They should play the useless merkin this weekend
It'd be hilarious...he's done

The argument isn't ridiculous at all. The NRLs sanction may or may not have been ridiculous. But when they handed it down, they drew the line in the sand.
Really? What exactly are these standards? If they had standards in place, then the players would be banned for X number of weeks. No ifs, no buts, no maybes.
They make no mistakes, because they make no decisions. And it's why fans walk away from the game in droves.
Understand this - you are the one with the bias in this, because you are the one that supports the team that have failed, spectacularly, to hand out an adequate punishment.
You cannot for a single second think that neither Proctor not Bromwich can't remember what they did. If they were as drunk as they claim, so drunk they can't remember, then the liquor licensing board should be charging the nightclub involved with serving intoxicated patrons. We all know it's garbage.
The Roosters have stood SKD down indefinitely. The Titans have stood down Proctor for 4 weeks. Ask Corey Norman how he feels about his 8 week ban. And here we have Melbourne standing a player down for 2. It reeks.
And the roosters have stood down skd because that have an out to get rid of a highly paid player for tedesco.
or get filmed performing a sex act
consorting with known criminals
Whether you feel browmich or proctors excuse is garbage or not is complete heresay because no one but them would know the real answer, so stop pretending you do
It's not as easy as just banning a player the same for every indiscretion. That's just rediculous. Plenty of ifs, plenty of bits and plenty of maybes.
So one bloke gets 4 weeks for snorting coke off a drug dealers phone
The bloke sitting next to him gets 2 weeks for snorting the line next to it off the same phone
...and cops have CCTV footage of the whole thing
Hmmmm
Sounds pretty much like the storm are taking the piss.
The guy who is off contract at the end of the year anyway? Pretty sure they don't have to pay him after that.
Consentual and not illegal
Again, last I looked, not illegal.
Oh look - an ostrich. I wonder when it will pull its head out of the sand.
Actually, yes it is. Look at ASADA. You get caught taking a banned substance, it's 2 years. No ifs. buts or maybes. An organisation with any credibility would set the penalties in place. But the NRL has none.
Anyway, that's my last comment on this. There is no point in this conversation because you clearly refuse to accept what everyone else knows, and that is that they are guilty of what they are accused of. If they weren't, they would go the SKD route and offer to have a hair follicle sample test. You can keep your head in the sand, keep your blinkers on, keep your eyes closed, whatever you need to do so you don't see or accept the truth. The rest of us are happy knowing the truth, and knowing that the penalty is piss weak, just like the NRL.
Shhhh
You clearly don't understand the complexities of the situation.
Stormgimp82 will be along shortly to set you on the right path.
Wouldn't doing blow off drug dealers phone you just bought it off be classified as consorting with criminals?
Can't add anything of subsatnace so resort to insult?? Do you act like this at home when someone doesn't agree with you?

But I can accept you think they both should get 2 yrs. let's just agree to disagree
Well that's a good point. I'm no lawyer but i believe it was for consorting with "known criminals" and the law was in regard to bikies and Bikie gangs. Im happy to be told otherwise.
I thought ASADA took the piss!?!
Oh, this is getting messy.
He's got two weeks and a World Cup. If he had tested positive he would have got zero for a first offence. The problem is not in two weeks or four weeks, it's in lack of nrl direction and consistency.
It is a worry, you think Dank has spread his tentacles further than Cronulla and Essendon?I don't think the amount of times they got busted is the issue.
The whole straight after a test match with it all on captured on video is a bit of an issue
That in itself should be enough for the NRL to crack it.
Blokes get the same for touching a ref by accident.
It does make you wonder what's been going on down in Melbourne though.
