    Why didn't the onfield leadership group (and coaching staff If they were aware of it) stop it?

    Not the best day for our club, nor the best day for Hill, DJ, Stack or Jones.

    Hm, a few comprehension problems here and in some other people's posts about my "assuming" that the racial sledging occurred all match.

    If clearly signifies that it might have happened or might not, and of speculation and doubt not certainty.

    I don't know what actually happened on Saturday nor does anyone else here. It might have been a one-off, happened a few times or happened all game.

    There was an allegation it happened all game, and so I commented IF this was true. I didn't assume it was true.

    Who knows how often it happened but players certainly knew it happened.

    Certain players would tell someone to stop being an asshole but others probably most would just sit back and not say anything.

    Our club seems to have a lot of the sit back type.

    If so, then in a sense Sherman isn't the only guilty one.

    If the bolded bit in your post is true, what the hell was our so-called Leadership Group doing?

    On a positive note, I watched the press conference. Sherman looked terrible but gee Garlick was terrific.

    Haven't heard speak before - very impressive.

    Agreed ... It's my first interaction with him as CEO ... I too was impressed.

    I don't believe this is true. With the leadership programme in place, issues are dealt with more promptly than they would have in the past.
