bout 70 survivors of RPA’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and their families have donned their most creative hats for the hospital’s annual Easter Bonnet Parade. The NICU survivors, aged from four months to six-years-old, paraded their fi nery for prizes in front of a gathering of families and hospital staff . “The RPA Easter Bonnet Parade is such a celebratory, joyous and life-affi rming event for everyone – the young survivors, their families and our staff ,” said NICU Director, Dr David Osborn. A chance for many parents to return to RPA to bring closure to a traumatic time of their life, the Easter Bonnet Parade is also opportunity for the unit’s staff to see how far their charges have come. “Very rarely do families and children come back to the hospital for something positive – not to see a doctor and not for treatment,” said Dalia Brigham, a fundraising manager at RPA who began the event three years ago. Ms Brigham has a personal connection with the NICU, as her grandson Hugo was brought to the centre when he was a newborn. But now six years on and he is perfectly healthy. “I just feel so delighted to be a part of this celebration – to be honest, it brings tears to my eyes,” she said. The NICU looks after around 900 sick and premature babies each year from RPA.

ast weekend I had a Saturday night I will never forget. There was no partying, no music, no alcohol… although it did involve a hell of a lot of drugs. No need to alert the Police though, it was all entirely legal and above board – I was in hospital. Over two days I stayed in two different hospitals, and had a hell of a lot of time to myself to stop and think about things. The fi rst conclusion I came to was that doctors and nurses are amazingly admirable for what they do. Admittedly, everyone knows that – but I was of that opinion for a number of reasons. The main reason was that I hate going to hospitals – they are depressing places where I’ve never had an enjoyable time, nor ever gone there and received good news – yet day after day members of the medical industry front up there for work. But another reason for
admiration is the amount of fl ack they cop. My fi rst port of call on the weekend was the Emergency Department at St Vincent’s Hospital – and almost as painful as my broken hand was the man in the waiting room who was screaming abuse at staff and banging on windows. How on earth he thought that would help his cause is beyond me – in fact it only caused him more trauma, because security guards (thankfully) promptly punted him out of the hospital. There was also the bloke next to me in a ward at Sydney Hand Hospital who, after lights out, spent several hours bemoaning the “f***ing stupid c**ts” that ran that particular institution. I just didn’t understand why on earth he would behave like that. I couldn’t thank the staff there enough when I was discharged on Sunday night…but that may be just because I was high as a kite on painkillers.
If we wound the clocks back 100 years, I would’ve simply been left a cripple. My thumb had been dislocated playing footy, and no physio or doctor in Sydney had been able to get it back into place – and I guarantee you that was not through lack of trying (if we had an Olympic tug-of-war team, the trials were held at my bedside over the weekend). It was only thanks to a combination of skilful surgeons, plentiful painkillers and top-shelf technology that my hand could be returned to its original glory. My other main thought from my weekend was that any patient who toughs out a lengthy period in hospital is just as admirable as the people who treat them. Another guy in my room took it upon himself to crack gags and generally lift the spirits of our entire ward, all despite the fact his fi nger had been effectively sawn off by an angle grinder. Happy Easter to all.

Inner city dims the lights
Local homes and businesses are quick to embrace the global movement that is Earth Hour Millions of people, businesses and governments around the world unite each year to support the largest environmental event in history, and the inner city is no exception. BY LOUISE BOURKE
L
ocal homes and businesses joined 1.8 billion people in 135 countries around the world when they decided to switch off their lights for Earth Hour last weekend. The streets were decidedly dimmer from 8.30pm on Saturday as more people than in previous years participated in the global movement, which shows support for environmentally sustainable action. “We think it’s important to show our support for a cause that we believe in,” said a staff member from Newtown restaurant, 12, whose patrons dined with candles for the hour. “We’ve done it in the past, and our customers really enjoy the atmosphere.” King Street restaurants Rubyos, Th ai Times 9, Ice and Slice, Newtown Thai, Soff rito, Buzzzbar and Gigi all took part in Earth Hour. Further afi eld, Marrickville Council turned off all non-essential lighting at its administration centre, depot building, town halls and libraries. Marrickville Mayor, Morris Hanna, said the Council was proud to support the initiative and take part in the global show of support for a sustainable energy future.

