Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3001174, member: 8988"] Unfortunately (or fortunately if your not a certain type of player), the era where certain off-field incidents can be swept under the rug are well and truly gone. The 24-hour news cycle demands the feeding of clickbait, and the powers that be that run these news sites will never give up a story of bad behaviour. Whilst young men will make mistakes, some of the recent points to a positively poisonous relationship with alcohol and drugs that have been left to fester too long. That women are treated as little more than accessories by some, and others having no understanding of what lewd actions can cause to their careers speaks volumes to failure from the highest to lowest levels of rugby league. The NRL, clubs and soon the vast majority of players have woken up, after several years of scandal that the status quo is not good enough. It will likely cost a few very promising players and a lot of others with potential but if it leads us to place without NRL players facing jail time, beating up girlfriends on tv, wrecking and terrorizing families, or just generally being obnoxious for the sake of it, it will be worth it. Perhaps Segeyaro will get another chance, perhaps not. I just hope, if he does he proves he has earned it and learnt from what has left him serving coffee instead of doing what he loves. If not, he will learn the skills for a modern footballer run deeper than tries and tackles and extend to their value as members of society as well, that does not elevate them from sanction based on skill.
