Player Dramas in the NRL

[WT2K]

These are not acts of stupidity. These players made decisions to have sex with 17 year old school girls. This smacks of entitlement because as NRL players they are treated differently and in many cases looked up to by the community including impressionable girls. It is for this reason their behaviour needed to be beyond reproach. Instead we have them trawling for sex from perhaps naive country girls. Just a coincidence these things arise consistently at a few clubs? I believe these two should go for a year and the NRL undertake a review of the culture at the Bulldogs. I ask were these players suitable repß to interact with school girls? Who decided they were?

Why should the NRL investigate their culture. Make it the clubs responsibility and cost. If they do a good job, hey we're all winners, if not they can stay in the headlines.

I wouldn't trust the Bulldogs to investigate itself. Commissioning a review of the club's culture by an NRL appointed consultant ensures a transparency.

To be fair, the Bulldogs seem to be pretty transparent with their issues. Unlike some other clubs who sweep it under the rug, and even when outed barely get a slap on the wrist. Case in point Souths when Sutton and L Burgess were arrested in the USA and nothing was heard of the incident until weeks (months?) later. No action was taken by the NRL surprise, surprise.
The Bulldogs have a pretty dodgy history over the last few decades but they get hammered by NRL HQ when other clubs get free passes for any wrongdoings.

They were very dodgy and very good at sweeping stuff under the rug when Toddy was at the Bulldogs.

Yep, two players come to mind with the sweeping under the rug whilst Toddy was in charge

Add him to the imbecile list if the assault "is true". I'm just glad it's not a WTs player.

He kicked the guy to make sure he stayed the required 1.5m away.

Souths have just released a statement regarding Walker comfirming an incident in October 2019 in northern NSW. It also confirms there is a police investigation initiated by Walker.

Piece of history now

There's a big difference in public perception between a bloke kicking someone with a martial arts-style kick as opposed to laying the slipper in on someone who is laying defenceless on the ground. That's seen as a cowardly act (and rightly so).

Yep, that has gone out the window unfortunately.
This bloke was standing up though allegedly.

 

[gallagher]

I wonder if Walker reported the incident to south's in October or if south's informed the NRL.

It doesn't mean anything - it is not part of my culture.

The video of it is doing the rounds. It’s not really bad more stupid than anything. Don’t know why these footy players can’t figure out that if they get involved in stuff like that someone will always record it and post it online.

I'm just waiting for Joey or Freddy to come with the usual excuses. "People don't understand the pressure these poor kids are under" and "They are just being kids, nothing in it".

 

[gallagher]

The video just shows him to be a mindless gronk.