Mural apology
Man says sorry for taking away right to free speech BY LOUISE BOURKE
T Don't let potential burglars get the better of you this Easter.
Security warning
Protect your home over the holidays from potential burglars
N
RMA Insurance is warning local residents heading away this Easter to be extra careful with home security to help stop potential burglars robbing empty homes. “Our claims data showed that burglars are targeting easy to grab items like laptops, digital cameras and MP3 players because they tend to be light to carry and easy to pawn,” said NRMA Insurance spokesperson,
Tracy Woodley. “We’ve also found an increasing number of mobile phones being stolen from the home. Th is may be because a lot more people have smart phones which are worth more than an average mobile phone.” Ms Woodley said there were simple precautions residents could take to protect their homes. “Remember to always lock up, regardless of whether
you are away for fi ve minutes or the entire holiday period. Avoid leaving packaging for big ticket items outside your home and use light timers so it looks like someone is home,” she said. NRMA Insurance security recommendations include: • Lock the house every time you go out • Never leave a message on the answering machine saying you are away.
he man who vandalised the controversial ‘Say no to Burqas’ mural in February has apologised for his actions in a letter to the mural’s artist, Sergio Redegalli, promising to never deface the mural again. Peter Kaplan said vandalising the wall was a “thoughtless act” and acknowledged by defacing the mural, he had taken away Mr Redegalli’s “right to free speech”. “I have a strong belief in free speech and as such my own actions were against these ideals,” he wrote. “There is no justifi cation that I can give for my actions, they were wrong.” The Inner City Weekender reported Mr Kaplan’s arrest by local police on February 24 for malicious damage after he defaced the mural with paint.

Marrickville Council says it has no plans to outsource waste services.
Misleading on waste
Council says flyer to outsource waste services is potentially inflammatory BY LOUISE BOURKE
M
arrickville Council has denied reports that it plans to outsource waste collection services, following the distribution of a fl yer to residents by a third party claiming the opposite. The Council is currently in talks with the United Services Union (USU) to negotiate a new Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) for its waste collection. Council says a fl yer, which it
believes was distributed by the USU, misrepresents Council’s position on the EBA negotiations and inaccurately refers to plans to outsource services. “Council’s preference is to continue to employ a productive and flexible labour workforce to deliver services,” a Council spokesperson said. “Council remains committed to good faith bargaining and has requested the fl yer be withdrawn as it is misleading and potentially inflammatory.”
It is understood that the USU representatives involved in the discussions about a new EBA told Council they had no knowledge of the flyer. The USU was contacted for comment, however they did not respond by the time The Inner City Weekender went to print. Waste collection services were disrupted on Tuesday due to industrial action. What do you think of outsourcing Marrickville’s waste collection services? Email louise.bourke@ innercityweekender.com.au.
At around 5.50am on Sunday, April 1, a taxi-driver picked up two men from Star Casino and dropped them at the intersection of New Canterbury Road and Eltham Street, at the passenger’s request. One man then stole the driver’s wallet and a number of credit cards. Th e man then ran in an easterly direction towards The Boulevarde. The second man was last seen running north along Eltham Street. The fi rst man is described as being of Aboriginal appearance, 20-years-old, 170cm tall, with an athletic build and short black hair. He was last seen wearing a darkcoloured t-shirt and blue jeans. The second man is described as being of Caucasian appearance, 20-25 years of age, 180cm tall, and overweight. He was last seen wearing a brown hooded jumper and blue jeans. Anyone with information about the identity or current whereabouts of the two men, or who witnessed suspicious activity in the area should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Police attached to Newtown Local Area Command were patrolling the area and allegedly approached the group, who then ran from the area. Th e three alleged o ffenders were arrested by police a short distance away. All three were taken to Newtown Police Station and subsequently charged with malicious damage.

