I think if a player cops it for something they have done, thats fair game.
Copping it for mental health issues is crossing the line IMO
If anything, Slaters comment actually confirm who has the problem.
Suity

Im not excusing Slater for what he said, because i think it is VERY poor form on his behalf, but there must be plenty of this that goes on in each and every game. Inglis/Stewart/Bird must cop it for their very public alleged indiscretions (perhaps somewhat more deservedly) and god only knows what else would be said out there.

Pete, sledging someone over depression albeit allegedly is not much ado about nothing, more like a cheap nasty niggle tactic which Slater seems to excel in.
The last sentences of the story says it all...
"What was said in that conversation will remain private but Cory has assured me that there is no ill-feeling between us.
"I wished him all the best at the end of the phone call - and he did the same."
As I said "Much ado about nothing"
I've always thought of Warnie as not a very nice human being and would regularly talk to my kids about him as that.
I certainly don't find his comments funny.
Unfortunately we put our 'stars' on pedestals that they may deserve for their sporting prowess but not their decision making as human beings...
This is one thing I applaud Osbourne for in making this a major part of his recruitment strategy.
Your stature in the community should make you more accountable for your your words and actions.
What about Warnie sledging his bunny Daryl Cullinan?
Everyone thought he was funny.."Looks like another trip back to the psychiatrist lounge".
Much ado about nothing
Don't recall Cullinan suffering from Mental Depression. :?
Gallop should step in. This is no different than Gallen calling someone a black c%%t.
If Corey is still suffering from depression he should not be playing NRL. I know how he feels. I am on medication for depression - and I have a daughter who suffers from depression also. Medication can control it.
Patterson said himself that he had no ill feeling towards Slater - that's why I say...Much ado about nothing
Can't understand why it was even raised.
It's hard enough educating people about depression without boofheads like Slater carrying on like a caveman

Wasnt a Beyone Blue awarness campaign being run at that game as well. Im sure Newcastle were involved with them this year.
