Does anyone think that a $500,000 fine which will be end up being paid by a News Ltd company to another News Ltd company is a proper punishment? Or a returning of winnings paid out by News and being returned to News is right? The premierships are superficial. So is the points deduction the only really bad punishment?
Players agents should get a slap over this. But there would have been a lot of people who would have known and will get away with it.
As for world news, Reuters have the story so it IS mentioned in the New York Times. But can't find it at the moment in RL playing country France's main paper, Le Figaro.
It'll blow over. This is Australia, sport will win in the end.

How many union advocates spent their waking hours scanning overseas papers last night?
Funny stuff.

| AFL has their biggest club game of the normal season this weekend and its been swamped by talk of RL
the nrl has just blow every other sport off the planet here, even our closest rival in AFL is irrelevant now
the first 10 minutes of Foxsports news was all RL.
this just shows the publicity RL can generate and how interested people are in the sport. |

This tends to confirm that the penalties are the right ones.
Extremely harsh but the situation was untenable.
The game will be stronger for it. |

ends all discussion that gallop is a news ltd/sl man.
storm are news ltd baby and hes just kicked their buts
after the dogs copped their penalty gallop had no choice but go harsh on them
dogs have recovered from this, so will the storm with news ltd backing
news ltd will just have to stay in for longer in their ownership of the storm |

It is interesting to see so many of the old Sydney Melbourne haters coming out of the woodwork.
The NRL must be careful they don't allow this evil sentiment to tarnish the process. |