Missed deadline?
Transport Minister says MPs are trying to score political points BY LOUISE BOURKE
T
he Transport Minister, Gladys Berejiklian, has pulled up local MPs Carmel Tebbutt and Linda Burney over accusations she missed a deadline to respond to the 10,500 signature GreenWay petition tabled in parliament in February. Ms Tebbutt and Ms Burney issued a media release on March 27 claiming that the Minister had missed the March 20 deadline. “I am outraged that the residents of the inner west, of which more than 10,000 have put their position to the government, have been ignored and disrespected by a Minister who has not responded to them,” Ms Tebbutt said. Ms Berejiklian issued her own statement later in the week revealing that she had responded before the deadline, saying that the two MPs were trying to score “cheap political points”. “As recorded on the NSW Parliament website, the government’s response

ore than 44,000 inner west homes and businesses will be connected to the National Broadband Network (NBN) by 2015, the Prime Minister announced on Thursday. Enmore, Newtown, St Peters, Stanmore, Sydenham and Canterbury have been selected to receive the new infrastructure, which will be rolled out from this month. Grayndler MP, Anthony Albanese, welcomed the
news, saying the NBN was about more than just faster broadband. “It’s about families in the inner west getting online to access health and aged care services, it’s about people who need government services being able to access those online, and it’s about our kids getting access to world class education services,” he said. The NBN will connect 93 per cent of homes and businesses around
Australia to high-speed fi bre broadband, capable of speeds of one gigabit per second. The other seven per cent will have access to high-speed fi xedwireless or next-generation satellite technologies. Under the three year rollout plan, construction of the fi bre network in local suburbs will continue progressively until June 30, 2015. Visit www.nbnco.com. au/rollout/ for more details.

including Councillors,” he said. Council’s General Manager, Ken Gainger, said Councillors hadn’t explained to him why they were absent and it would be premature to discuss possible disciplinary action.

Local artist has work featured in new book on Australian dogs
D
ogs come in all shapes and sizes, colours and coats, and have been the subject of artists’ work for centuries. It’s no wonder then, that a new book, Dogs in Australian Art, examines how dogs have been depicted in Australian artwork from colonial times to the modern day. Local artist, Geoff Harvey, has his work featured in the new book. Mr Harvey, from St Peters, is delighted that his sculptures of Ibizan hounds were included. “It’s quite astonishing that a book on dogs in art [in Australia] has not been published before this one, given it is such a popular theme for artists past and present,” he said. “From the early colonial watercolours of dingoes to the more whimsical depiction of contemporary dogs in art, [the] book is a fascinating and insightful read.” Mr Harvey creates his hounds with scraps of bronze and aluminium from his workshop. The pack proved to be a popular attraction at last year’s Sculpture by the Sea

10 BUSINESS Business Finance Don t go it alone
Team up with other businesses Buddying up with like-minded business operators not only helps SMEs to share ideas and tools, but the economies of scale that cooperatives offer can save a business time and money. But would you work with competitors to profit together? Cooperatives can be a good idea for small businesses that don’t have strong buying power or access to competitive pricing. For interested business owners many associations already exist for the mutual social, economic and cultural benefit of their members, operating in various industries; think electricians, hairdressers and farmers as examples. For mechanics, for instance, there is Capricorn; an automotive parts buying cooperative with 14,000 members across Australia and New Zealand. Members buy a share in the organisation, and in return get access to about 2,000 suppliers and more competitive pricing on parts, due to its ability to buy in bulk and guaranteed payment to suppliers. And to simplify accounting all suppliers are listed on the one invoice. Small businesses are always looking for ways to save time and keep their costs down. So even though your business and the one down the road may be in competition, if you work together you both can be become more profitable and more efficient.

It would be wise to allow for delays if you have an important journey to take or are planning to take a break away! It is important to be careful of what you say as someone is certain to take offence! It is of paramount importance that you take steps to look after your health and energy, so make time for a bit of R&R!

August 24 to September 23
Turn your attention to your finances as unexpected outlays are likely and you’ll need to revamp your budget in order to accommodate them! We all know how much you love your retail therapy, but it’s pointless spending money you don’t have and not having anything on hand when it’s needed! If you’ve been over working lately than it’s time to pull back a little and not allow others to expect unrealistic expectations from you!

September 24 to Oct 23
With the Full Moon falling directly in your own sign you’re likely to be feeling ratty and sharp-tongued and because of this you may say things that you’ll regret once you’ve finally calmed down! It will be necessary for you to rest and calm your nerves, therefore it’s important not to make any major decisions until April 14! With Pluto in an adverse position to your sun sign it’s time to slow down at work and let others take on the bulk of the workload!

It is important to take the time out to rest and look after your health as time away from your problems will give you fresh insight! Certain tensions in your personal life will need to be addressed before you can proceed onwards. There is also a need for your partner or spouse to better manage their health. You will need to discuss some of their personal or daily habits in order to further improve your relationship as a whole!

