DeBellin to appeal

[Woodsie]

Another Turdburger special.

JDB currently free to play as the NRL haven’t actually enacted their law as yet.

So the court resumes next Thursday ( kick off day) to rule on it if they in fact do.

Comedy hour!!

One of your best Mark .... you are a funny bugger ...

PSS ... you are taking the piss aren't you ..... are you ... surely, you must be taking the piss ....

 

[brad]

Does that mean Walker would also be free to play?

Id think so if Jdb is free to play and if the NRL doesn't write the new rule in by round 1.

"The judge presiding over Dragons star Jack de Belin’s Federal Court bid to overturn his ban says the forward will be free to play round one unless the NRL enacts it’s “no fault” policy."

Nope, I’m not !!

 

[The Who]

If anyone has brought the game into disrepute its Shoddy Greenturd. He's turned the NRL into a laughing stock:
De Belin is seeking damages, compensation and legal costs, as well as a string of court declarations including that the two bodies engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct and unconscionable conduct.

He also wants an order permanently restraining them from inserting the new rule into the NRL Rules or NRL Code of Conduct, claiming it is unreasonable and contrary to public policy.

Under the old policy, players who pleaded not guilty to serious charges were allowed to continue playing until their case was finalised in court.

His lawyers say neither body had any material to enable them to determine de Belin was guilty of rape or in breach of the NRL Code of Conduct.

But for the “threatened suspension”, de Belin intends playing in the first 2019 match on March 16 and in matches through the year and 2020, and to make himself available for representative selection including for State of Origin, the documents state.

I think you'll find Greg Bird was found not guilty of glassing his girlfriend but that's OK, a lot of people still call out Snake as a rapist too.

Not guilty doesn’t always mean innocent. In Bird’s case, he was initially found guilty at any rate - and the outcome even on appeal was you did it, you lied about it, but we can’t prove it wasn’t accidental in the course of preventing her self-harming (which is what he eventually claimed after he stopped lying about his mate being responsible for her injuries). So basically he used the Greg & Sally strategy and it worked (again). A lot different to Snake’s case.

So if they rush this new rule through next week, surely they can’t use it on the guys already on stand down as it will be done retrospectively with a rule that didn’t exist at the time

 

[Spartan Eagle]

The NRL are an absolute joke. They have Beattie at the helm bragging that he's a lawyer and a lot of thought went into this policy to ensure that there is no inference of guilt or innocence in this no fault system, yet at the same time he states that players have been stood down when the policy was not in effect.. So glad they had their pants pulled down by the judge at the federal court today.

By all reason, De Bellend and Walker should be free to play next weekend.
I can't see even those admin clowns pulling another swifty after waddling around with their pants around their ankles for a week.

We all hate greenburg and beattie. But if they can manage to get a standard in place and weed out all these grubs from playing the game. At least they would have done something positive .

The idea is right , it’s the execution that’s the problem.

 

[Supreme Leader]

Was speaking to a legal eagle today and based on the news today he said it would be very dangerous to retrospectively ban both players. He said that once the policy is in force then anything new only counts.

If so should we select Walker to play anyway?

Weeding out the grubs administering the game would be the most positive outcome.

 

[MadMarcus]

#14 above is interesting ... I have often wondered at what the outcome would have been if Walker had pressed charges against Curtis Scott for assault ...

I think we all know what would have happened. Scott would have got off thanks to a reference from Toddy saying Walker deserved it for being a Manly player.

Mind numbing incompetence is the only description I can use.

JDB’s lawyers said a week ago they would challenge any stand down in court.

So what did the NRL do ...... NOTHING

That doesn't necessarily mean their clubs will have the balls to select them. If you select them you piss off the NRL, but if you don't select them maybe they will sue you as well?

Don't know if it's more incompetence or arrogance. I can't see any club purposely playing them against the NRL's stance tbh

Really?
I'm sure the players want to play, and their coaches.
Why would clubs worry what the clowns at the head of the NRL think?
