Firstly, it isn't 'clear' who the ring leader is.
Nor is it clear who was there and what they were doing.
The pile on attitude of fans is as frustrating to me as what the players have alledgedly done.
When we get good news about stadium and a request to put a comment on the plans its like a tumbleweed thread. Something happens where players can be criticised the world is suddenly an outraged season ticket holder who feels betrayed.
Get a grip.
They broke a law that has an initial penalty less than a speeding fine.
They did something that is potentially harmful to others which can be handled with testing and isolation.
They embarrassed the club and gave us some bad PR, which the club have said they will handle and have clearly started doing so with the Gigot news.
I'm not happy with what they did at all. I'm happy that the club will handle it.
So the people who want to discuss it by all means do. I'll do the same.
The people who only want to come on and stick the boot in need to grow up a bit.
Again some of what you say is true.
Where you are wrong imo and being typically perverse is regarding the ringleader. Come off it PT, those involved according to every report I’ve seen from those who saw it has been confirmed so may I politely suggest you get a grip!
As Fifita was there unless everyone is fibbing he was almost certainly at the heart of it, he always is, he’s that kind of bloke. You claim to have played RL, if you have you will know that Fifita is the kind of bloke other players revolve around. They are not necessarily malicious but they do call all the shots especially where weaker personalities are concerned. If you don’t know these kinds of people then you lived in a bubble long before Covid.
He may not of issued orders or even instigated but you can be sure he soon became enthusiastically involved and almost certainly took the lead. It’s that from your best paid most senior player in terms of profile that makes it so wrong. Not just that he has form or doesn’t that count.
It’s actually the polar opposite of what it should be in truth. Fifita 31, family man and high profile player should be able to resist a beer. It should be Crowther or Jowitt who as young men you might expect to break rules, something they don’t seem to have done.
This is where you’re post mirrors how society in general has gone so wrong. You seem hell bend on defending the lowest common denominator. Whether it be troll posters or rogue players, it’s every time. Yet quality posters pack in posting on here because you’re on there backs constantly for stating the obvious truth regarding the above. I don’t think you’re malicious either but for heavens sake some things are simply obvious.
These players are not victims, the truth is out there on social media for all to see. They did that, nobody else and they should be punished in due course in whatever way the club sees fit. However to pretend the evidence isn’t damning and there are somehow some mitigating circumstance, give us all a break.
In fairness I’m now going to hunt down this video if I can to assure myself, I will let you know either way if I’m successful.
