Upskilling or Training for new apprentices

Jeff from Saint Andrews

Just a bit of an idea about the type of work to apply for, this part of Seek shows the various pay differences to train for but personally I believe IT is far too over-rated as too many people doing it so the pay should drop a lot but I guess IT people lie to keep their high pay. Compare all these trades etc:

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

What did you make of Finau's tackle in Friday's game?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Samipeni Finau admits he heard all the outrage over his latest massive hit, but the Chiefs enforcer could not care less, and is backing his technique to continue to smash pesky No 10s.

Debate swirled over the weekend in the wake of Finau’s crunching tackle on Waratahs first-five Tane Edmed in the third minute of the Chiefs’ Super Rugby Pacific win in Sydney last Friday.
