Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3277070, member: 9853"] [I][B]Staggs:[/B][/I] "It’s really important for me to work hard at being a role model for all those kids who look up to me as an NRL player. I understand that I have to set a better example and think about the consequences of my actions for myself, my family, my club and for the game of rugby league." “I’ve made mistakes but I’m committed to making sure that my behaviour is something I can be proud of in the future.” [I][B]Donuts:[/B][/I] “We’re committed to educating our players to help them understand the importance of their role and their place in the wider community. Kotoni wants to grow as a person and we want to provide him with the support and the education that can help him become the best role model that he aspires to be.” [I][B]Abdo [/B][/I](earlier): “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." “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." “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.” McHunt [/QUOTE]
