Message: [QUOTE="Nashy, post: 3009697, member: 1976"] It's all very well to not blame the players. There is absolutely an argument to be had that senior players, and player managers would know better, and I am certainly of the mindset that many knew 100% what was going on with both the money and the drugs back in the day. But, I'm happy to give the big dumb idiots the benefit of the doubt, given most of them can't count to 10 without getting their manager involved to help out. The NRL has been weak with this. Do you truly believe, with the information we have in regard to under the table payments, secondary payments, and promised third party deals, that they would have been able to keep that team together? DO you think it's fair that a team that was assembled illegally, should be able to collect a premiership, and the massive prize money? Prize money that has obviously been wasted since they're broke yet again, only 2 seasons after winning it. To me, it sounds like the NRL just don't want to enact their little "We won't bail you out anymore" clause, because they know taking the prize money and taking the premiership would cause their sponsor (lol singular) to walk away, and they would have to watch one of their Sydney clubs go under. 2016 will always have a star next to it for most fans anyway. Footy fans won't forget 2016, and as far as I'm concerned, they might have their name on the wall, but they will need to win another one for it to mean anything to most in league land. [/QUOTE]
