Quote: homme vaste "I think our chairman summed it up perfectly, we have become a safety net for anybody who has been kicked out of other competitions.
This is not just directed at Folau by the way but IMO we should have the same morals as the NRL and RFU when it comes to our expectations on how our `professionals`should behave. It is a crying shame that rugby league in this country is desperate for any talent that they can take.'"
Greenburg is trying to clean up the NRL but more importantly their needs to be a real culture change driven by the players. More often than not the stupid actions are alcohol fueled and there should be a debate about how much players drink.
Why professional athletes would want to drink alcohol I dont know but Rugby still has a drinking culture and that needs to change. Is it any wonder young players end up doing stupid things after drinking when the dressing rooms they enter that is the culture.
I would guess players over also love a drink and out on the lash but its different in the sense the media spotlight is not the same. Players could go out in Manchester, Newcastle, London etc and nobody knows who they are.
