That's for rugby league anyway. The rules are different for other codes. |
Rugby Union is a better game... :p
But regardless, Ali your points are valid. A point to consider is that often these guys get held to a higher standard regardless of their previous history. Some are bad boys and should be hammered. I think that is right. Others have no previous history and do one bad thing and get hammered because they are high profile people so the law wants to make an example of them. I think that is wrong. Just because someone makes money and is a high profile person I don't think they should be held to a higher standard unless they are a person with whom a certain public trust has been given, i.e. Policeman and certain public officials. All of this should be taken in consideration of the crime as well.
