Brisbane have terminated the contracts of Neville Costigan and Brett Seymour
Finally a club has the balls to do such actions, although if it had been Darren Lockyer, would of he faced the same fate? Not a chance in hell.

Of course not. Ignoring this case, look at: Tevita Latu. Manhandles a woman at a gas station and the Sharks sack him. Craig Gower: gets ****ed at a golf tournament and gets overly "friendly" with a teenager. Still has a job.Craig said:
There are different rules for star players, and neither Brett Seymour nor Neville Costigan are good enough to get the excuses.

Didn't Gower have a swing at the girl's brother too when he suggested he might like to leave his sister alone? All-round good guy, Craig.Mundane Yogi said:
Mind you he was clobbered financially, wasn't he? Possibly even bigger punishment than being sacked; Seymour would have absolutely no probs picking up a contract for more than he was getting at an ESL team.

And yes Gower was fined a far bit and was thinking about asking for a release from his contract and Melbourne expressed their interest had he come a free agent, but with Cooper Cronk (doesn't that sound like a pretty bogan name?) going so well, who need's Gower? Melbourne don't.

Apparently Seymour and Costigan both have a history of repeat offences. If Lockyer was in the same situation, I'm sure he would have been dealt the same fate. However, he is much wiser and I doubt he would drive 3 times over the limit just for a handburger. Lockyer has had his fair share of instances in his early career, but they were relatively minor, and of course is older and wiser now and wouldn't be doing those things.Mundane Yogi said:
A bit off the topic, but I think if someone is caught & arrested for drink driving, they should lose their licence for life, or until they become sober. I would hate to be the judge that let someone off with a fine of drink driving and them have them back in court for drink driving and killing someone. People are well enough enformed to know that if you drink and drive not only do you put your own life at risk, but others also.

I don't think it's always necessarily a bad thing that one player calls the shots for a particular team, provided they have a plan "B" if he's injured. I think a lot of St George's issues of late are a case of "too many cooks" with Barrett, Head & Gasnier all not quite singing from the same hymn sheet.broncoman said:
& Cronulla can't buy a win with Dykes & Kimmorley in the same team. So they drop Albert & bench Vagana & Gallen. Obviously....
