Come on Greenberg.....let's see you come in over the top of the Storm and give Bromich the same punishment.

I applaud the Titans for going above the safe option of following the Storm's piss weak effort.

4 is still not enough for mine, but a hell of a lot more palatable than 2 weeks.

Exactly consistency, which the nrl has been over the past 2/3 years. Instead, over the past 4 pages we have had manly idiots still crying over something from 9 years ago and using that as an example of how the nrl Is being inconsistent now.

You brought up the Brett Stewart you idiot, not any Manly supporter.

Sharks, Roosters Lose Sponsorship; Report

Cronulla and the Sydney Roosters have reportedly lost more than $1 million in sponsorship over the NRL's cocaine scandal.

Infinity Group Australia has informed the Sharks and Roosters they are withdrawing their backing after both clubs' names had been dragged through the mud over the past five days, according to News Corp Australia.

The clubs appear set to pay a hefty toll for the saga, with the financial advice company reportedly pulling its two-year deal for the Sharks' back-of-jersey sponsorship worth $700,000 and ripping up its $300,000 contract with the Roosters.

maybe it's time for nrl clubs to sue the nrl or the nzrl?

Titans had the benefit of gauging the reaction of Melbourne's punishment, who knows what they would have come up with if they got in first

Yeah I know mate.

Hopelessly living in hope that one day that incompetent piece of shit will do SOMETHING right.

Man I'd love to see that trackhead walking down the street one day to politely convey my thoughts on his tenure as CEO.......and just his general human shittiness.

Jesus.... let's just say they did a better job than Melbourne.

What has the NRL done to over-rule the Storm punishment? Bugger all. So why would the Titans go extra to placate the NRL?

Hypothesising about what they MAY have done........

So do the players accept this type of loss should come off their income split in the collective bargaining agreement or is that 'unfair'?

He goes to a coffee shop in Oatley.
It's on the train station side in a little group of shops across from the park and pub.
Dunno know the name of it.
It's the only one there.

You're welcome.

they'd argue that the revenue loss is club related not nrl, but it's up to nrl to stand up right now to the rlpa in negotiating these terms

The only reason the Storm and Titans asked the NZRL for a 'please explain' was to put the blame on NZRL so that they could then justify lenient club sanctions on the players.

Seems like many NRL clubs lack real integrity and will do whatever they can get away with to not risk poor on-the-field results. So Bromwich gets two weeks because the NZRL were failed babysisters and thus their fault, while SKD is stood down indefinitely because there was no NZRL to blame.

I'm not really sure what an appropriate penalty is for these incidents but sure as hell know that 2 weeks from Melbourne is pathetic.

I'd suggest 6-8 NRL games minimum, plus some cash, plus loss of leadership roles

The game's governance is simply appalling on all levels.

The NRL paid most of the game fees for the kiwi's players, and it is the 'game' itself bought into most disrepute (rather than the clubs) so they should be the ones issuing out harsh penalties.

Can't have the better run club outdoing an NRL run one ol' mate, whatever Bart did Greenberg had to up the ante otherwise Campbell would have again been proven the better man.. The Turd's not thinking of RL, just pushing his barrow . . . maybe Melbourne weren't consulted

All players in these circumstances should be stood down for the season and loose their pay . . . but their clubs should be allowed under the cap to find a substitute

I said nothing about anyone bringing it up. I did bring it up first however and still stand by my comments. You blokes are the ones who have carried on with it. Maybe you need to see a therapist about your Stewart issues?

I have to say I'm surprised that titans have handed down 2 weeks more than the storm. So much for club unity. I would have to think that the Nrl would have to now give browmich the same as proctor.

Therefore:
Browmich has received 2 nrl games, 6 World Cup games, dropped also from storm leadership group and as nz captain. Plus $20k and ($100k WC).
Proctor has received 4 nrl games, 6 World Cup games, dropped from titans leadership group as co-cap. $20k ($100k wc).

The Nrl still is yet to apply any punishment as yet.

Should the nrl introduce some sort of fine system? I hardly think missing a game when there is so much media attention on the player after a issue is that bad. Personally I would like that as a player. Now clubs and fans have been let down by players numerous times and been suspended (therefore causing fans team to lose or play bad) but does that acutually teach them a lesson? Would a 25%, 50%, 75% of yr wage be the deterrent they need?

Who raised the issue is irrelevant. You don't seem to be able to grasp the simple part of the whole thing.

Whether it was Brett Stewart, Braith Anasta, Dally Messenger. Whoever. At the time when Brett Stewart was stood down by the NRL for 4 games, that right there was their line in the sand, and the time when they decided on what sanctions were to be put in place (I can't really remember the NRL stepping in before that and handing down sanctions).

What Brett Stewart did or did not do is irrelevant. The NRL stood him down for reasons of bringing the game into disrepute. They stood him down for 4 weeks. Therefore, any subsequent player that is considered to be doing the same must have the same sanction brought upon them, as an absolute minimum.

This whole thing is the NRLs doing, and they have to show a spine when it comes to these issues.
