Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.
Bottom line is league has been getting terrible press for years now because of the dreadful behaviour of so many off the field, and Johns has been caught in the crossfire. Bad luck or timing doesn't matter - once this came out it was bound to be all over for him.
Whilst what johns and co did was not 'illegal' it was pretty grubby (not the first revelation of sordid group sex leading to complaints either - see the Broncos and Bulldogs for details on that one). If that was your daughter what would you think? Whilst 'footy fans' might be on his side, the vast majority of women want Johns lynched as far as I can tell.
We can all talk about whether league players should/shouldn't be 'role models', but to be frank its about time the late night fighting and other assorted sordid behaviour like this case led to a mass clearout of players if that's what it takes to clean up the sport's image.
The other codes here have their problems but league seems to have a peculiarly time-warped 70s culture where the 'lads' think they can get away with anything.
