Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2963710, member: 1769"] we shouldn't be comparing the Lodge situation to Carney ... we should be comparing it with how the NRL (and media) handled the Packer situation ... Packer got drunk stomped on a guys head nearly killing him. spent 12 months in jail and the NRL tacked a 12 month ban on him upon his release. Then once his ban was up, he was damn near welcomed back to the NRL without a fuss (or the NRL forcing him to pay compensation to his victim). he was regarded as some sort of redemption story, probably because he signed with a Sydney club instead of us. another "redemption" story that returned to the NRL without any fuss was Danny Wicks, who spent time in prison for drug trafficking. and if you know the family of addicts, then this can have longer lasting effects than what Lodge did (as reprehensible as it was). these are just 2 cases of players getting treated less harshly than Lodge by the media and NRL, for arguably worse offenses [/QUOTE]
