Where did I mention it was ok to fight during any game ??
I said for mud to blame the violence that is happening outside of sports on what has been said and done on a rugby field is ridiculous !!
There are way more damaging things happening in the world that would be influencing kids than a fight on a rugby field !!

This 'chimpanzee/ape' is a 'sandgroper too PP, but like anyone with a grain of sense, I got sick of watching the girly acadamy award nominees currently branded as AFL prancing around, and opted for a game where there was actually some form of real contest.

I grew up in the Barry Cable, Jack Sheedy, Trizzy Lawrence, Mal Brown days, and what they pass off as AFL nowadays would make blokes like that hang up the boots in disgust.

mal brown was the biggest thug going around , he make gallan look like a tooth fairy

Yep spot on

I still say that it comes back to respect and discipline.
It is very rare to see either one and almost impossible to see both these days.

On a daily basis, I see primary school kids who have absolutely no discipline or respect. They tell teachers and the principal to get f’ed at the drop of a hat.
They think that going to prison is a badge of honour.
One 10 y/o kid told me he loves prison ‘because you get to play on the Ipad all day”
It wasn’t that long ago that Origin and Grand Final games could guarantee an all in brawl early on ‘just to settle the dust’

Good on the league for trying to stamp it out but they need to think about the way they do it.
Still love to see a heavy impact game without the biff.

Time to create a Rollerball league
