[Resurrected] David Fifita helping police with their enquiries
- Thread starter Captain Moondog
- Start date
David Fifita’s State of Origin campaign could be in jeopardy with the NRL to this week issue the Gold Coast Titans star a breach notice following his Christmas trespassing saga.
The NRL has finally concluded a near six-month investigation into Fifita’s actions on December 27 last year which prompted the Queensland Origin forward to be arrested.
Fifita, 21, was detained by police following allegations of trespassing at a Clear Island Waters property on the Gold Coast.
He was later released with a formal caution and looked set to escape sanction by the NRL, until a News Corp investigation in February revealed the Titans had brokered a $10,000 payment to the family involved in the incident.
(I have grave doubts about the sincerity of any nrl investigations. they always decide what result they want, and work the investigation from there.)

Seems bizarre that it’s taken the NRL so long to deal with this
So the Titans never disclosed to the NRL Integrity Kangaroo court that they had paid off the victim? That is worthy of stripping competition points. What other sanction could ever be appropriate for such a deliberate and dishonest disobeying of the NRL?
Fining the player is one thing but the club's role if anything is worse.

If they didn't tell them it was outside the cap
Bad move
Outside the cap sure, hadn't even thought of that part, but each club has signed up to accept a clear duty to fully disclose to the NRL any potential scandal, whether police involved or sex or drugs or whatever. Brokering a cover-up and keeping it secret is a serious breach, and if the NRL under V'Landys is fair dinkum about the game's integrity (everyone knew it was a joke under Greenberg) this has to have consequences. One would think.

That’s not the players fault though, the administration should be punished
depends on the club involved
Maika Sivo's indecent assault charge in Fiji was also withdrawn in circumstances that looked very much like someone had, er, smoothed things over.
Back in the day I'm sure that all clubs were practiced in bailing certain star players out of sticky situations.
Just a misunderstanding, here's something for your inconvenience, I'm sure you can see it our way

True and I think it says in the article that they claim it was basically a bribe to get out of Bali. Inferring that he didn't do anything wrong, they targeted him and they paid it just to get him home.

The National Rugby League (NRL) today fined Gold Coast Titans player David Fifita for breaching the game’s Alcohol Code of Conduct and bringing the game into disrepute.
Fifita has been fined $20,000 with $10,000 suspended for 12 months. He must also complete, to the NRL’s satisfaction, counselling, education and training as mandated by the NRL, in consultation with the Titans.
The Breach Notice, which Fifita has accepted, states he breached the NRL Rules when he entered the premises of a home, which he did not reside in, on December 27, 2020.
No criminal action was taken against Fifita.
The Gold Coast Titans have been cautioned for not promptly disclosing the club’s payment for a security system which was installed in the home after the incident.
Fifita is paying for the cost of the system personally, in addition to his fine.
There are no salary cap implications relating to this matter.