Nov 23 to Dec 21
Social plans may be cancelled or rearranged at the last minute, so try to have a ‘plan b’ up your sleeve! Troubles are likely with friendships and unfortunately one of them is about to wind its way to an end. Alternatively, friends may be going through a difficult time and will need a shoulder to lean upon! If you’ve been feeling a little isolated or lonely then pick up the phone, call a few friends and arrange a social get together!

Problems are likely on the working front and differences between yourself and others are going to be rather obvious! However, you must not let conflicting perceptions bog you down and obstruct you from putting your best foot forward when it comes to handling your tasks. There is always a solution to a problem and the answer may be simpler than you think. So maybe it might be a good idea for you to ask someone to help you out!
With the planets in such a tense situation in your chart you are going to be feeling a little more stressed out than usual. This is the ideal time in which to take some time out for yourself away from all the demands of your career and family life. When dealing with loved ones try to be careful of being of being irritable and impatient. If people aren’t prepared to discuss issues when you are, let them slide and don’t be too demanding!

Control your temper and remember to count to 100 before you say anything you will regret. Be careful of running yourself into the ground trying to organise everybody around you! I know you are only trying to make a good impression but your abrasive manner may turn people off! Go over bank statements and bills with a fine comb to make sure everything is in order as you may of forgotten to pay an important invoice!

Don't be a sheep

The truth about soy
Keeping Fit Q. Th ere seems to be a lot of c o nt r o v e r s y about the benefits vs the harmful effects of soy. What’s your opinion? We fi nd soy as milk in baby formula, as tofu, miso (soybean paste), sauce... it’s even added into our breads and cereals, and if that is not enough, it’s used as a meat substitute in vegetarian foods. Th e simple soybean, raw and in its natural state, has many health benefits including it being a rich source of protein. However, the soybean is so completely over processed that it is a wonder if any nutrients still exist in the shinier and newer model. Th e typical soybean, unless stated ‘organic’, has been genetically modifi ed. The unprocessed version of the soybean and its health benefits In truth, the most nutritious forms of soy are in its fermented form. Th e extended research into the soybean suggests that when it comes to our health, the soy is at its best when eaten using traditional preparation methods as this leaves the
isoflavones intact. Isoflavones are phytoestrogens (in other words plant oestrogens) and have oestrogenic activity. Studies suggest that these isoflavones may: Decrease LDL cholesterol, lessen symptoms of menopause and protect against heart disease. Soy and the thyroid There are long-standing questions and concerns as to whether soy has a negative effect on thyroid function. Research suggests that the isoflavones found in soy may inhibit thyroid function. But there have been further studies suggesting that it is toxic to the thyroid only if there is an iodine deficiency, or if there are other goitrogenic foods in high amount in the diet. These include kale, broccoli and brussel sprouts. Iodine rich foods include seaweed such as kelp, dulse, wakame and hijiki. So while soy has been branded as a health food and processed into almost every product available on the market, some of these products may not be healthy as they may slow down digestion and thyroid function.
David Stein I come across many people worried about their cholesterol level, eating only egg whites or low cholesterol products like margarine. Th ey can’t say exactly why but they’re just sure it will cause a heart attack. In an eight year long heart study, researchers observed 10,000 people with high cholesterol levels. Half of them received a best-selling statin drug. The other half were simply told to eat a normal diet and get enough exercise. The results stunned the researchers. Although the statin drug did indeed lower serum cholesterol, this had no impact whatsoever on death rate, non-fatal heart attacks and fatal arterial disease. In other words, the statin-users had zero advantage over those who received no treatment at all. However, they had just spent eight years taking a costly drug with known side effects – risking liver failure, muscle wasting, even sudden death. Lowering cholesterol either through drugs or low fat diets does not lower the risk of developing heart disease.
CANTERBURY
All the major European longterm cholesterol studies have confi rmed that a low-fat diet did not reduce cholesterol levels by more than four per cent, in most cases merely one to two per cent. Your body can make its own anyway, it’s essential for life. Cholesterol levels can naturally increase by 20 per cent in autumn and drop again during winter! Th e anti-cholesterol campaigns since the late 1980s have been very misleading, to say the least. A more recent study from Denmark involving 20,000 men and women demonstrated that most heart disease patients have normal cholesterol levels. The bottom line is that cholesterol hasn’t been proved a risk factor for anything. The recent INTERHEART study found the top nine indicators for a heart attack, and total cholesterol isn’t one! Th ey have shown ApoB ratios to be the important factor. The other factors include smoking, exercise, diet and obesity, among other preventable lifestyle choices. One of the study physicians commented “mankind is doing a good job of killing itself”. I think we are all trying but
it’s hard with the confl icting information from companies picking what information suits their product. Don’t be a sheep, do your own research. Educate yourself regarding what you are putting in and doing to your body. Talk to your doc or trainer or health professional and don’t be afraid to ask why? When it comes to your body and health, like it or not, ignore it and it will fade away! Look after it and it will pay you back tenfold!

