I reckon the NRL was spot on in fining Paul Gallen $50,000 for his offensive rant on Twitter. If a coach can be hit with 10 grand for criticising a referee why shouldnt the NSW captain get five times that for what he said about the games administrators? If nothing else, maybe Gallens payout will send a message to other athletes to keep their fingers away from keyboards when they feeling more stupid than usual. He should consider himself lucky. A top footballer in the UK just got fined the equivalent of $50,000 for replying to an abusive fan on Twitter and used the word sket which the Football Association looked up in a book and found was a rude word. They wouldnt need any book to know what Gallen was saying. I reckon if he doesnt like the fine, he shouldnt pay it - and then quit rugby league. It doesnt seem to be working for him right now. What do YOU reckon?
