Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3281340, member: 1992"] Yes, there was much left unsaid about salary caps and drugs. I don't think we need to rehash too much especially about the publics perception and knowledge of events but I think that people should read between the lines a little. By that I mean they should be asking 'why was the punishment apparently so lenient?' . Naturally most will lean towards a conspiracy/favouritism based explanation but I believe the reasons are more complicated. In my mind (after talking at length with my buddy) the NRL carried more fault or had more to hide than most understood. No, I don't have any knowledge and yes, it's just my opinion. Despite what many think Cronulla is very definitely NOT beloved by the NRL ( the Nswrl ) The club was always an outsider and like us, never treated well and unlike St George up the road who were always looked after. They were further alienated after defecting to Super League. The Nswrl never forgave that so people should consider this when making claims that the Nswrl/ NRL are buddybuddy with Cronulla. I believe Cronulla held a trump card of sorts and the NRL punished them as severely as they dared. Whether that was fair or not is not my call. I simply accept it because I am not privy to all the information. [/QUOTE]
