Dress sense

[innsaneink]

It was always going to be discussed….he was the first interviewee....its been discussed for months
He knew it would be all over the media, everywhere....he chose to portray the NRL and his club in a poor light by looking like a slob, an amateur....and as such the fans picked up on it...not just the media as you'd have us believe.

My opinion,and Im sure many NRL fans as well....isnt swayed by the media.

Over to you for the last word

I think if I was in the same situation and knew I was innocent I would treat this with some contempt as well

So you'd turn up to a court trial dressed like that? The ASADA being are doing a job - as much as Wade Graham (I don't what makes you think he knows he's innocent) might have contempt for the process **he should be treating with more seriousness than a trip to the shops.** It certainly doesn't give the impression he's ready to be co-operative.

:laughing: Cracked up at that!

It wasn't a professional or good look that Graham portrayed but then again ASADA has shown the Sharks no respect by postponing interviews etc and dicking them around so I reckon fair play that Graham shows them no respect by dressing like that.
By the way Flanagan is carrying on about the whole interview process it wouldn't surprise me if he fully supported the idea of looking like they will show ASADA no respect.

It wouldn't suprise me if he supported it either.

The NRL is full of small minded boys club mentality clubs who would rather look inward, maintain a seige mentality and let the outside perception suffer.

No serious sporting organisation of any note or success acts in this way outside the NRL yet because we have this idiotic perception it is a "working man's game" which thrives in the NRL.

Time to accept facts. You want to be a serious competitor then you have to act like one. Players want to earn a living off this game then they had better man up and treat it and all of the responsibilities that come with it seriously. Coming from a low income area is not a hinderance either. Guys coming through to the NFL come from truly abject poverty that nobody in NRL ranks has any grasp of yet they are trained to do their job on and off the field

I'm so over the protection being shown to the players in this whole ASADA drama … I'm pretty sure its now clear some players have been using these peptides. I suppose the next question is are the ones they are using naughty or good?!

I dont want to see the use of performance enhancing drugs in RL... _I want to see RL clean and remain a great spectacle on the pitch between 2 teams, not 2 chemists

The obvious thing to me is, the debate about Evidence and Self Incriminating is only one side of this story and is simple legal wrangling to avoid something… I wonder what that something is???_

Where is the professionalism?
He should be fined, treating this like a joke…

These guys get paid big money to represent their clubs.
Whether they like it or not that includes both on AND off the field.
Graham is a bonehead who should be severely reprimanded - if he is truly too dopey to realise what he did was wrong the Sharks have done a poor job teaching their players what the media (and public) expect of them.
