social distance

[Grant Hedger]

NRL clearly didn’t want to upset Storm, Souths and to lesser extent, Panthers. Not a good first decision from new management. Trust is earned, and the NRL trust tank is running on empty. Not good enough.

i'm glad we'll get to play Latrell, but the punishment is controversial.

1) any player can now ignore social distancing rules knowing they will get a second chance
2) if there's a second wave of the virus the NRL will take some blame for not encouraging social distancing
3) if they were going to suspend the match suspensions they might as well have increased the numbers of matches to at least pretend that they meant business

I think the punishments are reasonable. Fans want to see the stars playing.

"The players have a responsibility to the game and community. It is important that, in these challenging times, we all have to work together to combat COVID-19 and compliance with public health orders is a critical requirement," ARL Commission chair Peter V'landys said.

"The players have to understand that they are putting the game and the community at risk by their actions. It's certainly hard to accept such behaviour when the game is doing everything it can to persuade the community that its players are responsible and behave appropriately.

"The penalties have been structured so as to give these players one further opportunity to demonstrate that they can be trusted. If they contravene again, then those parts of the penalty that have been suspended will be activated and they may also be subject to further sanction."

One, not two or 7.
One, final warning. Can't be fairer than that.

The new absolutely stringent NRL rules are coming soon.

The three who were at LM's property obviously broke social distancing rules. The bigger issue though is the fire arms offenses for which they have been charged with by the police. That alone should result in an ban from the NRL for at lease 2 games if not more. They also traveled over 200 Km to ride unregistered trial bikes on a beach without licenses. Fair dinkum what have they got to do to get more than a slap on the wrist.

Exactly Preston Campbell is a national treasure an absolute model example for not only young indigenous Australians but Australians in general he’s an absolute gentlemen.

A great story about Preston Campbell when he was at the Riff, in the off season he played Cricket for Consumers Cricket Club, we played them twice I hit 2 centuries against them ( they smashed us in the GF ) after the games he would always go up the road buy a couple of cans of beer for both teams and sit down and have a chat, after the first game he came over with a beer and I told him I didn’t drink, he sent another bloke up the road to buy a carton of coke, even after his team left he sat with some of our blokes, happy to chat, before the second game he come up to me handed me a carton and said the way you smashed us last time I came prepared, lucky enough to ton up again, this time he invited us all back to his house in Glenmore a Park for a Bbq and swim, we give out legend of the game tags to a lot of non deserving dicks, this bloke on and off the field is deserving of this title

> NRL players Latrell Mitchell and Josh Addo-Carr have been hit with firearms charges after a weekend getaway with about 10 men.

Seems like there's more to this. Latrell had a gun license and let everybody fire his guns during a piss-up at his farm? They then posted photos of it all over the internet.

[FACEPALM]

Go back to the first page... I was willing to defend this guy if it was just a bit of camping with him and JAC. Nope. Sounds like they were doing a little bit of traditional hunting while they were at it :P

It's open season now anyway.
If that doesn't change soon our players must 'riot' on the field every time it happens.

The gun JAC was firing looked pretty "rough' , bolt seemed hard to operate.

One of the girls in the Cleary photo was drinking Corona beer.

Well if they become party planners I know who I will be contacting out of Lattrell and Cleary.

I think that's an automatic $1,000 fine.

Lol!

I never knew Nathan was such a pimp daddy.

He seemed a bit more straight laced than that.

But what a life! Literally having 5 hot blondes fighting over who gets to sit closest to your groin.

[bondi.boy]

That's just downright creepy. Girls just popped in to visit him... Dad will be really pleased..Maybe they were Tigers fans just setting him up...

Think he said his sister's friends.

Desperados wouldn’t go anywhere near him and his jaw if he wasn’t a footy player.
