Phil Gould, in a rather lengthy diatribe says that “It’s time for the clubs to take action and end the farce being orchestrated by the ARL.” He’s got that half right. It is time to end the farce, but that farce is allowing NRL players to walk the streets of Sydney while not on a leash. Latest in a long line of misdemeanors isn’t a horror story of underage sex or rampant violence, it’s another indication that while their training on the field may be excellent, their toilet training is somewhat lacking.

Whether in a 5-star establishment such as the Crowne Plaza or on a popular street corner near the King Street Wharf, it seems these highly trained gladiators can’t be trusted to observe the most basic of social skills. Perhaps they should be confined to barracks after games, fed raw meat, and only taken out for a walk by the NRL Executive. At least then perhaps they’d find a tree or post to cock their leg on rather than the head of a fallen mate.
