has been spoken to at least twice before by AB Management for drinking problems. When he drinks all control disappears. He needs proper treatment, ie. AA or similar proven programme. PY

*   Agree with some others get rid of Guildford. He plus so many All Blacks before him have a misguided belief of being "heroes" when they are only game players at the end of the day. Make an example of him to other All Blacks. He shamed not only himself but the whole country. AA

*   If he wasn't an All Black it wouldn't make front page news. If I did it no one would have cared. I would have been put to bed by one of my mates and woken the next morning feeling embarrassed.

*   Numerous calls to HDC re vegetation on footpaths in Havelock North - nothing happens.

*   Re truck driver on phone and drinking. Try working for freight companies sometime. Your expected to pick freight up and deliver it yesterday, know exactly were all address are, answer the CB and or phone and were do you fit in the food or loo breaks in you 14 hour days? Many truckies and couriers work well over driving hours without breaks.
