HB is the example at the moment but this is systemic.
football organisations prioritising winning games of football is a worldwide phenomenon
Whats soccer got to do with this?
But yeah I know, being lax for organisations is the easier way. Its like the bullshit the AB's use to have the no dickhead policy. Biggest joke given the amount of drink drivers/sleeping pill users/domestic abusers/idiots that played during this era. Its just something that's easy to say when you are winning everything and dominating.
I wonder if we can roll that out for HB seeing we just won the shield/s.

Instead of standing them down for an x-number of matches, I'd like players who abuse substances and still drive, to be forced to do community work with the victims of drink (and drug)-driving. Not sure who can organise that; maybe via victim support? Confront them with the misery it can cause, sometimes life-long disabilities or death of a loved one. Make them work (for free) at a rehabilitation centre. In fact, I'd like all those convicted of drink-driving to do that, because frankly, this has nothing to do with rugby/sport. Our society has a serious problem with alcohol (and other substance) abuse.
Also make them follow extra courses on nutrition and the effect alcohol has on the body and exercise (recovery). It's bad enough that NZ has this awful drinking culture, but sportspeople should really understand (or be made to understand) that drinking affects their athletic performance if they drink regularly during the season and even more so if they drink too much.

Yeah I agree. I have always believed certain careers are a privilege sports person is one of them. I thought Russell Packer should have not been allowed to play NRL again. Although I was very torn after listening to this great podcast interview he was on.
I actually refused to watch a minute of the warriors while they had Matt Lodge on the team. He went to the USA and while drunk/high assaulted a poor guy in his house and also told a female some pretty horrible things. A friend who was on the medical team at the broncos said he was toxic and that's why the broncos paid to get rid of him, then the warriors did the same. Saw him at the local park a few weeks after the warriors cut him and he was abusing some guy in the parking lot...obviously could have been the other guys fault but the dudes a dick.
Regardless of if they improve their behaviour following serious misconduct they can be reformed in another career....it won't happen but I can only hope.

this thread title is factually wrong// only alleged, isn't it? They only found coke on the shield? To paraphrase that great Watts song, "The Shield's Been Snorting"

missed that the first time. Underrated joke, well done.

@Magpie_in_aus I didn't support the Tigers when Russell went to them, and I've thought since then that Cleary had no backbone. Even worse was the stance by the NRL.
-
Got a massive issue with that ruling , the lock steals and then is held up himself ..for me it’s a Magpies feed
-
@Steven-Harris I don't think Hawke's Bay should be rewarded in that situation.
-
Just reward for Rakete Stones , featured 3 or 4 times in the build up
-
Good hit back from Bop , bounce of an oval ball
