The fixation on our club is blinding people about what happens at other clubs and the notion that successful clubs have no off field issues and that off field issues are what precludes us from playing semi final football is simply laughable.Again you miss the point. Neither player should be sacked and most people who have played, coached or supported RL like a quiet one but do we get so drunk we lose our memories, do we get so drunk that we want to cause a scene or a fight, do we get so drunk that we get into our cars to drive home and take a chance that we may not injure or kill someone?? There has to be consequences for our own actions if not then we accept that behaviour to be normal. Both should have been dropped and the coach told to control his players or the club will find someone who will. Our lack of discipline, our current culture is being reflected by our on field performances especially over the last 3 seasons and surely nobody supporting the club is happy with that. Mark my words this team and club are divided and we are no chance of playing semi finals football again this season.
Penrith had player issues under Cleary
Broncos under Bennett
Storm under Bellamy
Manly under Hassler
Cronulla under Flanagan
Cronulla under Morris
Dogs in Coffs Harbour
Cowboys under Payten
Knights under several coaches
Titans under several coaches
Raiders under Sticky
Qld SOO under Walters and others
NZ national side
Kangaroo sides
FFS we had it under Frank Facer
It’s not a new phenomenon and will never be stamped out.
Rava & Musgrove wouldn’t trouble the Richter scale in the real world.
