Chip + Shoulder = Bulldogs fans.
If you're talking about me for starting this thread then I'll try to clear things up a bit. I didn't start this thread to attack Melbourne. If they have been found to have no case to answer then i'm completely satisfied with that result.
What I was trying to point out was the inconsistencies that exist in the media and the NRL. The media obviously knows the Bulldogs case would attract a lot more attention than the Storm case, so they focused on it much more heavily. Gallop runs on knee-jerk reactions. He handed down a fine based mostly on what the media had to say. What if the media chose to report the clothing worn to police interview with a positive spin and say it was a show of defiance by the players towards their innocence ? Would Gallop have a problem then ? Does Gallop know what the Storm players wore to their interviews ?? What if the media attributed those 'bun' comments to another teams ex player ? Would that still be a reason to fine us ?
Gallop based his decision on what the media had to say and didn't believe a word from our side. That's what i'm so pissed off about.
