Thursday's revelations regarding the extent of doping and fixing in Australian sport has left even the most cynical among us sick to the stomach.…
Seems editing has messed up my last statement.
I did not write “But this is not the case.”
“But this is not the case.” should be after “We are to blame” or removed.
The battle between image and integrity
Both tonysalerno and oikee makes good points.
Storm were better at slowing down the ruck in all tackles. The third or fourth man in who tackles the legs to make sure the player goes to the ground late in the tackle is how they did it.
The Dogs did get pinged twice early and then ridiculously for standing the mark in the second half.
Problem was the storm never got pinged for the same thing. No constistency in the refereeing. On top of that the 10 metres for the storm was not policed all night, including numerous times where they were in front of the try line without a foot on it. This is where they were able to get up so fast on the dogs to cut down the playmakers time.
Who would have thought that the referees on the field would make the video referee look good. The ALRC only has two things on their agenda in the coming off season.
1. Clearout the referee heirarchy that has created their own rules over the last few years and then hasn’t been able to give clear direction to the refereeing group. We don’t need “get out”clauses at the end of the rule bookm that allows refs opinion on whether breaking a rule would have made a difference. All this does is create confusion and means Hollywood can say we got it right whenever they get it wrong. There is no benefit in that for the game, the pl,ayers or the fans.
2. Clear up the international player qualification. The international game has been in shambles since the ARL/Super League war. The game is healthy at club and state level. If the tighten these rules up we will stop seeing players from other countries playing for Australia/ New Zealand and Great Britan and other countries might be able to build decent squads. Cut the crap where players like Jarrod Hayne play for multiple countries. Have players commit to represent a country and thats it. If the genuinely want to change countries they have to apply and wait a two year period.Its not hard to sort out.
Storm's old habits too miserly for Dogs
Hmm yeah Barry Hall great example of swans no dickheads policy.
Bulldogs to rethink 'dickheads' recruitment policy
This is plain and simple payback by the media for The Canterbury dressing room being closed on Grand Final night.
Whoever at Channel 9 is responsible for this is now a former journalist. They have now joined the ranks of tabloid papparazzi.
Every other Mad Monday has film and photos of players entering in costumes and that is it. That is done and the media leaves. I have never known any other instance of the media hanging around all day outside a private Mad Monday event, flying helicopters/drones over the premisies to try and catch them out doing something.
Amazing how Channel 9 treat their investment in Rugby League. No wonder they are going broke.
Time for John Grant to show who is boss

Greenberg frustrated by Bulldogs' slurs
nickoldschool you are correct. drink drving is a civil matter. My point was that the NRL believes it is their job to be handling it rather than the courts. This left us and the impressionable teenagers that see the players as their heroes, that mising two games of footy is what they can expect as punishment.
The real punishment is fines, jail, loss of license, loss of job, injury, death, injuring and finally killing others. These need to be dealt with by the courts, not the NRL
