Mark Geyer can’t believe the punishment handed down by the NRL to the Bulldogs over Mad Monday antics

MARK Geyer has taken a strong stance in defence of the Bulldogs, saying the NRL’s proposed $250,000 fine is a huge “over-reaction”.
The club was issued the breach notice after players were caught getting naked and running amok at a Sydney pub on Monday.
“I must have had too many head knocks as a player because I just don’t get the outrage, I don’t get it,” Geyer said on Triple M’s The Rush Hour with MG.
“No matter what your feelings on the drama are, it’s excessive the fine but it’s also a bloody big deterrent for ongoing things and I think the NRL had to act … but $250,000?“I don’t know. Is it just me? Is it just me or is this the biggest overreaction I’ve ever seen in my life?”
The former rugby league hardman said the players involved only embarrassed themselves, so there was no reason to come down so hard on them.
“I know that these guys are on big money and they’re privileged guys, but they’ve also got a camera following them everywhere they go,” he continued.
“For nine months of the year they’ve toed the line, so one day they’ve let their hair down and got nude. Who got hurt? Was someone assaulted, did they swear at anyone, did someone complain? I just don’t get it.
