Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2499634, member: 8215"] [b]Re: Tamou Done For DUI[/b] 100% correct, and it will send a message out to other potential d!ckheads playing League that it's not tolerated. And to those who think that players aren't role models, shouldn't be role models, and their private lives should be seperate from their profession, I'm sorry, but that is in no way correct. They're basically part of Australia's biggest reality TV show. RL itself prides itself on appealing to the blue-collar type, the knockabout, the exact type of person who's likely to have a beer or two after a big day. Or three. Or five. It's these people that need to have a stern reminder that ignorance is not an excuse, and that no matter who you are it [I]should[/I] impact on your livelihood as a reminder, whether it means your missus has to grudgingly drive you to work every day, or you have to catch the bus, whatever. Remember, these guys are getting paid to be on show. They want the big dollars, well sorry to say it, the big dollars come from advertising and sponsorship. If they don't want to be a role model, let them give up their 3rd party sponsorships. Give up the portion of salary that comes from club sponsorship or from the NRL via advertising. If they don't want to be a role model, let them play for match payments of $1000 a game. Let's see how long it is before they want their dollars, and they'll see that doing the right thing isn't necessarily so hard. [/QUOTE]
