More bad behaviour

[JD Tiger]

Major problem is that, despite the efforts of the club and code, rugby league players are not your standard breed of person. They are often wealthy, big and strong, confident and often with big egos.

They've often been popular at school, selected in rep sides for years and years and told by coaches and agents that "they've got what it takes".

Then they hit NRL reality and they are still boys, and not everyone copes with the change in fortunes that happens to 95% of footballers.

So in that regard, I would be surprised if most of us could "understand" why footballers sometimes behave like they do. I certainly was never the size of a brick house and I was never staring down the barrel of a potentially multi-million dollar career at 20 years old.

They are not regular people, they mostly have not had to find their own way, mostly not had to work crap jobs.

I'm not excusing the behaviour - but it's easily explained why Joe Public doesn't understand why footballers sometimes misbehave - especially with regard to violence and alcohol. I doubt many young fellows can honestly say they've never been involved in any fights or argy-bargy as young fellows having their first few years of nightlife, except that the public doesn't put your photo in the paper if you are a nobody.

You sum up pretty well Jirskyr the circumstances which lead to why it is occurring with these fellows, And I hear you in saying that it's no excuse. These players will continue to do this, until the clubs are forced by the NRL to come down harder on them and not just let them misbehave for another team.

Only the NRL can fix this, and there has been plenty of good suggestions on how that I've read coming from this web site. Todd Greenturd, this is what you should be doing, and the fact that you're not and are instead flexing your muscles on bull-dust other matters is why you are an utter tool.

Good assessment. They have relied on their talent to get them everything they want three times as fast as most of us with no true understanding of how tough that is or real appreciation, because its standard for most of the people they associate with. ie other players.
Many of them are also already fathers of two or more kids without any real life experience other than being in the NRL bubble.
Not sure what the answer is other than the NRL taking the power away from the clubs who will always be on the side of protecting their talent.

MCK is 26 and a fringe player that understands the struggles of hanging on to an NRL career by his fingernails for most of his career

No excuses

Maybe this is Hobbo's fault …..all the boosting and stroking of MCK's ego

Chee Kam is signed to the end of 2019\. In the case that the club sacks Chee Kam before the start of the 2019 season would it be financially better off CAP wise?

The truth is though the NRL buries it's head in the sand just as much as the clubs do, in order to protect hhe talent within it's organisation. Look at what Inglis has gotten away with doing throughout his career as an example. If he was just Joe Bloggs he would of been gone long ago after he hit his missus for starters. Toddy wants to ensure the cash-cow keeps getting milked, it will ensure his pockets are lined in his retirement….....

Sometimes you need to put the niceties to one side and give someone a good smack in the mouth …
But let me guess ...
The 26 year old Uber driver was a local parishioner delivering bibles and minding his own business when out of the blue he’s set upon by Chee Kam
:unamused:

But Chee Kam will never be an immortal so let’s punt him without knowing all the facts !

Not sure there are too many still running around earning a wage in the NRL aside from Untouchable Greggy.
Zane Tetevano and Ben Barba are the only ones that spring to mind. Tetevano plays for the Rorters so he could get away with being a serial killer and still be happily vouched for by the NRL and their great mate Unca Nick. And fairly certain Greenberg himself was CEO of the Bulldogs when one of his own- Barba, flogged his partner and the whole sordid incident was swept under the carpet.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

No big deal really MCK is only contracted to the end of the year and very much doubt he would have been re-signed anyway. Garner will most likely take his spot if he gets the punt. But our depth is getting pretty thin as i didnt really notice many standouts in the reggies.

Time to look at some young blokes being held back at other clubs. Cheap and eager to impress.

We been doing that for years now…..

Lol yep that's all we ever buy!

Ha no we don't. We buy over the hill garbage and young blokes who probably wouldn't play first grade at any other club.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

I am totally over NRL players and in particular Wests Tigers players bringing our club down…

The WT should have a **zero tolerance** policy to any players being charged by the police...they should immediately be stood down from the club and if proven guilty their contract torn up no if's, and's or but's....

When was the last time you read a Sydney Kings (or any NBL) player in trouble with the law....or lets take this further a Sydney FC or WSW player...?.
\
\
The NRL should come down hard on these fools.!

League is a mugs game, played by meatheads.

Players from basket ball or a number of sports, could mug someone in stark daylight and most probably no one one would recognise them anyway.
A NRL player only has to sneeze the wrong way, and a dozen phones spring out of pockets, When will some of these drongos realise that, and even the thickest of them ,get the message?
There’s a lot of players in the NRL, who know how to act like a human,
A pity that they get bundled in with the cretinous minority who are not capable of sane thinking,
I couldn’t care less if the League booted anyone who brings the game into disrepute, get rid of them

Honestly though , how many people would recognize Zane Musgrove or MCK …............

a lot less less than a lot of other players,true, but it only takes one,

The League only selectively chooses who to punt out of the game for bringing it into disrepute. Todd Carney for example.
Yet a spouse-beating Greg Inglis drives across NSW half-p###ed and speeding and is hailed as "brave" by Greenberg for holding a press conference AFTER his misdemeanor is splashed over every newspaper. The game is run by idiots so it is no surprise that it breeds idiots.
Wonder if MCK will be made an example of ala Carney, or cop the red-carpet adulation the Immortal-in-waiting (spew) GI gets showered with?

Absolutely 100% agree

Apparently the driver had the audacity to hit the horn while wannabeast and his mate were drunkenly staggering down the road.

Should we acknowledge the restraint shown by only punching him through the window a few times rather than dragging him out of the car and killing him?

Seriously if the offender was anyone else, it would not make the news and is unlikely to result in jail time. But most 26 year olds with limited skills would not be living the lifestyle of an NRL player.

The NRL needs to limit the amount of free time these morons have and keep them occupied outside of their training.

 

[prattenparkchild]

Too much drink, spare time and ego. What could possibly go wrong? Idiot. Probably destroyed his immediate career. No sympathy. If confirmed by court rip up the contract.

 

[diedpretty]

Shows as much intelligence off the field as he does on it.

Maybe he wasn’t sure how to hail the Uber

But definitely shows a lot more aggression off the field than he has ever shown on it.

 

[Tommy Magpie]

Plodder misbehaves: sack them
Star misbehaves: it was out of character, needs support, contrition, redemption
