So, would there be any repercussions for the club if they give him a couple of weeks suspension and the NRL come in over the top and say it's not enough?
I really don't see any reason why we should apply a harsh penalty and rub him out for the year. If the NRL want to do it, let them do it.
Why do we have to sit here and second guess what they think of it?
I feel the NRL are conducting a little experiement of sorts. Leaving it up to the Clubs, but letting them know they can (so far I don't think they have done so) overrule a weak decision made in favour of the Club over the game itself.
I remember the NRL talking alot about getting Clubs up to a standard. Things like for a Club to receive their total available grant money they'd have to achieve certain criteria within their business.
Personally I don't mind the approach of letting Clubs handle their own problems and only stepping in if its bull****. Clubs want their autonomy - they've got it. But with that power comes responsibility and the NRL will act if they don't meet that responsibility.
I say get the boys to make a few comments about the incident. Get the media to talk as much **** as they possibly can that isn't about the game itself. Cowboys come in and think we are a wreck but we trolled the media the whole time and smash them 40-6. We find out that the ref was fifitas cousin the whole time and he just took a trip to Bali just for the sake of it and the media look like dicks and there is a photo of the ref and the twins laughing their ass off
I like the idea up until it got strange.
