[QUOTE="rissi_gurl, post: 2202563, member: 1957"] My two cents! SLASH RANT lol! Schmix your just about spot on with everything IMO! I Agree, when you consider that there have been well over 2500 players registered in the NRL over the last 7 years just going off what the program was based on, which was talking about the indiscretions of 50 odd players... it think it paints an accurate picture of society... Peer Pressure is definitely an issue, but age does also play a big factor...unfortunately you can’t pay someone to teach these kids life experience! And we can say that everyone knows right from wrong, but on the other hand I wasn’t particularly surprised when they showed the under 20s the consent video with the guy and the girl scenario, and they couldn’t see that there were there was no difference. David Gallop and the Newcastle Knights deserve a Massive wrap IMO. Gallop didn’t shirk one question, and didn’t sit on the fence either and I thought the access given to the knights players on a broad range of issues was admirable as well... take into account that there would of been a lot of rugby league haters and no nothings watching this... It paints a more accurate picture of where the league its administrators, the players, clubs and fans what our great game to be... and it showed that there are being product steps made towards change by most. The girl in the NZ saga/sharks saga, I feel sorry for her, I think the context of the program last night changed my opinion to a degree of her coming out 7 years later, I can understand her reasoning, she made the wrong choice and in this big bad world there are people who will take advantage of you, I can’t believe that some people on here can understand that she couldn’t leave or how she could feel victimised... Consent is not black and white! and what they did was degrading. She’s been to hell and back, I can understand when she said she'd shoot them if she could, she tried to hurt herself FGS! I’ll be honest here, for perspectives sake I’ve done some really dumb things when I was younger, I used to chased boys that were 6 or 7 years older than me, been drunk and sleep with someone and wondered why I did it the next day, when I didn’t really want to. I’ve been in the position where suddenly I didn’t want to have sex with a guy even though by all accounts id consented to it, and it’s scary, I was about 16 and he was 23 or 24 and I had no idea how I was going to get out of it, you can’t tell me when you don’t know when a girl has changed her mind because I didn’t say anything to him, he just looked at me and said if you don’t want to do this that fine, and he was drunk... that was it, I didn’t have to hear about it or have people judge me for it... I can take responsibility for what I’d done, I meet him at a club, I was too young to even be there legally, but fark I was relieved and I knew I got lucky... I sure as hell have never been there again! My whole family are massive RL fans ive got older cousins playing in the NRL and super league and a lot of younger ones playing in the lower grades, I was always at the football, and I got told by my dad that if I ever went off with any of the older boys from the club exactly what would happen and that id get my arse kicked by him when he found out. we used to always have nrl pre-season games and training camps coming to town, I couldn’t tell you the amount of times me and my cousins got asked to "come back to someone’s hotel room"... it always surprised me how fast they actually cut to the chase and the better they played, the more forward they were... one player - this was at like a training session, kids everywhere middle of the day you get the picture - who has huge profile and is still playing asked me how old I was he said you look like your 18 or 19, but your friends look younger, I bet your the same age I told him I was 15 and he still hit me up, but I knew how to say no and why to say no, and I have never been with an nrl player... But there are a lot of girls who idolise these players, and want to have sex with them and for as long as there a girls like palavi who’s 38 by the way swing themselves around dumb young players are going to participate... And that was my problem with the program last night, for all the good points it made this is not just a nrl or even a professional sports problem it’s not even really a gender problem, both sexes are to blame, it’s a culture that exists right throughout our society... so it’s not really fair that the ugly spotlight has been put on the NRL, I think its shows we must have the stupidest players of all the codes!
