I'd be more embarrassed if the club made a statement about this tbh, it would do nothing but draw more attention to the club and evoke further public reaction.
Doing it to appease fans only is kinda like
getting mum to fight all your battles.

Can be done behind closed doors.

As @cochise explained, most employers have social media policies and procedures and code of conduct, ethics, etc.

I think Tamou, Dane and whoever else need to be thoroughly reminded of this.

I was told once a Coles employee can't just go around the back on their lunch break and have a cigarette whilst wearing their uniform. The same should apply, in a sense to players.

I don't care if some may see it as petty.
In the public eye, you represent only one club - the club you're contracted to. Simple as that, IMO.

Do whatever you want in retirement, be like Cronk and fawn over the Roosters. But as a current player, policy applies.

Granted. But what if we don’t have any?
I can’t imagine many clubs putting together a code of conduct that states when you are employed with us, for the life of that contract. You are not to wear any other clubs jerseys or memorabilia or express any empathy towards that club.

I have actually written a heap of Code of Conducts, things like uniform and social media feature heavily.

Edit: or perhaps it is and that’s why players have stopped.

 

[GarryOwen]

It was dumb but it's not even in the realms of public apology imo.
By all means have a word with him behind closed doors and remind him that he's a public figure, and these things will be noticed.

It's a job and like every job you sign an employment contract.

It may not state "you cannot wear other clubs jerseys or express empathy to other clubs" but I guarantee it'd mention you're not to bring any public humiliation or negativity to the club.

It's pretty straight forward.
I can't get over some of the defence of these guys.
I'm filthy about it.

It wouldn’t have to be that specific. The apparel partner for example would have conditions that contracted players do not wear gear with opposition branding. (I don’t know for sure of course)

I've only seen it really happen in world cup games to be honest.

Never seen say some Pareamatta guy swap his jersey after the game with a sharks player for the sake of it.

This isn't even like that anyway.
It's two contracted players to the Tigers parading 'round like they themselves just won the comp when in fact, they should be 100% all in on trying to achieve this with the club they're at and being paid to be at.

Anyway, like I said.... I'm 100% not with it.

I said it before and I'll say it again

If you're a WestPac employee, you don't say oOooOoh!! Go Commonwealth, you legends !! When they win bank of the year, waving your Commonwealth bank flag.
You look at what they did and try and figure out a way to do better.
The competition is the competition no matter your former affiliations.

No, the analogy that is applied to this is if your a WestPac employer and you’ve decided to use Commonwealth bank as your private account.

To clarify, I believe in the employment agreement between the player and the club as well as the NRL as a stake holder there would be such terms in the agreement.

Needs to be a standard set by the club.

We've been getting stepped on for years.
Joke of the league.

When our players are displaying what honestly looks like they're not proud to be here and wish they were at their old clubs. Nothing but a bad look, IMO.

Our juniors get picked off by the better clubs and we get stuffed over with ridiculous contracts for players that don't even care about us or the jersey, just chasing the pay day.

Those days need to end.
We need to draw a line in the sand and put our foot down.

It’s definitely a slap in face for us fans Demps. But compared to what other NRL players get up to I don’t think it’s worth losing sleep over. The club will pull him into line easy enough.

The club is scared he’ll do a Matterson, he knows he’s desperately wanted by the club so he’ll play his cards right

 

[twentyforty]

This display of loyalty to Penrith says more about WT culture than it does about Laurie. If he hadn’t been the subject of an early Momirovski exchange it would’ve been a more appropriate celebration for Laurie. Possibly something he will look back on as a missed opportunity. With that in mind it would be counterproductive of the club to have a heavy handed approach. One of those times when the club needs to take a deep breath and look for a positive outcome.
I still want to know what Tamou’s underlying issues are?

 

[oldschooltiger]

Tamou should be stripped of captaincy for what he did. He should know much better considering he's a senior player and captain.

Daine can be let off as long as the club gets in his ear privately about it.

What did Tamou do? I haven't much in the last 3 weeks

Nothing since he's been here.
