Re: League new conduct policy
I am somewhat dubious of the section about sanctions for clubs.
Is this over-arching or will discretion be used? For example I have no problem with the league bringing down the hammer on a team who drafts or signs a questionable character guy but what happens when an apparently upstanding guy has a problem. If a classy guy like James Thrash or London Fletcher goes out and gets in a bar fight tomorrow night would the Skins be culpable because they are SKins? That makes no sense really. In fact unless discretion is used the whole idea is almost useless because it offers less reward for teams bringing in character guys versus no charcters guys. If a team is going to get fined or whatever whether they should have known or not then they have less motivation to bring in only high charcter guys. It doesn't totally eliminate the motivation but is reduces it.
