Mad Monday

[LineBall]

Bulldogs fined $250,000 for Mad Monday - reported on NRL.com

Edit: The Marshall beat me to it.

$250k is Utterly ridiculous.

 

[mave]

I wanted 100k, in the interests of consistency.
Hopefully it gets reduced to that amount on appeal.

 

[Woody49]

I wonder what my mob did on Mad Monday.

Expensive pss up!
Next year Bulldogs should let the players organise mad monday on their own, no official function, let the boys go for it lol

 

[Pommy]

$250,000 for some blokes getting pissed up, the NRL have really lost the plot on this.

 

[Timbo]

If the Bulldogs just said 'no', I wonder what the league would do.

 

[The Marshall]

The NRL have made a huge rod for their own back now!

 

[Perth Red]

Does seem harsh considering:
Only three players photo'd doing anything remotely bad
On private premises except the up chucker
Nothing illegal or interfering with anyone else
No one hurt, no damage, o one insulted

Yes its a shame the News ltd scum decided to do what they did, yes Bulldogs players and staff could have done better, is it worth $250k? Pleeeease.
f**k our soft administrators and there weakness in confronting the games biggest damagers, news ltd.

Probably deduct it from their grant for next season if they went that way.

 

[The Marshall]

Probably deduct it from their grant for next season if they went that way.

I'm almost certain that is how they take all fines out anyway.

Got a link to the photos?

Don't know about those photos, but the Bulldogs look as if they are paying for the most expensive photos, since the invention of the I Phone.
Newcastle did the right thing took their players NTH Qld well away from prying eyes.
A pub in inner Sydney,yep that'll keep the paps away.

I wonder if Todd will make an appearance on VB Friday Night Football or Bundaberg Rum Super Saturday to explain his position?

 

[Spade]

Pay has to go, he was there he allowed it to happen, players obviously don't respect the bloke, sack him asap

 

[Timmah]

One thing this does do is put to rest any suggestion Greenberg somehow protects the Bulldogs.

 

[The Marshall]

Elliott and Fine were nude for less then a minute before the minders including Pay and senior management found out and put a stop to it. The minute was long enough for the photos to be taken it wasn't like he was nude all afternoon.

 

[Woody49]

That’s disgusting, 250k!

Take it out of their cap.

 

[Mick Benson]

$250k is ridiculous. Anyone would think the whole team went on a drunken rampage.

FFS it was two blokes getting nude and another bloke finding out his limitations.

$20k for an actual drunken rampage which saw John Sutton & Luke Burgess ejected from an Arizona bar, arrested, and they paid HUSH MONEY, then hid the investigation?

Canterbury players commit no apparent crime, are nude for a minute or two in a private venue while papped from public areas, have a spew... $250k?

hmmm
