One of our biggest problems is that we rarely contest a charge, just cop it and hence our players have a bad record.
Not sure who makes these decisions, but I think we should fight for downgrades etc. We should have contested t-rex's charge, bugger risking soo, we pay him and should have had more say in it.
Since des went to the dogs they have contested most of their charges and got off almost scott free.
I really believe if in the past we had contested some of Matai's charges he would have got off and not have the bad record he has, something I also think has been blown out of all proportion when you look at other serial offenders
