Circle the pharken wagons and don't let the NRL or the tabloids make an example out of some of our best bloody players.
If this were James Graham - someone who gives **** to the refs every week live on TV - we wouldn't be seeing this reaction. The 'world is against us woe is us' thing is usually just plain delusional but its equally delusional that different Clubs and players carry more clout in this ****fest and we're perrenially face down in the mud. The media will milk this for all its worth because its juicy and its an easy target.
So circle the pharken wagons and address it according to our bloody timetable. The boys probably fugged up but its hardly the worst accusation made in the last week so fine em, get them to make an apology and do some promotional work about not being a dick at local RL. Done, move on and for Sludge's sake don't let this be any bigger than what it is - storm in a teacup.
