[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 68145"] I think that it is abhorent that anyone could even think of nominating Keith Murdoch for a Moment of Merit. At the very least Candyman, you could do a little bit of research on Murdoch or write a compelling article on why he deserves it. I personally think that Murdoch was treated very poorly by the New Zealand rugby authorities, or specifically by team manager Ernie Todd. Todd, under pressure from the British unions decided to send Murdoch home after an ugly incident at the Angel Hotel in Cardiff. However this is tempered somewhat by Murdoch's refusal to ever return to New Zealand. He departed the flight home from the UK in Australia and has lived there ever since. I feel that Murdoch was not "man enough" to face up to the music and took the easy way out. He was a talented rugby player and would have no doubt been able to add to this three international appearances for the All Blacks had he come back to New Zealand. I don't think drinking loads of beer and having your international rugby career cut-short due to ill-discipline should mention a moment of merit. [/QUOTE]
