Message: [QUOTE="Sirlee oldman, post: 2995164, member: 8915"] I am happy to go along with you on that but it’s only part of the long term solution. It needs a more complex approach. Teaching boys to think about the kind of man they want to be and why they will have happier and more fulfilled lives if they achieve that and the pressures and distractions they can expect to have to overcome should start in primary school. Mentors should be part of all boys lives. More men should feel comfortable teaching at the primary level. Discipline should be consistent throughout childhood and strategies for dealing with issues should be taught. NRL clubs sign kids pretty young these days. Many of these kids go to school and big note themselves and the attitude of entitlement begins. The clubs should be intensively educating and demanding high standards from these boys before the really big problems begin. The game as a whole should be spending some of its enormous revenue in local junior clubs helping kids who don’t have the talent to make the NRL as well. Severely punish those who offend now if you want but the way to guarantee the problem will be much reduced in decades to come is to change the way we raise and teach boys today. [/QUOTE]
