Nah, piss them off. It's just going from one endemic crisis to the next. I'm starting to wonder what is going to surface next. Quit all the bollocks about player confidentiality (if they have nothing to hide, why can't they sign waivers?) and name the players so that the club can distance itself from the allegations.
The game of rugby league is rapidly becoming a joke as a result and, if this expands beyond the Bulldogs and Melbourne, is at serious risk of imploding. What sponsor in their right mind would want to have their product associated with corruption, rape allegations, and drug taking? If this continues, it is not outside the realm of possibility that sponsors will leave the game in droves and, without the corporate dollars, the game is stuffed.
The NRL needs to protect its own interests by acting quickly and severely. By sitting on their hands, legal mumbo jumbo aside, it only appears that they are weak as water and condoning this behaviour.