arrickville’s musicians have a chance to break into the music industry by performing at a free live music event, The Break, on Sunday, April 15 at Tillman Park, Tempe. The Break offers a platform for young and emerging acts to play in front of a festival audience, with one act to win the chance to play on the
Marrickville Festival stage in October. The winners of The Break 2011 event, Ungus Ungus Ungus, performed at The Marrickville Festival last October to a huge crowd and continue to succeed in the local music scene. Last year’s event also included performances from New Navy, who have received signifi cant airplay over the past year – their
hit song ‘Zimbabwe’ was voted in as number 67 on the 2011 Triple J Hottest 100 countdown. As well as live music, The Break will feature food stalls, activities and a jumping castle for kids throughout the afternoon. The Break will launch Marrickville Council’s Youth Week 2012 activities on Sunday, April 15 from 12pm-6pm at Tillman Park.
rom the mind of theatrical director, Steve Rodgers, the novel new play, Food, is a story about obsession, sex and how we nourish ourselves. Elma (Kate Box) and Nancy (Emma Jackson) are sisters. Nancy left their remote, truck stop home many years ago while Elma stayed. Nancy chose chaos, freedom and sex; Elma stayed behind and cooked. Now Nancy has returned and their lives are disrupted by the arrival of a restless Turkish traveller, Hakan Leventoglu, played by Fayssal Bazzi. “Food, as the title suggests, is a play about food and cooking, but it’s also very much about sex, and how our relationship with both can defi ne us, and occupy so much of our breathing time,” said the director, Steve Rodgers. “Food and sex are beautiful things – both necessary for our survival

SYDNEY ROYAL EASTER SHOW
EASTER FUN FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY
I
t’s that time of year again when the friendly folk of the country head out to the big smoke for the Sydney Royal Easter Show. This year’s two-week event is set to be the best one yet, featuring all your old favourites plus some sensational technological advances that will make your time at the Show far more enjoyable and stress-free. General Manager of the Sydney Royal Easter Show, Michael Collins, said that one of the crowd favourites each and every year was Sydney Dome’s ‘District Exhibits’, which is constructed out of Australia’s best fruit, vegetables and produce. “This year exhibits will be centred around the ‘Australia Year of the Farmer’ and they look absolutely spectacular,” he said. “One exhibit features 17 farmers made out of wool and another exhibit looks at agriculture and that’s made out of seeds, it just looks just so life-like.” This year’s Easter Show will feature everyone’s much-loved carnival rides including the brand new ‘Super Slide’, which replaces the old ‘Giant Slide’, and is set to be one of the most popular attractions over the fortnight. “The new Super Slide is brand new to the show and looks fantastic,” Mr Collins said. “The slide is now portable and has a fantastic LED lighting package on it, it just looks sensational and is only three coupons ($3) a ride.” Since 1823 the Show has been a hallmark event in the state’s calendar. Australian society and lifestyles have
changed enormously in that time, and today the role of the Show is more vital than ever. The Show brings together country and city, while showcasing some of the things that Australia does best. One handy addition to assist with the huge crowds at the Show this year is the ability for people to reserve their seat in the showground – meaning no one will be forced to stand or miss any of the showground arena action. “We survey people every year to see what they think about the Show and reserved seating in the showground was one thing people suggested to us,” Mr Collins said. “We’ve got 17,000 seats in the arena, so we’ve just reserved 1,000 seats a night for people to be able to sit down and enjoy all the action.” Reserve seating inside the showground arena will cost $10 per seat or $32 per family of four and can be purchased online. But perhaps the best thing about the Easter Show this year is their website, www.eastershow. com.au. This year the Easter Show website is as interactive as ever and people can take advantage of fantastic discounts on entry passes, carnival coupons, off-peak bargains on rides, a run down on everything happening at the Show, and the cool feature of creating your own itinerary to suit you and your family. Showbag lovers are also in for a treat because not only are there 342 showbags to choose from, but now instead of trawling the Showbag Pavilion to buy a bag or two or three,

