Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3216953, member: 9853"] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I]NRL Gestapo Chief[B] Andrew Abdo[/B] explains why New South Welshman [B]Kotoni Stagss[/B] must watch his words:[/I] “We have issued him with a [B]$10,000 fine [/B]and most importantly, he has to complete an education course and he has to meet with me personally and the head of integrity, together with the club CEO, before he is permitted to play again. We want him to understand the impact of his words on people and the responsibility that players have to the community. His language is utterly unacceptable but this is about making sure he understands the impact of that and actually changes." “There are three components - the fine, the education course and making sure he sits down with us. Getting them to meet with me is not the silver bullet, but I want to explain to them the impact this has on their personal brand, on the club brand and on the game’s brand and then there are two ways they can go from there. This is important in relation to Kotoni which is why we want to meet with him before he returns to the field.” [MEDIA=youtube]L220PFMkunI[/MEDIA] [I]Confusing rule changes[/I] “Kotoni is an unbelievable athlete, he can be a superstar for many, many years or he can continually transgress and throw away his career. We want him to take the high road, so any opportunity we can take to help Kotoni, we want to do that. Ultimately, he has to be accountable and understand what he has done. We want him to be a superstar, but if he keeps making poor decisions, then there will be consequences for that and he would be throwing away a wonderful opportunity.” [MEDIA=youtube]8PfDro1UGUo[/MEDIA] [I]Australia culture test [B]Staggs [/B]said:[/I] “I know what I did is in the past now. I have nothing against the bloke that it happened to and it’s all aside now. I’m in the process of doing that now. The Broncos welfare officer Adam Walsh and I are doing it together so we’re just sorting out what to do there.” McHunt[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
