can you imagine if an NRL player sexually assaulted a female DT journo at the Dally M's?
You cant be serious Monty? Worse than Gary Ablett, Wayne Carey, Ben Cousins, Michael OLoughlin, Brendon Fevola? You need to come out of your glass house old son,I'd like to add my voice in support of the truth of El Diablo's post. There's no question that there's a double standard. League doesn't help its own cause in that it does have the worst examples, but no code is lilywhite in this matter and journos shouldn't pretend otherwise.
Fitzsimons in a hypocrite of the highest order. Fitzsimons picks a narrow target against Rugby League most weeks. Some of his theories for criticising Rugby League are full of lies. Plenty of Union players and officials have been caught out doing stupid things whilst Bundaberg was their major sponsor. I have never once seen an article where he blamed Bundaberg for Union's off field problems,Having said that, Fitzsimons was right too.
I cant think of too many occasions where Rugby League officials have been caught out binge drinking. I think binge drinking with young people today is worse than what it was in the 80sAlcohol is the real demon, not only in the NRL but in all other codes. Then again, alcohol is just the catalyst, the problem is a lack of strong leadership at club level. When the ringleaders of official club pissups are also the team leaders, it legitimises a culture of binge drinking, and it's binge drinking that is the root of the vast majority of these incidents.
Monty you are the typical cheerleader that the AFL sends in after every off field incident. Keep convincing yourself that the AFL has a better off field record in recent times to the NRLAFL has not "solved" this problem any more than the NRL or other codes have, but they are a bit further down the track with their relatively new culture of leadership groups and the Leading Teams concept which is based around team leaders setting a cultural example for the younger players by going straight edge (within reason) and keeping each other toeing the line with rather radical methods like the kangaroo courts that ousted the likes of Jason Akermanis. Not everyone would agree with those methods, but they're at least attempting to break the culture of team bonding through alcohol. Rugby league will eventually have to start going down that path, or something similar to leave the bad old ways behind.

Quite a list there EA
Mathew Primus? Wasn't his crime an alleged 20 dollar bet on a game?
Which one pof those guys was found fefecating in a hotel and continued on to play for their country?
Which one was amorous with his mate's pet?
Wasn't Ben made to work on the image of the game ?Were his mistakes just swept under the carpet?
It seems to me there is a bit of what the journalist in the first post is being accused of being practised by NRL supporters here?

You're an AFL apologis
Seriously, you are the classic example of someone who think he knows about this subject but in reality knows very little.
Whatever AFL are doing isn't working simply because their incident count, which was absymal anyway, went through the roof in 2010.
In my opinon,as long as the NRLand it's supporters continue to view themselves as the best of a bad bunch, they will continue to be a bad bunch
