Look, I don’t know what they were doing in there... but you can’t condemn someone on speculation. It was a very minor incident and if it were some other player, none of you would give a fuck.... let alone look for any possible explanation to make it seem worse than the official story.
As far as Elliott screwing over a mate, I never said it was ok.... but I think it’s hilarious that so many of you are implying Elliott is the biggest scum bag on earth for betraying the trust of a mate, but if a player betrays the trust of a wife or fiancé (whether it be once, or even repeatedly), you don’t seem to give a shit. Could it be because if you were to criticise Elliott for cheating on his partner you’d have to acknowledge he was far from the only nrl player to have done it? Or are you all just sexist arseholes who believe loyalty to a partner is less important than adherence to the bro code?
People cheat, it doesn’t mean they are terrible people. It means they made a really bad decision. Elliott has done a few stupid things in his life, but honestly, even accumulatively, they all rate pretty low on the list of shit things past and present players have done.
Be honest. Your objection to Elliott isn’t about upholding some sort of moral code, it’s about trying to justify the sacking of a player you don’t like...a player you have not liked since long before the cheating saga earlier this year.
