Manly star accused of slapping sponsor and fined $10,000

[Rockin Ronny]

I'm always suss about these club fines. Who verifies that they actually are taken out of the player's contract? I suspect much of the time it is done for appearances and then a way is found to magically pay the player a bonus for some spurious reason to make up his contract money.

Suspension is a better, more obvious penalty, and more transparent to everyone interested in the game. It probably hurts the player more too.

Now, you need to be very careful here. Let's not get radical.

If you introduced transparency, even integrity, into rugby league - the game would collapse like a house of cards.

One thing:
If I was a sponsor who wouldn't want his daughter associated with a club, then I wouldn't be a sponsor in the first place.

No club or person would allow themselves to associate with you, so being a sponsor and having a daughter is out of the question in your case im afraid.

And the fact he is probably dole bludger would make it financially difficult to sponsor anything.

Imagine Rockin Ronny walked into a season launch as a sponsor !! LoL
He'd dead set end up on the bottom of a scrum.

And that implies Ronny associated with the opposite sex.

I dare say he has. They are just directly related.
