I can't believe the people commenting online, or calling in saying that the Saints are soft and that the 4 players should have been sacked.
They must know a hell of a lot more about what happened in NZ than any of us do.
To my knowledge, none of these guys, including Zac, have a history of doing attrocious things. They've been fined, suspended, ordered to get jobs and do community work. IMO that seems fair punishment for breaking a curfew, having a drink and taking a few legal tablets.
This club exists to try and win games, and ultimately, premierships. You don't just go around sacking your #1 Full Back, your next potential star ruck/forward and your next potential star mid a few weeks out from the start of the season and get nothing in return. That would set the club back 5 years minimum. You don't punish the team and you don't punish the members.
The players concerned do need to pull their heads in. And there may come a time in the future when a player, regardless of his value or potential, needs to be shown the door.
This is surely not that time
