I look at it this way....i'd imagine with pending legal action re the brett stewart case, maybe the nrl has seen what a hole they have dug themselves in ,with the way they just came in and suspended a bloke for 4 weeks without his chance to defend any charges,... so they get him on an all encompassing disrepute "charge" and the nrl is seen as doing something......all before any of the police/legal charges are even heard.......now, realising they are going to get sued for maybe they have learnt from this situation and are doing everything possible to delay any footy penalties till the legal charges have been heard. Well thats a positive in my opinion, and is something we all here advocated and that was innicent until proven guilty. Now here's the rub....what presumption of innocence is applicable for carney ? the breathaliser doesnt lie - he is guilty of dui and on a zero alcohol provisional license - so what are the nrl waiting for ? the dally m player of the year hasnt brought the game into disrepute - give me f-in break , and any eats fand official saying well hes served his suspension for all the other shyte , and this is basically his first offence - the guy should be told to go back to play for canberra , paid for by easts , or deregistered - this bloke shouldnt be helping the rooters try and win a comp after the raiders were told to take action......Benji - same deal - what presumption of innocence is required here , is there any suggestion that the rascist or his mates even swung a punch back , or swung first - yes , i know there is a line blah blah - no place for rascism etc etc - but if i as " wog" or everyone else that got sledged swung everytime they got verballed , there'd be more people in gaols in this country than out - IMO the guy's ego took over and he's made a massive mistake - a physical assualt in the middle of the city , in front of a crowd at maccas - not bring the game into disprepute ?? Either grow a set gallop and show the consistency , explain what they are waiting for from both court cases in regards to bad publicity that hasnt already been caused , and considering the offences took place in the weeks leading up to the season start , will the NRL be standing carney and benji down for 4 weeks during the season asap as the cases are heard, regardless of what effect they have on the roosters, nsw , tigers , the battle for western sydney, nz , and the hypocrytes they will look like by everyone thats fair dunkum...and finally , watmough and trex should have been punished by our club as well , if they havent been....police rader and breathaliser again.
