Excellent...so the best way to ensure Melb dont win the comp this year is to pay 3 girls to come out with sexual assult claims against Smith, Cronk and Slater 3 -4 weeks out from the Grand Final ?
And there is the genuine fear that members of the public chasing a pay day for a scoop/photos, will set this up themselves, without anyone having to pay them to do it.
Which is why the NRL dealing with issues outside of the courts is all a bit farcical. Radradra was dropped "for his own good" was the official line, which was a way of saying he is being dropped for disrepute, but the incident hasn't been proved so we'll make up some BS excuse. The Stewart incident has spooked the NRL, they don't want to drop someone for false allegations again, so they have started banning people for their own good (maybe they can call it the Greg Inglis defense...).
"Resting" players "for their own benefit" to sound tough when their is moral outrage through social media, but no proof yet of illegal behaviour, will eventually come back to bite the NRL, when a club/player sues them for loss of income, damaged reputation, and missing out on a chance at a title.
