As soon as the NRL suspended Brett Stewart for being drunk in public, they released the tabloid hounds to run Kangaroo Court on any league player caught with a beer in their hand.

Am I the only one who thinks the NRL are going over the top to protect their image? Whats happening over there right now is no different to what happens in the Premier League every week.

can't really see the point of posting that story on here. it's boring and makes out that NRL players are the only people to be a bit naughty of a weekend.

He did what? Seymour was never charged with anything... Simple excuse for the Broncos to shed him from the roster when he wasnt wanted.

He was alleged to have been in a garden near a bar, not a private residence.

And yes, the pettiness of the media now is absolutely insane. NRL footballers are dragged through the mud by certain papers and public wanting to make a name for themselves.

Another player, a junior Rooster has been fined 20% of his wage for drink driving, yet that isnt enough for some sections of the media.

As I said, by suspending Brett Stewart, the NRL made their own bed to be crucified by the media. Most occurances are less then that of what occurs in the premier league another proffesional sporting organisations around the world on a weekly basis.
