that decision by the Rashays group is a direct result of the over reactions shown and public opinion .. so yes i stand by by my statement..
ive had over 24 hours to think about this and the only people that have been hurt by this is the 4/5 people involved in the act.. So as a human being, you tell me, was all this really worth causing suffering and pain for those 4/5 people ??
theres been far worse scandals than this and the NRL and Bulldogs have survived those.. most of the outrage in these situation comes from people who have little or no interest in the game .. or people who have fading interest in the game and are looking for any excuse to dig the boot in.. and theres the moral fredom fighters who are sheep that need to follow popular opinion..
the fact remains that legals acts have been punished to ridiculous extremes and that includes teh girls.. they will have serious mental anguish over the action of both the bulldogs and nrl ..
We'll agree to disagree then. At least one of those girls chose to share their exploits on social media first and that's how the leak started. They are hardly completely innocent and that's part of the problem - this desperate need to 'share' on social media to be cool. It's a disease.
In my view the club had no choice. Nor really did Rashay's. If it were my business I would've done the same. I note they have left the door open to when the heat dies down so we'll see.
Where does it end? If very strong messages are not sent to those who break the rules it's only a matter of time before the next scandal happens. For that, I believe Okunbor at the very least has to be the example and his employment terminated.
I'm not referring to the NRL, other clubs, other incidents etc - we have no control over those and even so, the fact most of those are criminal matters means there's police, courts and other processes that have to work their way through (eg: De Belin, Scott).
Should those blokes be playing? Absolutely not in my view - and that's why I would applaud a strong stance from our club that shows other clubs and perhaps even the NRL need to draw a harder line.
My position does not come from digging the boot in nor popular opinion - it comes from a strong and ongoing interest in the welfare of our club and how we set the standards that everyone else should aspire to.
