fair enough, but did they in this case? isnt that what the rule makers keep saying, its ok for players to go out and have a drink but make sure they dont get themselves into situations that cause issues and bad publicity. did langer lockyer, thiaday and hodges get rolling drunk and cause a scene, no, then whats the problem?

LOL I thought Wallace and Clinton were good mates.... It is no coincedence that the team has only been playing worse since the incident occured.

Very true I think it would be poor form if the players dobbed on him though. By the looks of things the wheels have fallen of the club behind the scenes..

The way modern sport has the incredible capacity to put players in the penthouse one minute and then on the pavement, I have a theory.
I think Wayne's dream start at the Dragons is about to hit a major hurdle.
I think Wayne's dream start at the Dragons is about to hit a major hurdle.
I think his theory being that we as Australian's don't like to see people too successful, we like to tear them down when they get to the top. People have kind of let him do his own thing at the Dragons thus far - IMO in part cause they want to see if he will indeed fail outside of the one-team-town - but now he is proving to be very successful and they can't throw the usual "it's easy when you're coaching a team full of rep stars " (conveniently forgetting most of them weren't rep players before he coached them) or "it's easy in Brisbane, when there's no other RL competition" blah blah blah. So they will try and create a situation that makes things harder for him. Of course RBY likely has some more specifics from his tea leaves [icon_razz1

If that's true, then it's fairly disappointing IMO.
Only last season leading up to 'that' game against the Storm, it looked like we had developed an excellent team culture. All the boys played their hearts out for each other.
This year has been a completely different story IMO, some are putting in a half arsed effort with no real desire to perform well and win.
Sad to see.

woa - we're getting too convinced by some of the rumours. Let's just see how this all unfolds first.

Wait and see Flutter.
Hey Ning, have you heard the rumours sweeping Newie and the Hunter Valley about the Johns Boys coaching the Knights next year, with Chef ( he owns a restaurant ) Harragon involved as well?
