Player Dramas in the NRL

[kiwitiger]

The NRL should hang it's head in shame...imagine making the Bulldogs have to play rd1 on a school night. How many other players girlfriends can't make it.

You can create images of being an inclusive sport all you like in a bid to attract ‘new’ supporters and players but until the NRL clean up its own backyard with strong, consistent, transparent and far reaching discipline for players who soil the brand it will never attract new supporters.
Also, I think it’s about time the players association gets on board with the NRL in a bid to work together in demanding higher behaviour expectations of players.

Absolutely mate. This is the hypocrisy I've been referring to, with the women in league round and all their posturing and chest beating. This rubbish needs to be fixed up first BEFORE those sorts of initiatives can be taken as serious efforts fpr change and not just a pretense.

Players association will probably just remain silent. It doesn't involve more money for them.
Unless they really cared about the game

You could say a lot of things about the Players Association but that they care about the game - is not one of them.

It's the NRL in general. Looks good on the surface but its an organisation with no real leadership and just decay on the inside.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

All the big deal surrounds these two idiots ... my question is what about those two little darlings that had no problem throwing there groupie legs open in the first place .There lies a bigger issue IMO !

These are professionals attending the school & getting paid for it.

If it was a teacher, priest or child worker etc it would all be over the news as well. The player/s stuffed up.

What seriously is the NRL supposed to do about a few DHs throwing their doodles about?

It would be like saying the CEO of Westpac is responsible for someone sticking their hand in the till at the Stanmore branch.

Stanmore doesn't have a bank, let alone a Westpac branch. Wish they did it would make my life easier! :grin:

All jokes aside, the NRL and ARLC need to step up immediately and improve their player social education program, it's obviously not cutting through and it's not making a difference.

Didn't one of them also take a teacher from a different school back to the hotel?

More punitive measures are required. Suspend them both for a year and see how quickly the remainder learn.

Really? You might want to rethink that one, because that doesn't make sense. Yes, the CEO of Westpac would be ultimately responsible to ensure the appropriate practices and policies are in place to deal with any theft or fraud within their branches.

The NRL needs to caome down hard, put together some tough guidelines, as objectively as possible. Not make it up as they go.

Or do you think the NRL can do nothing?

I agree, the NRL/ARLC has to be harsh and set a clear rule, but I also think that if they don't improve their education program this will continue to be an ongoing issue.

The amount of players that have been sucked into fandom and have made terrible career ending mistakes is huge.

Education is the key.

The players get a lot of education in this area now but the NRL cant do much if the players are too stupid to follow the guidelines.Not everybody is more intelligent than a potato

They do, but it's not working.

NRL/ARLC need to review and change their method ASAP.

Exactly, they need to stop these players from having frontal lobotomies.

I think giving them a frontal lobotomy would be a good idea and the odd gelding wouldnt go astray either

 

[Tiger_Steve]

IMO it’s all about setting standards. What should the NRL do? Set a standard and stick to it. Maybe if Morris And co were disciplined harshly 18 months ago these young blokes would understand they need to pull their heads in.
@jirskyr I think it is way more serious than a couple of extracted doodles.
