Lets look at this with the current conditions in terms of the climate of the club and social responsibility along with all its association.
Firstly my look on Paul Gallen , a very good player who puts his heart on his sleeve, in a better team would excel, only real problem with Gallen is he is very docile , not captain material by any means. His impulse measuring against his intelligence and "controlled aggression" really factors poorly , refeerees have no time talking to this disrespectfull man.
Ricky Stuart thinks because he fires up he should control the whole team,no Ricky no , time to get smarter its not the same as your era. Times are changing biting , Testicle grabbing and grappling are being abolished for the good of the game and its goals of there marketshare.
The Sharks can ill afford another saga in there drama- marred season so they are really trying to stitch this up very quickly , but for the Sharks to say nothing happend or whine that it was actually Mickey Paea's fault is typical of there folk down there.
I cannot stand for the arrogance of Gallen when Mickey had enough class to drop it went over to make peace with Gallen and he rejected him , typical quiessntial shire bloke.Who couldve just cost his team more then 2points.
For the NRL if they dont have a look at this incident its just yet further proof that this is a very curropt organisation , utopia built.
Its a real grey area because the game is ever changing , theres no more "what happend on the field stays on the field"..
Racism in proffesional sport cannot be tolerated , but hey this is the NRL...
