Message: [QUOTE="lynx000, post: 2620609, member: 2065"] [b]re: [Confirmed] Russell Packer --> Panthers[/b] My two cents worth. he has done his time and is entitled an opportunity to try and further his rehabilitation back into society. Should that be at the Broncos, no in my opinion. We have a legacy in this particular position of people like Glen Lazarus, Shane Webcke, and Petero, not only champion players, but champion people who have left a legacy for others to follow. In my opinion it would be shitting on that legacy for this club to sign someone like Packer. Whether others like it or not, we have set a line in the sand with the Club's decision about Dugan. If that was enough for us to walk away from a player, then Packer by his conduct has at this time disqualified himself from being a Bronco. Re his rehabilitation, I can see football being valuable for that, but in my view it should not be at NRL level. He should be required like Carney, to go and play in the country for at least 12 months, be of good behaviour, in fact do some community service like talk to junior players about the dangers of alcohol and violence and the need for restraint. If he did this for a minimum of 12 months and preferably 24 months with an exemplary record, then he could be welcomed back to the NRL. [/QUOTE]
