Message: [QUOTE="Organix, post: 2775984, member: 8187"] This is the problem. While I am all for bending with the wind, the problem lies in the fact that all of this media pressure is just hot air spouted by gas bags. I seriously hope that the NRL take a step back at the end of this season and critically and objectively assess where they went wrong and where they went right. I truly believe that if the judiciary was impartial and consistent then fans would still gripe but they would ultimately have to accept the decision. In this case we all knew Roberts was guilty of something and did need a sit down. Our collective issue was with the fact that there was a HUGE amount of wiggle room and discrepancy preceding the case compounded by the media clearly holding sway with the ruling officials. The NRL needs a clear, concise impartial and firm stance on all issues guided diplomatically by the [B]fans [/B]expectations and not by the media. In the current format the squeaky wheels get the grease and in this case the wheels have several methods of getting their voice heard. Do the NRL ever do a decent fan survey? Do they ask fans their opinion? If they do they I would implore everyone to express themselves clearly and intelligently without too much bias so that we can get the NRL to a standard where we all enjoy the contest regardless of the outcome. This would ensure that the media has less sway over rulings and consistent, fair rulings are given. Also, I would suggest that an external audit be performed on the NRL system to ensure no corruption or bias is present. [/QUOTE]
