The treble standards successful rugby league astatine the infinitesimal are thing abbreviated of embarrassing.
All we've heard from the NRL implicit the past fewer years is the request for equality and to beforehand the NRLW contention which is accelerated becoming the biggest maturation country of the game, but the question needs to beryllium asked of the administrators astatine Rugby League Central; wherefore don't the aforesaid standards use for the women arsenic for the men playing the crippled astatine the elite level?
Caitlin Moran is among the highest illustration players successful the women's crippled and stooped to a caller debased connected Friday erstwhile the Newcastle Knights fullback posted a photograph of the Queen connected Instagram conscionable hours aft her decease with an accompanying caption excessively horrific to repeat.

It's 1 of the astir disgusting, distasteful and disgraceful things I've seen, particularly astatine a sombre clip erstwhile the satellite is mourning the decease of an bonzer pistillate who's dedicated her beingness to work and work for the 70 years she's been connected the throne.
2GB broadcaster Ray Hadley described the societal media station by Moran arsenic "perhaps the astir reprehensible happening I've ever seen connected to rugby league" and called for her to beryllium stood down immediately, yet the Newcastle Knights launched a defence of the young woman.
Whether you're a royalist oregon not, there's nary excuse for posting specified an insensitive happening connected societal media and it's present successful the hands of the NRL Integrity Unit, which volition suggest it needs clip to interrogation the 25-year-old to inquire for a delight explain. In my presumption the league already has capable accusation to authorisation the player.
Due to the inaction from the Knights and the NRL, Caitlin Moran was allowed to play for her nine connected Sunday successful the apical of the array clash against the Roosters astatine Allianz Stadium.
A young pistillate shares a vile station to her 29,000 followers connected societal media and nary enactment is taken by the Newcastle Knights oregon the NRL. Could you ideate the outrage if it was 1 of the men who play rugby league; it would beryllium plastered each implicit the beforehand leafage of the newspapers.
Knights NRLW manager Ronald Griffiths suggested it was a "complex contented fixed she's a arrogant indigenous pistillate who held beardown views astir humanities injustices."
"The narration betwixt Indigenous radical and the monarchy is simply a analyzable one. If Caitlin has done thing past it volition beryllium investigated by the Integrity Unit and we'll enactment our mode done the process" said Moran.
I'm sorry, the Knights manager is attempting to excuse the inexcusable. When idiosyncratic dies there's a happening called communal decency and I was ever taught by my parents, "Mark if you've got thing bully to say, past accidental thing astatine all."
The NRL has travel up with immoderate unusual penalties lately, including the delayed suspension imposed connected Penrith winger Taylan May, and the league cannot disregard the unacceptable societal media station by Caitlin Moran.
How the erstwhile Jillaroo was allowed to play connected Sunday is simply a damn disgrace erstwhile you see Canberra manager Ricky Stuart copped a week's suspension for calling an opposing subordinate a "weak-gutted dog."
If the league is going to authorisation NRL coaches for unacceptable nationalist comments, wherefore aren't they doing the aforesaid with players who usage their Instagram accounts to marque unforgiveable comments astir her majesty, the Queen?
If everyone successful rugby league wants to beryllium connected the aforesaid leafage astatine a clip erstwhile we're calling for equality, it's astir clip we commencement treating everyone arsenic equal, including those who bring the crippled into disrepute similar Caitlin Moran.
