Can Rugby use the AFL /Channel 7 strike to Rugby and the ARC'S Advantage?

I believe the Wendels in the AFL should be well and truly exposed. These papers were stolen from a rehabilitation centre, not a Doctor's surgery! Now who do you think financed their time away? The hypocrites in the AFL is my suspicion. The ones who's sport and players are so pure they have to catch them three times with needles in their arms before they even whisper their names, let alone ban them.

Put aside for a moment the morality of the thief and of channel 7.

Think for a moment about the morality of this pathetic code protecting these junkies from exposure as the weak slimy bastards they are.

well said Fulvio......

I agree with both sides in this debate..... does that make me a fence sitter?

[hopep]

No. being a fence sitter would mean you agree with none.
trying to be on both sides of the fence makes you .... sore!

Fulvios got a point though. The AFL try too hard to cover up and protect, so you'd expect some journalistic investigation - but "buying" medical records (covered by very strong confidentiality laws) is pretty daft as well as illegal.

I think this is a win-win situation. I despise both the AFL and Channel 7. I say smash each other into oblivion (although I think that is unlikely).
