Beattie was in Perth trying to get corporate support for the game from the W.A. premier when this news broke….didnt go down too well over there
GCT is right...we need to stop condoning this which is what people who say "I dont condone this, but..." are doing.
I understand young people make poor decisions especially when on the turps, Ive been there believe me...but these guys representing the game have to grow up a LOT quicker than the average young guy
 
20 year olds will always be 20 year olds. What was missing was the wise heads and leaders setting an example and ensuring things didn’t get out of hand. They needed to set expectations and standards. This then becomes culture - the culture of the club and to some extent, the culture of the game. Perceived culture then helps sell or not sell your product. Simple.
 
Poor form from the club to tip off the media and host the event in the middle of the city. Surely host it somewhere a bit quieter where you can have your shenanigans and fun without having bottom feeder journos and camera men sitting outside with their mics and cameras looking for a story. Hosting it in the middle of the Rocks was never going to be a good idea.

That’s it,!!, it was all someone’s else’s fault, ,,,,,the bad reporters made me do it….....I’m not guilty.......the big boys forced me to drop my daks!!!

Give us a break!!!

No matter how you try and whitewash the actions of these fools, if they didn’t do it . they wouldn’t be in the crap that they are in.
They’ve been warned well and truly by the NRL
How long do you think that we should pamper these gooses like little babies .
Get them out of the game

They know what happens on mad monday, they go there for the story no matter how much they will tell you otherwise. The idiocy on the Bulldogs part was the location (which I pointed out). I would be shocked if players weren't throwing up at 7 other mad monday's this week, and I'll bet that there were nudie runs at all 7 too, but it's not reported.
 
The fact that everyone knows it’s going to happen just shows the level of idiocy that these knuckle draggers have,.
Boot em!
Maybe they’ve been hanging around with their supporters for too long and are catching whatever makes them Drongos

And here's me thinking finally no bad Mad Monday stories for the first time in years! Press obviously didn't like that, so they had to make something up. Nothing to see here.

Sounds like you should have been there, another childish opinion, Spud.

Thanks for the character slur, despite not knowing me.

I probably didn't make it very clear, but my point was that compared to all the recent years of Mad Monday reports of vandalism, rape and assault allegations etc, this story is pretty tame.

No one got hurt, no one was abused or assaulted - they just made idiots of themselves and no doubt many of them weren't feeling too flash the next day. Sure it's not a good look for the club or the game, but at least they only hurt themselves this time.

So maybe we should wait until there’s another report of vandalism,, rape or assaults, to draw a line and let them know that it’s over

That isn't what I read, but I don't read all posts these days. Anyhow, in my opinion, they've done nothing more than thousands upon thousands of teens, 20 somethings, 30 somethings and so on have done for decades or more. Let get some perspective here. Stupid. foolish, whatever…it's been done before, it'll happen again and it won't be remembered much past the next month or so. Or at least it shouldn't be.

Im with you GCT. Same as when Carney got punted, it wasn't the worst thing in the world he did but the game didn't need him.
They need to wise up.

The average 20 or 30 something’s dont get paid huge money to do their job in a field that they love being in.
That brings with it a hell of a lot of responsibility, and if they aren’t responsible enough to live with that , and conduct themselves decently.
They will find it harder and harder
To remain in the game.
Whether we like it or not , anyone in the public eye needs to be aware that they could be on a camera at any time of the day and night.
It’s the price of being well known.
Sponsors pour the money in, and they can stop it just as quickly.
I’d hate to see my business tied up with people or a club like this.
 
Meh, not going to slate the boys for doing things I have done in the past.

Agree it's not a good look for the game though, perhaps the club needs to make sure they have a private function next year. The club should have known better, they know the journos are gutter level in Sydney, especially the Errorgraph.

The people that are running the line that kids look up to these guys as role models, well they are the problem. If your kids role models are people who happen to be good at sport, you're doing it wrong.
 
NRL fines Canterbury Bulldogs $250,000 for Mad Monday celebrations
By Stuart Honeysett
41 minutes ago

Dean Pay slugged with $25,000 fine.The NRL has fined the Canterbury Bulldogs $250,000 for bringing the game into disrepute over Mad Monday celebrations.

The Bulldogs were informed this afternoon about the fine after an investigation by the integrity unit.

CEO Todd Greenberg said the penalty reflects the seriousness of the breach which has damaged the game in the lead up to the finals.

“The NRL today issued the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs with a breach notice proposing a fine of $250,000 relating to the club’s post-season function,” Greenberg said.

The penalty proposed by the NRL has been influenced strongly by the fact that the club organised the event, senior club officials were present and some of the activities took place in an area which is in view of the general public.#nrl
 
Toddles grossly overreacts, pats himself on the back and continues to make a fool of himself and the NRL.News Ltd puff up with delight and tell you what a good job they are doing as media and the main supporters of the NRL.
Seriously you couldnt make this up if you tried. What has the best sport in the world done to deserve these toads?50k fine would have been sufficient.
Toddles continues to ignore the cheating in the cap and allows an unfair situation to continue
 
The question that has to be asked (but won't be answered) is ,"Are the teams who grossly and flagrantly rort the CAP cleanskins?" Don't they bring the NRL into disrepute?"
