Parra's major Sponsor in Drug Scandal

[Woodsie]

The Managing Director of the Eel's major sponsor Aland was sentenced to an 8 month bond after pleading quilty drug possesion at the Star Casino ....

The Buzz in this mornings Tele questions the contradictory nature of the silence from the NRL and Parramatta .....

Some of these sponsors shout from the rooftops when it suits them to get out of a contract or have an opportunity to virtue signal by being offended ..... what should be the response of the NRL ... ?????

Lol @ parra

I doubt anything Aland do can further tarnish the Parramatta brand.

Well you did ask what should be as you know what will be, so you know what's going to happen, as we all do.

I predict either 'nothing' or "drugs are bad M'kay" will be the only things the nrl will do.

What they should do? I dunno. Be interesting to hear others. Can they do anything but go tsk tsk and say that it's up to Aland to take any appropriate action they think is fit?

If they have the power to approve sponsors or not, I cant see them telling Aland to go jump. "It would unfairly hurt the parra fans and players who have dont nothing wrong," the nrl would say (except for being parra fans and players.)

Assuming the world of capitalism absolves Aland of any 'punishment' from the nrl, maybe they should ask that Aland fund an anti-drugs campaign on behalf of the nrl.

Yep, interesting situation .... if they remain silent and don't censure Aland ..(or specifically the individual) ... then they are guilty of pragmatism over consistency.. money over principle .... puts Toddy in a difficult spot next time he wants to be all offended and outraged .....

But then again .. #consistencyisforlosers .....

I don't think Todd has any problem with his ability of selective outrage. Due to an overabundance of ... intoddgrity

I would be on drugs too following Parramatta, you are never going to get a natural high from enjoying a grand final victory.

Think about this. When the Worms last won a premiership ... mullets were only in their infancy

Todd's at the Super Bowl and won't be back for another week as he's resting up after a torrid schedule of back to back meetings while he's been there.

Where is the front page outrage from Kate McClymont

Tears as $6m fails to secure ex-Manly sponsor bail on drug charges

Selective "outrage" at its best!

Greenberg is onto this, following on the success of Magic Round, Greenberg has decided to hold Bicycle Day Round at Bankwest stadium, all games to be played on April 19 to promote the NRL's commitment to healthy lifestyle. The Eels and Knights will kick off the round.

Enough to earn her an AM though

If he's talking about another Finals appearance then yeah, maybe. They don't have that bad a squad if you're being objective about it (when it comes to the Worms, are us Manly fans ever that objective? ). But as for their year to win the premiership?

Darryl John Kerrigan called to say tell him he's dreaming. Personally I hope they have another wooden spoon to go straight to the pool room 😎

Hey MissKate - lots of people have an AM that are totally not deserved sadly. She can join the list.

Not when it's the nrl's golden west ticket. Fuking hypocrite wankers who run this game and their arse sniffing lackies in the media.

I'm still pissed off about Greenberg hijacking bicycle day
