Oh shit he pretended to gallop after scoring a try, everyone get your pitchforks, how dare he do that, Gallop has done no wrongdoing at all :roll:
Snake doing that 2 years after he copped that ban was pathetic. He doesnt do that and his image as a nice bloke who just wanted to play footy and forget the rubbish stays alive. And innocent as he was of the charge, if the face of the game didn't get hammered a few days after the season launch, and if the club itself didnt pump their players full of booze.......
That's gotta be the most logical thing I've seen you write Bunniesman. The thing is, the media may not have made it what it ended up being if Gallop hadn't hang-drawn and quartered Stewart before the case began. Gallop had found him guilty and was going to make an examply of him but it all backfired when it turned out that not only was Stewart not guilty of sexual assault but he had also not been kicked out of the Wharf bar as was claimed. Brett has every right to feel hard done by with regards to the NRL. The media are what they are, selfish vultures who feed off everyone's pain and suffering, but the NRL should have stood by Stewart until such time as he was found guilty. Had it been Darren Lockyer that was wrongly crucified by the NRL and the media there would be plenty of outcry but because it was a Manly player the majority of the rugby league world just accepted it.
The club having a massive booze up publicly which ended up with 2 of their stars accused of gross antisocial behaviour had nothing to do with it?
2 facts: 1) Snake is sober, no allegation of sexual assault. 2) NRL doesnt stand him down, Cronulla rightly go apesh*t after dumping Greg Bird during a semi finals campaign, which the NRL backed.
I dont hear Manly fans include Bird's case in their rants.
The problem in this one is obviously Peters who seems to be trying to drum up sympathy for Stewart.
It's that sort of article that will do the opposite of what Peters intended. I'd be livid if I were Stewart.
Exactly. The whinging is ingrained at Manly. It comes from the top.
I have no doubt that Peters is getting this into the media with the intention of finding someone to sponsor Stewart. I doubt it is a whinge.
It is definitely a whinge!
Furthermore, no Manly fan should EVER complain about duff referee calls. Farah's pass was not intentionally forward. Have you guys forgotten the premierships you won because referees favoured Manly ffs?????? 1976 and 1978?????
), however any ensuing discussion would make for a fantastic debate.
