There will be a wanky stats term that means half but is meant to make them sound smarter by using it.

Those merkins can never just call an average an average

I don't quite understand your point. So....2 blokes get convicted of criminal offences and have been (or will be) sent to prison....nobody is suggesting that Pearce or Carney be sent to prison.

Hitler / Stalin killed millions of people. Does that make Johnson and Hernandez's offenses seem trivial?

My point is that the Pearce story got as much media coverage as a rape or murder, if not more!

Pearce returning to the country got triple be attention of the Pell story.......

The media brings the game into disrepute by giving a nothing story more attention than it deserves!

Also, another point is that other games have bigger issues than just players being dickheads but people choose to turn off NRL because of this? Seems weird to me.

The bass player for Korn is possibly the biggest douche on the planet, doesn't mean I'll stop liking their music or the other members. Other musicians are drug addicts and people still worship them but an NRL player carries on like a dickhead and pretends to f**k a dog and he should be banned for 12+ weeks??????

I think Heavy Metal Musos may have signed a different code of conduct to League players.

For them, some behaviors are a given.

So you are saying that the death of 500,000 is just mean?

Of course but the same mothers who criticise footy players for not being better role models for their kids worship drug addicts who often have criminal records or have been in the public eye for not so savoury acts.

Just saying it is expected makes the entire situation laughable!

But are these guys ever filmed doing shit like that? I doubt it, because they have enough money that they don't go back to some random chick's place for a party; they bring their random chicks to a $20k a night hotel suite where their private security detail confiscates everyone's phones.

Plus they're not in any kind of collective team or league, so if they're going to hurt anyone's reputation it's only their own. And anyway, musicians do get sacked by their labels all the time. But just like in rugby league, the better they are the more 'second' chances they get.

I don't have a problem with Korn's behaviour as much as I do their music.

Can I just say the rumours about me and cobs of corn are just that. Rumours.

Granted, there was an incident at an airport with a watermelon, but that was a long time ago.
