Remember the Konrad Hurrell sex tape in 2014. All he got was a $5k fine from his club and NOTHING from the NRL. Seems "putting yourself out there" has become a greater crime since AND it was full frontal on line......

KONRAD Hurrell made a “bad decision”. And it cost him $5000.
The
NRL on Wednesday endorsed the fine after Hurrell and New Zealand television personality Teuila Blakely were involved in a sex tape scandal.
Hurrell was driving while filming himself. The video found its way straight onto social media.
The Warriors centre apologised on Wednesday after the Warriors concluded an investigation.
SEX TAPE & SLURS: WHAT A WEEK FOR THE NRL
In a club statement, Hurrell said: “I am so sorry this has happened and want to apologise for the trouble I have caused.
“I’ve embarrassed the club, my teammates, the members and most of all my family. I made a bad decision but I will learn from this.”
The NRL integrity unit closely monitored the drama.
The NRL said Hurrell’s punishment was an internal matter for the Warriors.
“Konrad is full of remorse over what has happened,” said Warriors CEO Wayne Scurrah.
“While the incident involved two consenting adults, his action in sharing the content with others was unacceptable and inappropriate.
“Every year since he has been with us, Konrad has attended social media seminars and workshops conducted by the NRL.
“He knows the expectations but in this case he made a poor choice.”
News_Rich_Media: Warriors centre Konrad Hurrell has been named to take on the Bulldogs this weekend, despite calls for him to be dropped.
Scurrah said the incident has damaged the NRL and Warriors’ brand.
“The NRL’s integrity unit has been fully briefed on our findings and the penalty we are imposing,” he said.
The $5000 fine will be donated to charity. Hurrell will also undergo counselling on the perils of social media.
The Warriors play Canberra at Eden Park on Saturday. Hurrell has been chosen to start at centre.
