I'm in favour of the pursuit of accountability, the sooner NRL players arn't seen as consequence-less targets of the public, the media and the police the better. But I do hate how league fans including some on this forum, want justice for their team and its players, yet will sling insults at other players over similar unfounded rumours of players not from their team. Brett Stewart is an excellent example, and posters on here still insult him, despite been found not guilty in court. We need to protect all players from this kind of thing, and the fact that supporters give it too players who ain't from their team, just gives oxygen to the media and feeds negative public perception, which in turn continues to set up the players as targets.
On the other hand, guilty players of terrible crimes should be banished, no questions asked.
