Facebook got rid of Lawrence, could the same happen with the Kings?
October 17, 2012 in Uncategorized
So Bryce Lawrence decided to retire from being a ref.
He said and I quote, “On Facebook they launched a ‘get rid of Bryce Lawrence’ site and it was pretty nasty.”
He is now starting to come out with the truth. And it seems like Mr O.Neill had much to do with his performances or lack there off anyway.
I read an interesting comment and it made me think. Could social media have such a big impact on individuals in the way that this did? If so, then people are very easily manipulated.
Would this work if a Facebook group called “ get rid of the Kings” were started. Would this put pressure on SARU to come out with the truth, even if it is a year down the line?
Food for thought

Lawrence is, was and will always remain as a kak ref, blaming people not liking you on a social media page to quit is all a bit childish.
He came up short when it mattered and that means that he was in over his head in international games from there on.
This is only a good move for Rugby in general.
On the Kings, I can’t see the Watson bend to peer pressure like little Brycie did, but still worth the shot.
O, and please get rid of this CAPTCHA thing.

NZRU paid off Bryce to get out of the spotlight.
He now wants to divert the attention to Aus and O’Niel and Facebook and what not.
The real truth is Nz paid him and then made him ref of the year but it was always in their plans that he should retire so as to take away the spotlight from Nz.
He now has a nice cushy job at their High performance center and all that doe he was paid to flip the game to spend.
