Gallop and the NRL actually do have to 'theory craft' - that is their job - when handing down this sanction they should have come up with a plan that would have allowed this season more cedibility.It makes you a dreamer living in Gouldland, just down the road from Neverland. Unfortunately for the NRL and David Gallop reality is in a whole other plane of existence where theorycrafting is a luxury they don't have.
What they have done instead is made this a season long sore which may bleed the game dry.
I agree with all sanctions except the 2010 one.
By the way I just saw possibly the best try scored by the Raiders just then - what a ripper!
