Hey TVNZ, there are other sports people beside Lomu

Hey TVNZ, it was Olympic year, it was the year we had three Gold medalist, it was the year our Junior girls footballers took the world by storm and most important of all, it was the year that THE KIWIS WON THE RUGBY LEAGUE WORLD CUP!!!!!!

So why the heck on your last show of the year, your xmas show, your big star of the show to help celebrate Paul holmes retirement was Johan Lomu?

What a slap it the face to the Oylympians and the Kiwis. You guys are aware that he hasnt played for years and his big feat was 13 years ago.

It really doesnt matter what a kiwi sport does, does it TVNZ? No matter how great the feat is, no matter how historical, everything things comes down to Lomu, a retire union player who never won a world cup.

I feel sorry for famous people who come down here, because when they do, the only questions you guys can come up with is, "Have you heard of Lomu?"

So lets sum up, the kiwis won the world cup this year, our footballers did well, and we got three olympic medals, but as it has been since 1995 you guys can only gush and have time for a retired sports star who played a minorty sport.

Wake up TVNZ, Lomu is irrlevant, and a lot of people know that, except for NewZealand sports Journos.

I personally have nothing against Lomu, its the media attention that our one eyed journos give him, at the cost of current sports stars like Scott Dixion that I have a problem with.

So TVNZ, listen carefully, it's not 1995, its 2008, GET WITH THE PROGRAME.
