QF - The Bay v Coke Snorting, Historical Artefact Wreckers
-
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.

"qf-the-bay-v-coke-snorting-historical-artefact-wreckers"
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"

@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.
-
That was shit MMT
-
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.

Was that equally shit from Richard Judd?
-
Just reward for Rakete Stones , featured 3 or 4 times in the build up
-
Good hit back from Bop , bounce of an oval ball
-
The main caller yelling never fails to crack me up.

@KiwiMurph Bevan Dewar ex Radio Sport producer , good man
-
Tough call
-
Well finished from Bop , but boy some question being asked about the Magpies inside channels D
-
Bop in again , 21-7 really poor option from Visinia from turnover ball , went for the 50/50 chip kick , should have kicked long
-
Good hit back from the Magpies , awesome work from the forwards
Bop 21-12 at 27m -
Poor from Grigg
-
Surely that was in the in goal area when Flanders gathered it?
-
Didn't the ref call a knock-on?
Hallucinating? -
Bop tighthead with his knee on the ground right in front of Mabey on the first scrum 🤦🏻♂️
-
Too easy.
Hawkes looking like they're still in the comedown/hangover from some sort of cocaine-fuelled party. -
Bop in again , sloppy around the ruck from the Magpies..
Highlights how screwed up the game is though in around officiating when on one hand in one game something can be checked after a conversion and not on others -
Magpie forwards keeping their team in the fight, back to their go to
HT Bop 28-19 ..good contest -
Two penalties for opposition players "playing" a player in the air so far has got me thinking. Why are penalties not awarded for players supporting players that have jumped in lineouts as that is also playing a player in the air?
-
Some dubious calls have gone both ways in the 1st half.
I know McMillan is a fan, so I wonder if he is looking at Carter for the Chiefs (assuming at least one wing position is available).
-
Replacement Reon Paul looks a genuine line breaker

On this form I would take him ahead of Alex Nankivell for Chiefs any day of the week
-
@Stockcar86 genuine power and leg drive Blues need some decent midfielders just saying
-
Geez Parsons ,the power was coming from the loose head side
-
Lineout drive and maul porn..Hawkes Bay in again
28-24 55m -
Outstanding shift from Rakete Stones 😉
