Are they not out to their team mates? I’m a bit confused, cos I thought that there are gay players, the inner circle knows about them, but they don’t want to be out publicly because of the furore.
I could be wrong tho.

C'mon, no way is that going to be kept a secret. Locker rooms leak like a sieve, there would 20 texts to Danny Weidler before he's finished his speech.

DCE is always so impressive in interviews.
If you get a chance to watch it do yourselves a favour. I'm sure there will be a transcript, but to highlight:
"I think we need to be really careful about how much we push onto the players to commercialise the game. If you look at a dressing room as an NRL squad, it is very diverse and it is inclusive, so I just wonder how much we need to do as athletes to push out there, because we already are a lot of things of what we try to represent."

Very well said DCE......but of course the NRL won't respect or listen to it.

This is what I was driving at a couple nights ago by asking ...what is the players union doing. I assume the players still have one (not that you'd know)
The players must still have some rights....bullshit open ended NRL contracts aside.

Surely a large portion of the players feel just like DCE and would prefer to concentrate on footy....instead of the NRL's latest agenda?
 
I mentioned it the other day, the NRL seems to look at the worst applicant for every single position they have and give them the job. It is a truly incompetent and pathetic organisation. I reckon one day they will be a case study in how to run an amazing product into the ground.

That is shameless. The fact that many called it out that JWH would get away with it too just stings a little more.

It is one of the reasons that I hate that whether an injury was sustained is a factor. It is absolutely ridiculous.

JWH could have fractured that kids larynx or ended up with an A. Fifita like injury and then it would have been weeks out. But because it didn't this time, we can wait until he does it again.

Like cleary's tackle on billy walters, that shit was nasty, but because (somehow) walters did not get injured, we are all good?

Then you have the finucane suspension for a head clash. This differed to napa's one against us because napa led with his head. Finucane's head clash was in my opinion an accident, but because Crichton got split, that must be punished?

I agree that the injury led to the harsher penalty, but Finucane collected Crichton in the head with his left shoulder as well. Considering the force he hit him with, I'm still surprised he stayed on the field.

I also agree the Napa situation was far worse.
