Official Adam Elliott and Bulldogs part ways

[Sandra's Bollocks]

The words sack and Elliott in the same sentence doesn't sit well with Ute.

Probably coz they're obstructing his eyesight.

I have a strong feeling today will be the day. The club just can’t be so stupid, surely. If we sack Elliott it’s going to bite us on the arse big time. This is Thurston all over again. I hope you’re happy Kennel. I hope you’re fucking happy.

Thanks for your words of hope for those of us who want Elliott gone. I know you'll be upset so make sure you talk to someone and get the help you need.

Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Hey hey hey
GOODBYE!!!

 

[Shreksno1]

He’s gotta go man. Imagine having to share the locker room with this guy. That’s the worst part. He would have a massive negative effect on the whole team since the licha shit. The worst part is because the bloke is “larrikin” you would just hear his annoying voice all day

Our last two games of the season prove this

 

[Papa Joe]

I hope your right. Wouldn’t it be better to do it on Friday

Maybe, but then we might be accused of trying to hi-jack the finals attention.

Also, if it is commented on a day before finals - there will be less for Gus to comment on when he is covering a match on 9.

I'm sorry but I don't get it. Sure Elliot is a repeat offender....but kissing a girl who's an adult isn't an offence...last time I looked. The NRL integrity commission who also oversees the women's game didn't even interview Millie Boyle. So all the hand wringing and blood letting and frothing at the mouth of Sloshfield doesn't make a non event a sackable event.
This Grub hates the Dogs. Hates our roster build up. Hates everything the Dogs stand for....family, passion, aggressive football. So guess what...first chance he gets he's always front and centre to lay the boot in.
So Adam kissed a girl. Who's damaged? Who's offended? If he kissed a guy instead would there be an outcry?or would the haters be more careful of not being gender inclusive?
Did he do any brand damage by kissing a girl? NO. He's a red blooded bloke who kissed a red blooded girl. It's better than beating up a woman isn't it? For goodness sake WAKE UP KENNELLERS THIS IS AN OUTRAGE,!!!!
If the Club was to turn on Elliott and sacked him what message is this sending the playing group? After not supporting CHN and Okky over the later to be determined non sexual assault of consenting women, if the Club was to sack Elliot now the playing group would say...this Club is too easily influenced by the media agenda and shows no loyalty to its players.
Good luck trying to get a bunch of guys to bleed for each other with this kind of support.

I think the simple quetsion is this-

Does the club want to sack him to put it's self in a better position moving forward???

If the answer is YES, then right now the opportunity has presented it's self to do so.

Also, I've kissed a woman or two in my life - but I never had to take my shirt of in a public place to do it (taking his shirt off for a kiss alone - I'm not that naive), nor did I have to lock myself in a restaurant toilet cubical to do it & only leave after ignoring repeated requests to leave resulting in staff to get the emergency key to unlock the door & escort me out.

Just saying!!!

It is not a hanging offence for sure. But it sets a bad example of player behaviour in the club.
He has three cases behind him. This will have a negative effect on recruitment as it shows there is little control of what is happening.
The club has the opportunity to move him on. His salary would be handy for a replacement.

 

[Flanagun]

Surely you don't think he will become an imortal like Thurston at another club. I have trouble trying to understand someone been so in love witha player who is very average on the field and is often a complete idiot off it.

Elliott has more talent than SBW .....and he loves the club. Just don't understand how people can be so foolish.

Hahahaha bro stop.... this is ridiculous!!!!

If he loved the club, he would fuck off for a year with no pay and go address his alcohol problems. Come back in 2023 and show your a man who has some self respect and won't let the club down again.

Would you voluntarily forfeit your job and pay for a year just for getting asked to leave a hotel? I don't know one person on this earth who would do that.

You need a break

 

[Flanagun]

You need a break

No, I need to work harder than I have ever worked before!

 

[Chrisaaar]

I hope the doggies social media team put this video out tagging adam once the news is broken:

If I had earnt 500k the years prior and it was my first day on the piss for 7 months like Elliott then yeah I would recognise I have an issue and I can easily take a year off to reflect on my own problems.

If you are including the "Lichaa situation" in your 3 cases, then you are wrong. Neither our club nor the NRL took any action against Elliott so there is no case there, not legally anyway. Yes, yes, moral outrage, bad press, unfavourable media attention etc, but legally nothing.

If you are including the "Mad Monday situation" in your 3 cases, then there is an issue with that as our club was found to have substantially contributed to it and was actually fined more by the NRL than Elliott was. It would be hard to argue legally that Elliott is totally responsible, that our club has to carry some of bad press, bringing the game into disrepute, unfavourable media attention, etc. Plus Elliot wasn't the alone in that display, hence pinning it 100% in him would be difficult to support.

Legally Elliott's lawyer could argue it's 1.5 cases as best. Which my guess (yes, it's only a guess) is why it's taking so long to reach a conclusion.

Always a Bulldog

I smell bullshit...... most alcoholics would tell you keeping busy doing the things you love is key to combatting the disease.

So Adam is now an alcoholic? Do you personally hand him the bottle so he will keep cuddling you...

This is my thinking too..... the legal case against Elliott looks tenuous at best.

 

[Flanagun]

Alcoholism comes in many forms.....many of us are probably alcoholics to some degree. Anyone with a drinking problem is an alcoholic to some extent.

I'll ignore your second question, because it's stupid.

Oh yes they do. Elliott loves getting in the sack and swinging his sack. Myth Busted.
