      An average professional sports league would just let the players play and the case go through the court system but the NRL has had nearly 20 years of bad behaviour by their players making it into the public arena.

      The players have been warned over the past few years that anything which makes their club or the league look bad would see potential punishment handed down by the NRL.

      The NRL is finally handing out those punishments.

        @chchfanatic innocent till proven guilty?
        That is harsh on Napa, how many players would have skeletons on the closet. Heaps I reckon. But given the current climate he may feel he got off lightly.

        I am not up with the whole story, but what did Napa actually do wrong? From the little I know, he shagged a chick (she consented), it was filmed by a friend and somebody, not Napa, posted the film online. If that's all there is to the story I would say Napa is a victim.

        @Crazy-Horse the stand down isn’t about Dylan Napa. He was fined for stupidity.
        Dylan walker gave his mrs a clip cause she had a go at him about playing PlayStation
        Jack de Belin put himself in a situation where he has been accused of rape.
        If you they don’t commit these crime then they don’t get stood down.

              Thing is they are putting themselves into positions where alleged crimes can happpen.
              Hanging out at bars or casinos at 4am a day or 2 before a rep game.
              Spending time with non drug dealers or gang members. Spotted on a video where someone snorts coke in a video.
              They just need to make smarter choices with their spare time. Do that and I’m sure 90% of the dramas wouldn’t take place

                I found it interesting that the NFL club that Hayne went too had a rep for guys making poor decisions on extra-curricula activities and who they hung out with. Sounded like some pretty solid guys, who hadn't had any discipline issues, went there and went off the deep end. So that points to culture (team/club, but also area) as a big factor. But ultimately it's your decision as to who you call your mates, or who you hang out with.

                          Big watch is the contest for the backup hooker/utility role between Roache, Lawton and Cook because Luke isn't an 80 minute player anymore in the second half of the season.

                            So, lets talk about the NRL's latest retarded idea.

                            Apparently fans lose engagement when their teams are out of the finals race (shocking i know), so the NRL want to find ways to keep those fans' eyeballs on TV screens.

                            So, their (completely retarded) idea is to give the top 6 a week off before finals, while 7 plays 10, and 8 plays 9 in a "wildcard" round to see who plays in week one of the finals.

                            Fucking idiotic.

                            Last year 9th was the Tigers at 12-12. 10th was the Raiders at 10-14!! yep, that's make the comp better, give a team with a significant losing record a shot at finals.

                            I for one don't think this goes far enough. If we really want teams engaged, let all 16 teams be eligible for finals. 24 rounds, then a knockout until you get to the GF. More games, all fans engaged for longer. You know it makes sense Greenberg.

                            Oh, and more sexy time videos coming out too. There won't be a player available for round 1 at this point.

                                But yea, pretty much.

                                Depending on your thoughts around rest/momentum, it's either a huge advantage, or a huge disadvantage.

                                It's not gone too badly for the AFL top seeds so far i don't think.

                                  To really maintain interest they should give one of the wildcards out based on a fan vote and the other one to the 'most deserving team' as judged by a panel of experts.

                                      I'd have thought if they wanted to keep the players busy in order to avoid the "off season" debacles, they'd not give them weeks off and the season would be 52 weeks long.
