All contracts have to be reinterpreted now this event has occured.

I didnt say automatically you stupid prick I said this one was going to and it has.
So just f**k off with your lies and incorrect crap.

You said "All contracts have to be reinterpreted". Its right there in the post you made.

Looks like you do not even understand the difference between the word "renegotiated" and "reinterpreted" .
Here is some good advice just for you from a mate. Drop all the bitter anger, swearing, name calling and general stupidity. You are really coming across like a 3 year old wanker.

Probably the best friend you have

I do appreciate that indigenous people have their own culture and as a health care worker I’m pretty accepting of that. In this case them using the excuse that it was a cultural thing is an insult to the people of that culture. They just wanted to go have fun with their mates and when they got caught fell back on a convenient excuse.

The NRL needs to come down on them with harsh punishments. They put their communities at serious risk and jeopardised the NRL’s entire plans. f**k both of em.

Do these two have agents and managers?

How was the first thing that happened when this came out their managers not calling them, telling them to stay the f**k off social media for the next week and let them handle it?

The way they just keep doubling down on this is mind boggling.

As a middle aged fuddy duddy old merkin Dad I can confidently say that NRL players are less mature about social media than my 4 kids.

Latrell Mitchell's mental health would be a massive concern if he was banned for the season over his camping trip, NRL great Sam Thaiday says.

Mitchell copped a police fine and is may face a playing ban after hosting a camping trip on his NSW North Coast property, which included fellow Test player Josh Addo-Carr.

Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga has suggested the trip, a glaring breach of social distancing rules during the coronavirus crackdown, could cost both players their Australian jerseys.


Coaching great Phil Gould went further, saying that both players should be banned for the season for undermining the NRL's efforts to relaunch on May 28 amid strict quarantine measures.

Thaiday told The TODAY Show that he feared the impact such a heavy sanction might have on Mitchell, who had a tumultuous 2019 in which he was dropped from the NSW State of Origin team, changed managers and switched clubs from the Sydney Roosters to South Sydney Rabbitohs.


"The boys have made a mistake, a massive mistake. There's a lack of common sense there," Thaiday said.

"If they get banned for the whole season, I don't think that's a great thing. I think there's a great opportunity on the other side of this for those boys to really give back to the community. Put a fine system in place, but I'd still love to see those boys get back out there and play some football this year.

"That [a season ban] would definitely send a massive message to the boys, but I don't think in a season that's already been interrupted through this COVID-19 situation, I don't think sitting those boys out for a prolonged period is going to help them, both physically and mentally as well.

"We saw Latrell Mitchell last year go through what was a bit of a rollercoaster, emotionally and as a rugby league player. I think the best thing for those boys at the moment is to get back out there, get training and get playing some football."

However, Gould doubled down on his season ban call on Tuesday, having first suggested the sanction on Monday night on 2GB.

"I think over my history I've shown plenty of compassion and understanding to players on a whole range of issues, but sometimes you need to wield a big stick and i think this is one of those occasions," Gould told The TODAY Show.

"[Their apology] shows they knew it was wrong. They apologised immediately after they were exposed on social media, which means they knew right from wrong. They made a choice, they made a very bad choice and they've put everything in jeopardy.

"They've put themselves in harm's way, they've put their teammates in harm's way, they've put the game in a difficult position and certainly the leaders of our game, who have been trying to portray to governments that we can responsibly follow protocols and get our game back on track for the good of the community.

"Our leaders have been telling the government that we're capable of that and then we have an incident like this on the weekend, I'd see there was a few raised eyebrows in government corridors today."


Gus doubles down on season ban call
Gould said that there should be fewer problems keeping players in line once they were back under the wing of their clubs. Training resumes on Monday and Gould said that governments would be looking to see how Mitchell and Addo-Carr were dealt with.

"Most of the troubles that we have with players are when they're left to their own devices," he said.

"Not all of them, obviously, it's just a small percentage are spoiling it for the rest of them. This was a serious breach of trust. Forget about other laws that might have been broken or the irresponsibility of it or the stupidity of it, it was a serious breach of trust.

"It's putting themselves above everything else and everyone else in the game. It puts their teammates at risk.

"Players tend to be a little bit bonded in this regard, 'Oh well, that's just Latrell, that's just Josh'. That's why it's for the leaders of our game to send that statement and we need to send it to all our players.

"This is going to be a very difficult time for them. I feel for our players at the moment, because these are extraordinary times. We're all going through it.

"But that's what has to be done at the moment, that's the commitment we all make to each other, that's the community spirit. It's unfortunate these boys just haven't seen it that way.

"I'm sure the government is looking to see how the game deals with this, and so to all other players. This [a season ban] is a strong message that needs to be sent.

"I'm sorry that it's Latrell and Josh, I've got nothing against them personally, but anyone who we come across with these actions and put the game and their teammates in such jeopardy needs to be made an example of at this time."

Mitchell and Addo-Carr's actions have thrown into doubt the capability of rugby league players to follow extreme isolation measures in order to resume the competition, whether in a team environment or not.

Thaiday said he was hopeful that the majority of players could be trusted, saying that the NRL's resumption was important to its fans.

"I hope we can trust them. I think as Australians, we're all sitting back looking for a little bit of normality in our lives, and I think sport is that normality," he said.

"This is definitely a lesson for all NRL players out there, to make sure that they are following the social distancing rules that are put in place, because we don't want this to spread. We'd love to see our game back on television, we'd love to see the boys back out there playing, giving all Australians a bit of normality.

"Hopefully this is the lesson learned for all NRL players, that we have to abide by the same rules as everybody else."


And now the mental health card gets bought out regarding punishment.

The biggest charge should be for being dumb f**ks.

I don't think their actual actions are that big a deal. They didn't have a raging party or anything like that with no other laws being broken.

The problem is their employers are trying to convince the government that they can effectively quarantine everyone before the comp restarts.

So ok they break the rules, they are unlikely to be the only ones if we are fair dinkum but the dopes take and post photos of it.

They of course get caught by the media. If at this stage they just apologise and say something like " we made a gross error in judgement and profusely apologise and accept any punishment coming our way", I would say just cop the fine and a week or two and let's move on.

But no, these geniuses need to make every excuse possible from reconnecting to the land to outright claiming they are being mistreated because they are black.
No Other laws being broken??? Discharging a firearm without a license, riding an unregistered vehicle on the beach, there is a couple of laws they broke.
