National Rugby League CEO Todd Greenberg said that action will "no doubt" be taken against the Canterbury Bulldogs, claiming the club's "Mad Monday" antics "let the game down ahead of the finals," according to the AAP. The NRL and the Bulldogs launched an investigation after pictures showed players "stripping naked and vomiting in the street" at a Sydney hotel on Monday night. An "unhappy" Greenberg "made it clear the Bulldogs would be punished." He said that the NRL will announce the punishment after receiving the Bulldogs' report on the matter on Wednesday. Greenberg: "We had a detailed discussion (with clubs about Mad Monday) ... so the expectations were very, very clear and the Bulldogs have let down the game today." Rugby League Players' Association CEO Ian Prendergast said, "Given the emotion involved around incidents such as these, it's important that we all take a deep breath and put things into context, while working through the process in a measured way" (AAP, 9/5).
