Gallop is again trying to punish the fans for something the hype promoted by the NRL. The NRL built this up to be an intense and emotional BIG game. When the emotions boiled over to the players, he wants to rub the best players out of the grand final.
My questions to Gallop –
• If NRL impose fines for operational breaches, I want to know how are clubs able to prevent fights between players?
• Rubbing out the clubs and players from the grand final, how is this the fault of the fans?
How to resolve this?
My solutions:
1. This is not an operational issue for the clubs. If anything, it’s the NRL’s fault. Fine the NRL for the hype they built around this game.
2. Ban the players involved for only a couple of games, not rub them out of the finals entirely. For Glenn and Adam, do like the courts. Impose a punishment that will allow them to give back to the community. Make them front the media for an apology together, get them to shake hands, and get them both on community services together – have them go to schools and spend time with kids and help out with school programs.
DON’T PUNISH THE FANS!
Let the media and the NRL know about NOT to punish fans!
