CEO Todd Greenberg has spoken saying it's time for the talking to stop.
The NRL will no longer tolerate the continued idiotic and offensive off-field behaviour of their players. Of a small percentage of their players, let's make that point loud and clear.
Because the silent majority don't misbehave, don't bring the game into disrepute and do respect both the sport itself and the terms and conditions of their own individual employment contracts.
Greenberg, reeling from another summer of scandalous scurrilous shenanigans is quite clearly sick and tired of being sick and tired of what's become the one big blight on one of Australasia's most popular sporting comps.
From now on in he wants the headlines to be about, and to only be about, what happens inside the lines and he's determined to take affirmative proactive action to ensure his edict be forever observed.
