Todd Greenberg has got to go!

[TheVelourFog]

The All Stars concept is treated as an afterthought so can't blame anyone for not giving a shit about it

don't even know who the teams are to be honest

Could be argued that AFLX on Friday night was the AFL's own version of a meaningless (competitively anyway) pre-season event, like NRL All Stars.

AFLX
Combined FTA metro, regional & Fox = 512,000

NRL All Stars
Combined FTA metro, regional & Fox = 552,000

Just out of curiosity, I'd be interested to know how many viewers the trials attracted on the NRL and club websites.

I watched all of them, not sure about others. NRL's promotion of it on social was utterly pisspoor.

Agreed.I don't think I actually saw the NRL advertise it anywhere.

So much for this new fancy digital arm the NRL have if they aren’t promoting it

The stream for the Broncos vs Seagulls topped out at around 8.5k viewers

Sounds like court went well today Todd.

What a muppet, along with whoever advises them.

Yep they're gonna cop a pasting. They're using 500 fan emails to back their case for f**ks sake!

 

[snogard6]

He can take Beatie with him!

 

[Diesel]

What did Greenberg do/say?

 

[Twizzle]

According to ABC news he said in court that he has been all around to world to see how other sports like the NBA and NFL deal with such off field behaviour and discipline.

So by "all around the world" he means he's been to America

 

[insert.pause]

The rule itself is evidence of the need for it, if the nrl’s reputation wasn’t suffering why would they do anything? Debelin bringing up the dragons sponsorship revenue & membership numbers are irrelevant, because he didn’t play, because of the rule.

 

[Spot On]

But, but...

Haven't you heard???

Todd can't do a good job because no one before him has done any better and he can't do a good job because the IC won't allow him to.

Enter the 2 Greenburger supporters to back my claims up!

 

[Vee]

He can take Beatie with him!

We did warn you about him.

I’m more than happy for a player charged with a very serious crime to be sat out until the trial. I hope nrl wins this one

What if Jack for instance doesn’t have a contract for next year, and is 100% innocent and later proven that in court but 2 years later?

 

[no name]

I think the NRL is trying to put the horse before the cart.

I understand that they don’t want to damage the image of the game and

But at this point in time, de Belin claims innocence, therefore maintains that innocence until proven guilty. If he is found guilty than obviously he gets banned for life.

The real damage to the game is if players are found guilty of a crime of a certain nature and are ever allowed back. The Matt Lodge case comes to mind.

I think sponsors and fans are being unreasonable if they want action before due process has taken place.

He can sue.

 

[snogard6]

He can sue.

So is that good for the NRL then??

none of this is good. He put himself in this position not the nrl. The nrl has a broader agenda protecting its image in a competitive market.
I have no sympathy for a bloke on this money finding himself in court on rape charges because he went on a night on the piss in Wollongong.
