Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2495079, member: 1950"] I've thought about this... When you consider this is rugby league's show piece, the crown jewels and the Maroons have an impeccable image as a team every Queenslander can be proud of, the underdog that came good, the Qld'er spirit that plays fair but gets hardly done by NSW administration and its dirty tricks with the judiciary and selections over the years; the risk, however marginal, of this turning into an assault charge down the track and the Maroons having played Te'o during the investigation should warrant him stepping aside or being stood down. He's not even that vital of a cog in the team or in form. He'll play 20-30 minutes in a basic role in the game plan that Papalli can and would perform just as well. Mal's honourable but misguided sense of loyalty will see him undone here. The lack of decisive action has just undermined the NRL integrity unit and ultimately Dave Smith and the commission. The damage is already done in that regard. If Souths/Te'o had been completely forthcoming then they might deserve the benefit of the doubt. A good leader makes unpopular decisions. [/QUOTE]
