Let's see how Mr "Double Standards" Gallop handles this one!!!!

I heard an interview yesterday with Zappia, the Sharks CEO, who stated that Seymour had admitted to being so drunk he couldn't recall anything he had done. To clear him of any wrongdoing is a total joke. He either let the club down badly, which it sure sounded like it yesterday, or he wasn't off his face. Too bad that he has already admitted to being in that state. Gallop???? Today is a real test!

I was quite impressed with NRL on Fox last night. The entire panel including the much loathed Laurie Daley all said that if these guys aren't stood down, then it isnt fair.

Warren Smith said that Brett should go to court get an immediate injunction if they are not stood down for 4 weeks. Laurie was hesitant to agree and tried to focus more on calling for an independent tribunal but they all largely agreed with Smith when he said that Brett should seek an injunction and play ASAP

If Fox's league spokesmen are going limp on Gallop, then News Ltd is too.  No wonder Gallop is hinting at News divesting themselves of the NRL. I'm putting my farm on Gallop not seeing the season out.  A Canberra job for him.  A home for hypocrites really.
