1264672 2012-03-13 05:25:00 Just seen this on the news and even though I don't like Rugby, I still know what a great loss to the game this will be RIP gary67 (56)
1264673 2012-03-13 05:52:00 Yes, a tremendous loss to the sport. I recall how shaky he appeared when presenting Richie McCaw with his 100th cap, and it passed my mind then he wouldn't be with us much longer.

Thanks, Jock. RIP

Hobbs, a founder and director of Strategic,

Strategic struck trouble in 2008 and was placed into a moratorium owing over $400 million to 13,000 investors, many of whom were elderly.

It has since gone into receivership. So far secured debenture holders have received just 7c in the dollar, equating to $26 million.

Hobbs was one of six company directors for Strategic alongside Graham Jackson, Marc Lindale, Denis Thom, David Wolfenden and former chief executive Kerry Finnigan.
