David Gallop Fine Quotations

It goes without saying that Craig Gower can not find himself in this position again. This suspended fine may be only part of what he will face from the club and the league. We will be reviewing the matter when we have received a formal report from the club but, on the face of it, they have been through an exhaustive process and imposed a significant penalty.

We can't have a situation where clubs can take a gamble breaking the rules, knowing that all they need to do is write a check to pay a fine at the end of the season. There has to be a stronger disincentive.

Following the meeting with the New Zealand Warriors we have issued them with a breach notice informing them we plan to deduct four competition points and fine them $430,000.

I appreciated that and having read the comments would find them to be silly rather than something we would fine the club for.
