Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2912972, member: 8988"] What amazes me in all this is the Broncos are copping it for something lodge did whilst at the tigers two years ago. We have two convicted criminals and any number of minor miscreants playing the game (not to mention the ones who get it swept under the carpet) and now the broncos are the bad guys. I, like a few others would like the nrl to set the bar high morally for our players. But the shear hipocracy being thrown about one player at one club defies all credibility. If they want this discussion, be prepared for a lot of clubs (in a lot of other sports too) to feel the burn. It's like he is the first player to have been in trouble, he's not! When ex footballers start throwing mud (knowing they were in the thick of it), safe that theirs has dried, I feel enraged. Some have had rape allegations, others domestic violence, some had serious drug abuse and were implicated in sexual abuse, but rich men with big pockets let them get away with it. They take the moral high ground whilst supporting binge drinking and "partying" like it's the done thing. For footballers maybe, but the rest of us grow up, knuckle down, and learn a thing called self-dicipline. Something that seems lacking in both football, but also the media culture. [/QUOTE]
