Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2620532, member: 1899"] [b]re: [Confirmed] Russell Packer --> Panthers[/b] It's a very interesting moral question. In my view, as a fan, I honestly do care about the conduct of the player's and their capacity to behave off the field. It's a professional sport and if they have the type of blemish Packer has, I'm sorry to all the resident Packer fans, but I don't want him here. I don't begrudge another NRL club signing him, that's their perogative and there has been stories in the past (particularly on Suaia Matagi) about players being able to turn their lives around after serving a sentence and that's nice but that's up to another club. It isn't just the fact that he engaged in unlawful conduct, but rather the nature of his violent act. I can't respect a person who attacks somebody when their down, ever. But that's just my view. Looking beyond that, would I want Packer at the club? Honestly, no. I don't think he'd be a terrible signing, mind you, but I just believe we have enough prop forwards as is and signing Packer would just hurt our ability to address other positions that need refining.
