Barba sacked by Cowboys

I've already said the players weren't absolved of responsibility - they're still at fault.

Todd is still very late to the party by just now deciding DV is something that'll end your NRL career. Most people thought this should've been the case a while ago, back when Todd was eyeballing Matt Lodge.
They are the only ones at fault. No one else. The game has done everything possible for these players. They have zero excuses and the game is absolved of any wrong doing.

This pathetic and non-stop witch hunt of NRL CEO's is f**king absurd and largely a massive joke.

Every time someone uses shit like this to attack Greenberg, they are indirectly taking the blame off the player who did the wrong thing, whether they intended to or not.

It's the NRL's responsibility to rid itself of the players who absolutely drag the image of the game through piles of shit.

And that is where the LEADERSHIP has been piss poor. Greenburger has talked the talk for a long time, eyeballing, spitballing, pleading and threating but never really taking control.

Instead, the NRL is a rehab facility, open to second and third chances for players and is seemingly reluctant to rid itself of the dickheads who take advantage of the charity shown and bring the game into disrepute.

Piss them off. For good. Deregister them. No signing with another club. Goodbye, f**k off.

Again, yes the player is at fault. Stop arguing an undisputed point.

It's no witch hunt, attack or attempting to shift blame to say that Todd looks a bit of a shithead by only now appearing (he's still managed to not actual commit to anything, just a stern "if") to come down hard on DV.

Greenberg has said if the evidence shows Barba has done the wrong thing then he won't play in the NRL again. He's also said he's stamping down on it now.

We can't go back in the past. We can only deal with now.

He's done the right thing here and moving forward and you sit there and shit on him for doing the right thing.

You are a f**king idiot.

Every mention of ' Greenberg should be sacked' is a deflection whether you like it or not.

What ever happened to better late than never, learning from ones mistakes? He's the first boss of the game to finally come out with a zero tolerance on this and you lot are hanging him for it.

If he had've said nothing, would you have said nothing and praised him? Of course not.

You mob are so short sighted and narrow minded that it doesn't matter what good any NRL CEO does, you will still attack them and demand they be sacked. It's childish and pathetic.

But I never did mention "Greenberg should be sacked". Stop making up points to argue that don't exist.

Better late than never? Learning from your mistakes? LOL is he the CEO of a billion dollar sport or the f**king work experience kid?

How could I "say nothing" and "praise" him your made up scenario?

The rest of your post is again addressing points you've invented to argue against. Out of curiosity whats all the other good stuff he's done that overshadows him dragging his feet on this shit, paying the players more to be good boys?

Either It starts now or it starts sometime in the future.

Perhaps he should go back to 1908 and enforce the policy back then?

But yeah, lets all blame Greenberg because no matter how much education they get, they still treat women like shit.

He's treated the players like the adults they are and the players ignore him.

This attitude amongst fans and the media of absolving the players from their mistakes and responsibilities and blaming officials is both pathetic and illogical.

Player is inside the 10 - ref blows a penalty - "These refs are killing the game with all these penalties"

Player beats his wife - Sack Greenberg.

Lets put it into a real world situation shall we. You get caught assaulting a woman. Under your logic, the boss of the business you work for gets fired.

Yeah that makes sense.

Fans need to start accepting that players are adults and are old enough to know better. They shouldn't need babysitters. They shouldn't need a shitload of education and training sessions. We all don't.

But instead Greenberg gets the blame.

And before anyone wants to ignore the crux of my post and call me a Greenberg sympathiser, grow up. I've never said he's a great CEO, nor have I defended him on every issue in the game.

Just apply some f**king logic to the situation.

whoosh

Using this incident to deflect from Barba's wrongdoing to attack Greenberg over all his failures as a CEO, which all combined, have harmed less people than Barba has, is completely f**ked up.

Greenberg chose this incident to finally hint at kicking these f**kers out. It's hardly a deflection to mention his apparent new, tougher stance on DV. It's not like this was his first opportunity this off season.

Ok Todd. We get it.

It all starts ........now.

You are a complete deadshit Maddy.

Greenburger has had ample opportunity to rid the game of players that bring it into disrepute but he loves the rehab angle, the second chances angle, the character reference for good blokes on DUI charges etc etc etc.

This is what happens when you realise eyeballing ain't gonna work...... you roll out the 'it starts now' line. Sure has taken an eon for Toddy to work out his eyeballs aint going to get shit done.


.... and a Maddy meltdown and expletive laiden wet fart in... 3, 2, 1....... EYEBALL!

LEADERSHIP Maddy. When does it start?

Its not like previous CEO's couldn't have brought this policy in either.

Allegedly ol mate had lost $70+ grand on the sponsors pokies and wanted to keep playing which led to a stink with Mrs barba.

Grow up. I'm not Greenberg. And you aren't witty by suggesting it. You just look like a dick.

Leadership is beginning now.

Should he not do anything at all?
