    Rule tweaks incoming?

    the softcock administered sports like league, gridiron, and rugby will no longer exist. combat sports though will continue until the end of time

    Rule tweaks incoming?

    Personally I think the only logical outcome is to ban contact entirely. No no, not touch football. That involves contact you barbarians! the winner of all games shall be determined by the coin toss. Safest way to ensure no one gets hurt

    I reckon they may siphon dally M points out of some of the other games this weekend to give more to Nico today

    He did learn a lesson - he’s not cut out for first grade. rugby league is an exclusionary sport. It’s not for everyone, and the people who aren’t good enough aren’t going to have a good time. If you want a game where everyone has a turn go play f**king soccer with their 46 grades of idiots

    The punishment is SUPPOSED to push weak people too far. That is its entire purpose. Strong people will endure it, weak will not and quit. the punishment did its job weeding out a weak individual who is no longer in their squad. Their squad is also looking much better this year too

    So you think the coach is supposed to know how you will feel 2 hours after training somehow? Seems the big difference here in your examples is your own internal mental ability to cope with the work load as opposed to any external actions from others. Plenty of players would feel the same sense...

    Give it a try. Sounds like it should be super easy so I’m sure you can manage it

    Please explain the difference between “exhaustion” and “significant distress” in this case

    They already have a safe word - “I quit”

    the thing that happened was he got his chance in first grade, was dropped for shithouse defence and then given some stick at training that week (before being selected again for first grade to redeem himself) and the weak cat took his bat and ball and went home.

    To a point. Once you have stopped showing up to work for 4 months with no contact to said manager any company is going to let you go. but some sort of chronically bad environment not looking after his mental health is not what is being alleged here. He’s alleging a very acute singular incident...

    if my son is ever good enough to play first grade footy or the equivalent level of any sport I’d expect he’d be put through the ringer in order to get there. the amount of you people trying to compare this to an office worker job or something is truly laughable. I can only assume there’s a big...

    Bullshit. a player breaking down doesn’t automatically mean they are done. The good ones make it through the other side and are better for it. Corey horsburgh started crying during a game a few years back and had to come off. He pushed through and is on the edge of origin these days.

    I’d argue plenty got the same level of punishment. Topine was just the only one who couldn’t handle it and went home in tears. clubs punish players who turn up late. Be it a physical punishment (extra wrestling, running laps til you spew, etc) or a humiliation (dye your hear, shave your head...

    not a chance. I’d say plenty did and they were punished accordingly. Topine is only one that complained about the punishment for being late

    Jackson Topine sues Bulldogs

    his “signs of distress” seem to be that he was crying. Not that he was at risk of some sort of health incident. guy is a soft cock and was found out. I can’t think of a player on the raiders squad who’d be incapable of completing a drill to wrestle everyone else in the squad, because sticky...

    What is your issue with a player participating in wrestling training asked to complete wrestling drills?

    Jackson Topine sues Bulldogs

    Somehow I think if Topine was made to run until he spewed or collapsed he’d feel bullied. The interesting thing to me about the players coming forward is they are universally shithouse and were members of a squad that would struggle to make the finals in reserve grade. So I’m not surprised...
