IMO.This is where everyone is losing the plot.
I've even seen and heard the Creepin Jesus Wayne Bennett make comment on this.
Paul Gallen is not ET, ET is not Yippety Yippety the fish kisser. (Yippety took a dump in a bucket on a fishing trip, was filmed and there was all hell to play) ET is not David Gallop.
We are all different. Some blokes can't help but be nice guys and get set on very high markers. Some are natural at it.
Why must every aussie bloke that straps up a rugby league bootlace automatically have to become Mary McKillop.
The world has changed as we know it, but can't the working mans game keep some of its raw characters without being burnt in hell by doo gooders.
Did you know that one of the games immortals took a piss on the field during a pommy tour. Did so with the blessing of the referee.
These blokes like Gallen are not permitted to defend themselves in this day and age, they are guilty by way of employment, they are league players. And no one is standing up for them, where is the players union on all of this.
If I played for a gutless club like ours that didn't back its players - never has - never will apparently - then I would be really looking forward to contract expiry time and moving on or having it in negogiations that the club owed me an extra 20G for past incidentals. (Gallens case)
And you really want to know why todays game has no characters left. Just programmed robots.
The whole scene creamed 'emselves last season when Maddog and Wendall put on a show at Jubilee. The press couldn't get enough of it. "Great for the game" etc etc.
They (the NRL) through the current system have taken that whole aspect out of the modern game. We have no characters left to entertain us - oh unless you call the choreographed performances after tryscoring entertaining - oh yeah I saw that on the gridiron 8 years ago when the big negro blokes would do the moonwalk.
Give me a running fued, a stink, a player that will try something different, a no holds barred warrior.
ET was one in a thousand.... thousands. Ingliss is poetry in motion on the paddock too. But he has a few problems, a bit more serious then having a piss late at night. But he still has the 100% support of his club, state and country.
After this season and the going ons of the top clubs compared to the going ons of the lower ranked clubs and how they handled internal problems I honestly thought our club would show us something new and back its players and its star players, but alas, nothing has changed.
Good dog, heel, fetch the stick, sit..........good boy...... good boy.
