2017 Brisbane Broncos Thread - we hate them for their freedom

Is that how it works though? I mean, Todd Carney did many illegal things, but he got sacked for something that isnt illegal, does that mean you think carney should be allowed back and has a case against cronulla?

They guy was punted for alcohol related issues at 2 clubs, fuck knows what else he has done that clubs have hidden. The bronco's especially have swept at least two issues that we know of under the rug.

He was supposed to be in rehab for his issues, most of which seem to come from grog - yet caused ANOTHER incident at a bar.

The club hasnt punished him in the slightest for bringing the teams name into the media AGAIN.

how many more before the club says - Ok stop being a fuckwit

yeah, meanwhile we have josh papalii who has been convicted of two drink driving charges with no punishment from the NRL or the Raiders.

the nrl and clubs have no consistency what so ever, but its always good to have a dig at the bronco's

Would you be happy for someone like Paul Gallen to be suspended

The thing is, no-one knows whether he was being a sea nut, whether she made it all up, or if the truth is somewhere in between, so we don't know if he caused another incident and if not then he certainly hasn't brought the team's name into the media, someone else has. By your definition, guys like SKD should have been suspended, and Andrew Johns should be prevented from coaching gigs for falling asleep at an airport (maybe drunk, maybe tired). Crazy. Would you be happy for someone like Paul Gallen to be suspended for gouging in a scrum if there is no evidence other than an accusation, simply because he is the sort of guy who you wouldn't be surprised would do that sort of thing?

For all we know, at the club/nrl investigation they might have asked him what happened and his answer could have been along the lines of "I was in the club with mates after attending the magic millions, drinking coke all night. I have no idea who that lady is, and certainly didn't pull her hair or do anything else wrong. The first I knew of it was in the media a couple of days later, and she's either got me mixed up with someone else or made it up. If there's video of it I'd like to see it because I'm sure that'll show I haven't done anything".

In lieu of ANY evidence, whether it be witnesses or video, then I can't see how he could be punished, or in fact how anyone could even call for his punishment.

Jeez that forward pack is not the strongest. Personally, I would be playing McGuire at 13 and letting him play big minutes. Glenn to split time with Joe O, and Pangai/Thaiday to play front row. Gillett plays 80. Arrow comes from the bench.
Dont need Nikorima on the bench either. Sims either starts in the front row or at 13, or has a bench spot over niko
