Phil Gould says he's shocked by the behaviour of NRL players such as Penrith's Tyrone May in the sharing of sex tapes.

Penrith Panthers executive general manager Phil Gould says he is disgusted by the behaviour of NRL players in the recent sex tapes scandal but he believes the episode can prove to be a positive for rugby league.Phil Gould says NRL players have been"naive" to think sex tapes would not surface publicly

Panthers player Tyrone May was stood down as a result of his involvement in the filming and circulation of tapesGould was speaking a week afterafter he was charged with filming and circulating videos of sex acts with two women without their consent. Police alleged Mr May, 22, filmed a sexual act with a woman at Coffs Harbour in February last year as well as with another woman at Kingswood in western Sydney in May."It's grade-five stupidity and naivety, and it's damaging," Gould told Channel Nine podcast Six Tackles with Gus.

But Gould said the revelations about the sex tapes would mean the NRL would be better placed to be more vigilant about monitoring player behaviour in the future.

None of the year 5 kids I've taught over the last few years have secretly taped and shared explicit material so this comment stinks of Gus trying to belittle the offence of his own players. What a peanut

Its Rugby League. Lets face it none of them are rocket scientists.

I remember the episode of Rules of engagement where Jen and Adam made a sex tape and they thought it was awful. Who makes these silly tapes, but yet who releases them, I don't think the players should suffer, apperantly everyone does it. 😁 nrl To many knocks to the head.

Grade 5 kids wouldn’t even be so dumb

Without knowledge? Are you kidding me? One of the videos the woman was looking directly at the camera begging 'F**k me daddy!!' while giggling and moaning like a wildebeest. But hey, anything for a good fake narrative, right ABC?

Phil has to take ownership, all under his watch
