And we live in a rather lenient society…
yes I have made mistakes and had to where the fall out from it. drugs is the worst of the lot, I have never taken anything nor have I ever smoked drugs or fags. but its not that iam taking the high road here, I think it is wrong on so many fronts that drug use is blown under carpet with a six week or 12 week ban. if they want to have the game as a model for the kids coming next then u make a statement or u let them run wild.
I think that's where we differ. For me, drugs shouldn't be bundled together. Some aren't 'the worst of the lot' . Some are horrendous and some are not so bad. Marijuana I believe is actually better than alcohol or cannibis for society, it even is starting to show some health benefits. Cocaine is middle of the road. Ice is the worst.
Now, while its wrong, I think when you are talking role model status, youve got a bunch of guys in the game who have beaten their wives. Including some very notable names. Drugs are usually only self inflicted, but when you hurt someone else, like a Robert lui, it's far, far worse in my books.
But really, Kyle was wrong. Especially being to scared to report it to the club. Is it worth kicking him out, ruining a young guys life and throwing the club into turmoil? I don't think so. Is it worth him getting a harsh punishment and a final warning? Most definitely. Cut his pay, put him on suspension and send him around to every school for the first half of the year on an anti drugs campaign for the NRL. Far more effective than the boot.
You nailed it hammertime .
It's funny some have admitted that if it was a Teddy or a Moses caught with coke that a Sackable offence shouldn't apply to them but yes to Lovett….so the Law apply to some but not others yeah whatever :unamused: .
