greg bird and cronulla have now set a benchmark that other teams will be forced to follow.
Load of rubbish. Bird was charged within 12 hours of the alleged incident. Brett Stewart has been
questioned and not yet charged in relation to the incident, and he and the club have issued a public denial of the allegations. This case has very few, if ANY similarities to the Bird saga.
well it don't look that way
where is that stupid picture of Gallop when you need it
You cannot be serious. Gallop has done
nothing wrong. While the allegation is public and the investigation not yet concluded, pulling the ad until he is charged or cleared is the best course of action. The incident, regardless of guilt or innocence (and I don't like this any more than you), has "brought the game into disrepute".
The NRL have virtually said that you're tainted goods now Brett Stewart, by pulling their ad campaign featuring him. He hasn't been charged, and it maybe an innocent incident, but if the club stand him down then they are saying he is as good as guilty till proven innocent.
:lol: They've made a smart business decision to not advertise the #1 player in their 2009 promotion while he is under investigation. They are the facts.
