I thought it might just be an excuse for not ratting on Musgrove.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF OUR CULTURE

Does it really matter? The damage has been done. How senior management can condone such behaviour is beyond me, the damage done to our brand, to the way our children view our players and our club. I'm over this garbage that was once a proud, feared and even revered club.

No, not really. You are right.

What in gods names inspired the coach to recruit a prop who should be in the prime of his career but who the wooden-spoon team no longer wanted? He's either a crap player or wasn't wanted due to the negative influence he has on team culture. Or a combination of those two which would be the worst. A poor player who has a very negative effect on the team culture.

Even back in my days we had messages plastered around the shed walls one of them was " The standard you walk past is the standard you accept". If we are to allow and accept that our 1st graders can get so drunk that they apparently cannot remember what they did or said the night before. The only people and businesses that will be rubbing their hands are the breweries. Both players should be stood down for at least a game and the coach should be shown the door. Just my views.

As predicted no action will be taken against anyone. Why is this a surprise

There are legal issues. That it happened shows you are right about the rotten culture but can't punish them for yelling at each other.

Hmm legal issues which are? You punish bad behaviour. The standard you walk past is the standard you accept. So we accept drunken behaviour that stains our club. Ok everyone is entitled to their opinion. Neither would be playing in my team against the Titans and the coach would be on notice to control your players or we will get someone who can but that is just me

I don't know the details but keep in mind how the Shonkies reached an out of court settlement with Todd Carney but apparently paid him over 1.5mil for wrongful dismissal.
If they couldn't punish Tood Carney without getting sued, how can the punish these 2 for getting angry with each other?

I may not have been clear here so in my view they are both dropped for 1 game and the coach put on notice control your players get your house in order or we will find someone else who can. Not seeking sackings but there has to be some consequences for their actions otherwise you cannot instill discipline or change a poor culture

That would probably work. Not as if either of them are going to be a huge loss. I would just caution that it might not be the fault of one of them. Maybe Musgrove insulted Rava's mum or something like that. Maybe vice-versa but doubtful. Rava is by all accounts a very mild mannered individual.

Both ideas make a lot of sense. Maybe the best we should hope for is that the club did a proper investigation and decided there wasn't enough in it to punish either. Maybe just a warning was enough. But Jo Dragon is certainly right the coach has to go. I think this won't be the last time this thread gets busy if this coach sticks around much longer.

I think they were fined.

They were they reached out their pockets and used their spare change. That will teach them a lesson, seriously?

And another, anyone who believes that there is not a discipline and cultural issue within our team and club well you are living under a rock. Today even though the Dragons kept it hush hush F Molo pleaded guilty to a DV related offence. Not only has support and membership dropped significantly over the last 3 yrs we seem to just provide a safe haven for poor behaviour and criminal behaviour. There needs to be a broom used from the boardroom down to try and excuse our club of these terrible issues. We have zero chances of playing semi finals football once again this season. It's bloody disgraceful and I will not be renewing my 40 yr membership until someone has the intestinal fortitude to say enough is enough

There are definitely problems with the culture. Just a question of how bad and how to fix it.

In my view its disgraceful

I think you are right. Just one thIng after the next for some years now.

I was one who questioned how bad it really was. I'm changing my view. Just one thing after the next. On and on. 2 drunk dudes scuffling at 6am isn't so bad or strange but...... one thing after the next. It's gotten ridiculous.
