''It's a bit like the Cowboys. It's a little harsh on them they are missing a player [Barba] that's never laced on a boot for them. That's the real difficulty with recruitment and retention for clubs. Loading ''My message to clubs is when you are buying and selling players, look equally at the values as opposed to the skill-set. They should be assessed in equal priority.'' The Bulldogs privately feel a fine – and a hefty one – would be more suitable for Napa, rather than punish the club when it comes to the opening rounds without their star recruit. They met Napa on three occasions before he signed, spoke to him about his wayward tackling technique, but never imagined to ask about home videos.

Some at the Bulldogs have asked if the NRL and Roosters were unaware of Napa's videos from the past, how were they to know. Loading Bulldogs boss Andrew Hill would not get drawn on Greenberg's comments, telling the Herald: "I don't believe it's appropriate to make any comment while the league continues to investigate.'' Napa will front the media on Wednesday with the club happy for the prop to answer all the tricky questions. The Australian Rugby League Commission will also meet on Wednesday, but they will not receive any recommendations from the integrity unit as they continue their investigations.

If Napa did miss games, Canterbury are entitled to wonder if a precedent would have been set, and whether all other clubs would be punished whenever old and unflattering video footage surfaces of a player. The biggest issue for Napa is not the nature of his 'Big Papi' footage, but the fact it was circulated within a group. Ex-teammate: Kane Evans has spoken in defence of Dylan Napa. Credit:Dan Himbrechts Sam Burgess was never suspended for images that surfaced during last year's finals series because the NRL felt there was never a realistic expectation they would become public. "I've asked the NRL integrity unit to try and complete that piece of work [the Napa matter] quickly – they are a pretty busy place at the moment,'' Greenberg said.

"They're not a big organisation of men and women, but they're doing some good work and we'll get to the bottom of that as quick as we can and put out a solution. Loading ''I haven't read the case in its entirety, but what I have seen is damage to the game. And where damage to the game comes, there will be consequences. "I know you want me to tell you the outcome to some of these things, but I can't tell you the outcome until I see it in its entirety.'' Greenberg was aware of talk about other videos, but said: "I haven't seen anything, but like you I hear lots of speculation, rumour and innuendo, and you've all worked with me enough to know I will deal what's in front of me. But I can't talk about speculation or rumours on social media. If something lands on my desk we will deal with it and deal with it properly.''

Meanwhile, Kane Evans, who was a Roosters teammate with Napa before he joined the Eels and featured in one of the videos where he shadow-boxed as a naked Napa sat nearby, has spoken out in defence of Napa. "I think that was four years ago. I love Dylan, and I feel sad for him those videos have come out and people are judging him and saying things online,'' Evans told the Herald. "At the end of the day nobody is perfect, we just have to be on our best behaviour, even when we're in our own homes because you never know what could get out.'' When pressed on who may have taped the footage, Evans said: "It would have been one of the boys, but in saying that, it wasn't intended for anyone. To get out, it's embarrassing. "The Roosters stay in hotels like every game, even home games, so I can't remember where we were. I can't even remember last week.

"He shouldn't miss game time. No way. If someone makes a personal video, then let's say they lose their phone, it gets opened and then sent out and posted all over social media. If they're going to miss game time for that ... nobody would be that much of a dog to release that and post it online.''
