Message: [QUOTE="Emma, post: 2186812, member: 1772"] In the Greg Bird case, the reason he was stood down was because he lied to the club repeatedly, and made them look like idiots in the process. There was a board member on the radio the other day talking about it and a Cronulla fan rang up and asked why Stewart should be treated any differently and the board member stated Bird was not stood down for any other reason. In this case, Stewart is cooperating with police and appears to be being honest with his club. Completely different circumstance. I realise the charge is a major one, but I still see no need until such time as he is found guilty or admits guilt, that he should be punished. It is hardly fair on the club and fans to stand a player down who may well be innocent for all we know. The majority of the population would get the advantage of being allowed to continue in their jobs if they had simply been charged and not yet convicted, and whilst I realise this isn't some random company that isn't in the spotlight, I really fail to see why this should be treated and differently.
