Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2470561, member: 1950"] This whole thing just shits me to tears with its greyness, and the greyness trying to be turned into blackness by the press. My 65 year old dad was given Warfarin after heart surgery (and is still on it). Terrible drug with so many undesirable side effects (heart palpitations, depression, fatigue, weight gain). When that is being administered to healthy young football players, you've got to question the actual concern for player welfare. The NRL spends so much money on education programs about alchohol and domestic violence to protects its image, it should educate young players on their right to say no to team doctors and sports scientists or coaches or get a second opinion from their independent GP. Young blokes are very impressionable, I think it's got to be a senior playing group encouraged culture. I can see how at a Manly's "win at all costs", "it's the world versus us" take every point, question every decision club culture that this bending of the rules attitude could permeate. The old blokes in the corner bar would say the professional-ising of the game is to blame. [/QUOTE]
