All the nutjobs are out in force, but they are probably the very loud bogan minority.

There is a lot of bias from all sides. The referee involved has obviously told his story to reporters, the irrelevancy of his "riot squad" occupation that keeps getting mentioned is noticeable. Fans of other teams will want our players kicked out, reporters will want a ****-fight so that they can report about it instead of doing their actual jobs of reporting the game, and the NRL will want to look tough after all the stuff going down at junior level with parents.

This is a hack job. They verballed a referee at an A-grade game. This is not a front page story, this is a fine and be stood down for a week you ********s story.

We have Eels rorting the cap for the 4th year, soon to be 5th. We have SKD facing 10 charges to so with domestic violence, and yet this is the games biggest story.

But when Jonothan Thurston called the NRL and its refs out as conspiring against the Cowboys............or when JT abused the **** out of the ref at the scrum that time?

Klemmer got 3 weeks for abusing the ref on good friday......infront of millions. FIfitas should get no more than that

The reason the media is relatively quiet regarding the Roosters is because of the seriousness of the charges against SKD. The media aren't allowed to compromise the case for or against him. Whilst Fifita is probably in a fair bit of trouble there is no comparison with SKD situation and can make all the noise they like.

There is no comparison but what has happened now, is the media has painted Fifita x 2 as the villain (which i would assume they are here). So regardless of the outcome of the match review tomorrow or an appeal or judiciary or whatever, they are guilty. So if they get out of it lightly, the media blow up straight away.

There was IMO no grounds to stand anyone down today, short of an admission. It seems David took that option, which makes me wonder about Andrew. He seems to be the guy that has the most to answer for if the reports are true. Is that a beat up or is he just denying it for as long as possible.

Its serious, and a different case to the SKD thing, however, Auva'a played a whole season, pled guilty IIRC, won a grand final, then got suspended by the NRL.
