Message: [QUOTE="Bull Shark, post: 2640633, member: 7690"] yet funnily enough, the truth or the line or whatever you want to call it probably lays somewhere in between... I can understand those who want to tar every sharks player with the same brush in terms of their responsibility, but within any playing group nowadays there are so many different personality types and cultural differences, especially given the number of polynesian guys that are in the NRL. And it's these young islander blokes who I sympathise with greatly because the vast majority of them are pretty naive to a lot of things going on around them besides what they're doing when they're on the field with a football in their hands. So I believe it's entirely possible that some sharks players just went with the flow on this, trusting the word of the people who administered the supplements / drugs and the senior players who supposedly gave them the green light in these meetings. Having said that, nobody but these players themselves will ever really know their intent when this stuff was happening - ie whether deep down they knew what they were doing was wrong or whether they were just genuinely naive enough not to think harder about it for themselves. imo the buck really stops with those people who knew this program was outside the rules but decided to go through with it anyway. At the end of the day, I hope the one big positive change to come of out of this whole sordid mess is that players of all ages and cultures and backgrounds ect learn that they need to be fully cognisant and 100% responsible re anything and everything they do and take - because ignorance is no longer acceptable.
