Which young bloke hasn’t got some sexy time on tape? As an NRL player you can’t be seen to be human though. You are a footy playing robot ffs!
You want to be treated just like every other 9-5 worker? Go be a brick layer.

Do you think a NRLW player would cop the same punishment in the same situation?

If that NRLW player shared a sex tape with team mates with an unknowing partner, and then it leaks. Yes, I believe that similar action would be taken (though a 10% fine of their contract would barely be mentioned).

The fact is that Napa is not an innocent victim here. A fine is probably a fair punishment for his role.

Has it been confirmed that he shared it to team mates?

Either way, they wouldn't touch it if it was a NRLW player.

From an article posted earlier in the thread:
Napa confirmed to the NRL that the videos were filmed during his five-year stint with the Roosters and were posted on a WhatsApp chat group used exclusively by members of his former club.

So yes he did. This is why he has been fined.

Btw, saying 'they wouldn't touch it if it was a NRLW player' is irrelevant and does not deal with fact but rather your opinion of a hypothetical.

It doesn't say he shared it to team mates just that it was shared.

For clarity, here is the official NRL penalty:

Dylan Napa
The NRL will fine Napa 10 per cent of his 2019 salary following the publication of several lewd videos featuring him.

It was decided not to suspend him because this is an historical incident with the videos dating back five years and due to the Player's incorrect assumption that the material would not reach a broader audience.

However the NRL has warned that any video damaging to the game which is filmed and date stamped from today will incur significant penalties, including suspension.

The footage of Napa Fingering one’s own colon was punishment for the poor individual who’s mates thought it would be hilarious to reshare.

A person’s eyes cannot be unstained from the misfortune of opening & viewing this attachment.

Well thanks for describing it for those fortunate not to have seen it!

My mate said there was one with shadow boxing and wanking. WTAF?

Former Rooster team mate Pearce pretend humping a dog.

Put it all together and you get one of the most successful teams of the 2010s lol

This is ridiculous.

Any player having consensual sex could be secretly filmed, then seemingly suspended.

I'm sure there are plenty of consensual things that players get up to that the media outrage would ensure was "damaging to the game"

Pretty ridiculous that Napa gets fined and Inglis gets a character reference from the CEO.
And while Inglis did miss out on the two tests, that cash wasn’t guaranteed and shouldn’t be factored into punishment.
He'd already been selected and announced as captain, so the cash was guaranteed at the time of the sanction.

Would Todd fine a female member of the nrl is she shared a film amongst her friends be they male or female and then it was leaked ?? Or would that be victim blaming and see Todd being hung drawn and quartered ?

You are dreaming. The media wouldn't dare cover it the same and if those idiots facebook groups mods used it to leverage popularity the police would be knocking down doors asap.
If todd trie this rubbish on, he would be hunted down and called out for what this is, victim blaming.

He's not an innocent victim but nor is he a guilty perpetrator.

The bloke had a root. End of.

None issue; no fine or suspension neccesary.

But but... won't somebody think of the children!