people can pop online and create their own ‘Showbag Wishlist’ and set it to a certain budget. “I advise families to log on to our website, put in a budget of how much they want to spend on showbags, which will then reveal a list of showbags suited to your family and budget,” Mr Collins said.
Mr Collins has assured The Inner City Weekender there would be extra stock of popular showbags on hand. The Sydney Royal Easter Show is now on at Sydney Olympic Park until Wednesday, April 18. To book and for more information visit www. eastershow.com.au.

Young players shine bright Two local players receive high accolades at the Football New South Wales awards night BY LOUISE BOURKE
T
wo young players from the Sydney Futsal Club have been recognised for their extraordinary performances in the season just gone, receiving awards at the Football New South Wales (FNSW) ceremony last month. Hussein Akil was crowned 2011/12 FNSW Futsal Super League Men’s Player of the Year, while Costa D’Addona was awarded 2011/12 FNSW Futsal Super League Goalkeeper of the Year. “Both gentlemen played for our fi rst grade men’s squad and given that Hussein is 21 and Costa is 20 years of age, this is a remarkable achievement for two young men in a year where our team was decimated with injuries and absences,” said Lorenzo D’Addona, the club’s Operations Manager. “Both gentlemen were integral in the club’s drive towards the finals series, falling at the last hurdle.” The fi rst grade team fi nished fi fth in the competition after injuries and absentees saw them slip from second place with four rounds to go. The club, which is based at the Marrickville PCYC, runs men’s and women’s teams in the Sydney-wide competition. Lorenzo D’Addona said the outlook for the local club was promising with a raft of young players like Hussein and Costa coming through the grades.

TIGER RUMBLINGS
Season finished Sydney FC bow out off the A-League competition
A
gallant Sydney FC has bowed out of the 2011/12 Hyundai A-League after going down 3-2 to the Wellington Phoenix in a thrilling elimination fi nal at Westpac Stadium last weekend. The A-League’s comeback kings almost did it again, returning from 2-0 down thanks to a Joel Chianese brace in the 80th and 84th minute, before Paul Ifi ll broke Sydney FC’s heart by scoring an 85th minute penalty to see the Wellington side progress to the fi nals rounds. The match was a thriller with four goals in a pulsating six-minute burst towards the end of the game but for the Sky Blues, a stop-start season fi nished in the same way. The loss not only ended the 2011/12 campaign but brought to a close the Sydney FC career of popular coach, Vitezslav Lavicka, who will leave Sydney as the Sky Blues’ most successful coach in history having steered the club to a minor premiership and a grand fi nal win in his fi rst season.

T
he NRL released details of round 13 and 14 of the competition this week. In round 13, the Tigers are set for a frosty Saturday night in Canberra, while in round 14, it’s a trip to Melbourne for a Friday night blockbuster. Tim Sheens deserves to be fi lthy at his players after they gave away the game against Souths last weekend. But Sheens rightly looked at some of the positives. After all, the side did lead 16-4 with fi ve minutes to go so were clearly the better side for much of the game. Stand-in skipper Benji Marshall also tried to look at some of the positive things out of the game. “We tried our heart out today in terms of defence and our middle really stood up today I thought. It’s just very disappointing,” he said.

Are you a company looking at marketing your brand and products with elite athletes? Are you looking at reaching a live captive audience of up to 40,000 people? Wests Tigers have two very rare opportunities for your company to be associated with star winger Lote Tuqiri or international lock Chris Heighington and become their player sponsors for the rest of the 2012 season. Again, get in contact with the club if your business is interested. He’s no longer a Tiger, but obviously Robert Lui was very much involved with the club when he assaulted his partner last year. He’s pleaded guilty, but the NRL has done virtually nothing to stop him playing for the Cowboys. He shouldn’t be allowed to strap on a boot for a long, long time and the NRL needs to strengthen its stance on these things, otherwise “women in league” is pointless.
