Thats a very amusing analogy chrispy,reminds me of an old joke on the difference between potential and reality which wouldn't be allowed to grace the pages of this refined and classy forum.
you just needed to point out how the swans did it ted as that is how any professional side would do it....
Yep. They are setting a good example - which is really sad that that even needs to be acknowledged. As you say - the best of the best are always treated differently. And it about time it was done more fairly. Thats why i believe an independent group that is held accountable in the public eye should be responsible for dishing out the punishment - not the club or the NRL for any off field indiscretion. Simple solution.
Ricardo - You could always show pics to demonstrate the difference between potential and reality
Potential & reality explained

Little johnny asks his dad if he could help with a school essay;
"What's the essay" asks dad.
Johnny says 'it's about the difference between potential and reality... I don't get it, dad"...
"Potential and reality?..Ok", says dad... "Go and find mum and ask her - if the postman knocked on the door and had 1 million dollars, and said he'd give it to her if she slept with him, would she?"
So johnny finds mum and asks her the question...... Johnnys mum answers, "of course I would, johnny. 1 million dollars would set us up nicely"..
A bit shocked, he goes and tells dad of mums answer........ Dad says, "now go up to your big sisters room and ask her the same question....
So Johnny goes up to her room and says, "hey sis, if the postman knocked on the door and had 1 million dollars, and said he'd give it to you if you slept with him, would you?"
His big sister says , "like totally! I'd even take a selfy with all that cash and put it on FB!!!"
Johnny goes back to dad shaking his head and says, "Yeah she would too, dad!"
"Ok, son, your big brother is in the garage working on his car... Go and ask him", says dad...
So little johnny goes out to the garage and asks his big bro'..... "hey, bro" says johnny, " if the postman knocked on the door and had 1 million dollars, and said he'd give it to you if you slept with him, would you?"..... His brother laughed and said, " hell yeah johnny!. I could buy a v8, go to Europe, and move into my own house!"....
Shocked, little johnny goes back to dad and tells him "yeah he would too, dad"...
"Well", says dad, "there you go. That's the difference between potential and reality"...
"What do you mean, dad", asks johnny....
Dad replies...... "You see, son. This family has the potential to make make 3 million dollars, but in reality, all we have is 2 sluts and a f*ckn ******t.......

The advantages of living as an NRL player out of the Sydney fish bowl.
Brisbane peeps are to slow to get footage of the incident on their mobiles and load post on social media (if they have social media up there yet).
If it happened in Sydney all hell would break loose.
Think Mitchel Pearce
Laughing all the way to the bank...
"Corey Norman's off-field antics haven't cost him a place at Parramatta after the club officially locked in their playmaker on a $750,000 per season extension. Norman will remain in the blue and gold until the end of 2019 after the Eels worked through a range of salary cap issues with head office."

Ted,
I recall that player was Justin Hodges who was dropped to reserve grade when he signed with the roosters.
And where did he end up ?
Snake man - Yes - sadly that will not be forgotten for a while. Your girls were the best team well and truely - as they have been the last few years.
Scotty - that's the point - they all do it when it suits - but only when it's suits - no consistently. So take these decisions out of their hands. Problem solved !
