    David Gyngell and James Packer put on a similar public performance and it didn't impact negatively on their careers . So I don't see why Sandow's career should be in jeopardy over this little scrap.

    Oh - sorry I forgot. He's Aboriginal. Different rules.

    Love it though, fair one on one fight and after the guy goes to ground Sandow gives him a hand up and a pat on the back, how some scores should be settled.

    Exactly. Sandow and the other bloke have moved on everyone else should.

    Would be fitting for Joey v2.0 to exit the same way.

    The majority of professional athletes are taking performance enhancing drugs. It's not cheating it's just the way it is. Sure it would be nice to live in a world where it doesn't happen but the reality is performance enhancing drugs are everywhere these days.
    Bigger, stronger, faster is what everyone wants but nobody wants to accept how it is achieved.
    I actually feel sorry for Mullen because he has a family to support and the media are going to crucify him for simply wanting to get himself right for the coming season.
    The athletes are the victims here not the criminals. Sponsors know what goes on as do the broadcasters, clubs and the ruling bodies of sports.
    Sure they bust a few athletes but they do it selectively and they always do it with an eye on the till.
    Then you have the fans who will rip into players when they get busted for drugs but on other occasions rip a player apart because they don't appear to be putting in. Well, good chance your bloke, not putting in is running clean so it's a case of damned if you do damned you don't.

    They should legalise drugs for all power sports and leave it up to the athletes to decide how far they want to go.
    And for those saying it sets a bad example for kids go have a look at the injuries these blokes suffer and you soon realise brain and spinal injuries are of far greater concern than blokes testing positive to steroids and the like.

    I was also referring to the protein powders and so on which are not on the banned list. They may not be against the rules but it shows intent to take something to improve performance just the same.
    The drug testing though is a waste of time in that it doesn't take a piss or blood test to work out what is going on.
    I mean, today's half backs would have been big enough to play as props not too long ago. Moreover, we also have blokes playing these days that are in excess of 115kg who are lightening quick over 35 metres.

    To be fair though there's been plenty of space dedicated to Rugby League trouble over the years, it's just that it's always one certain 'type' of fan they concentrate on.

    Good to see NRL is getting serious about head injuries - 10 minutes in the bin for an off the ball elbow to the head followed by 3 or so punches. That'll teach em! Two other cheap high shots as well.
