sounds like the nrl want the players to say that according to their knowledge and 'best efforts' the only people at the house were who they have already reported - so no stat dec.
Of course according to the nrl (greenblurgh) when it came to manly "best efforts" suddenly meant an iron clad guarantee with more gravitas than a stat dec.
anyway, I'm going to watch tv. star wars 'bad batch' ftw!

The 12 St George Illawarra players who attended Paul Vaughan’s house party are close to signing off on a revised document that will allow them to immediately emerge from their COVID hold and allow the club to field a competitive side against Manly next week.
The NRL has put forward a proposal to allow the “dirty dozen” to rejoin their teammates at training if they provide assurances that no other members of the public – including wives and girlfriends – were at Vaughan’s house party. The parties have been negotiating what that document looks like and the Rugby League Players’ Association has become involved in the process.
The NRL was initially seeking a statutory declaration from the players, but the union has pushed back given it could set a precedent on players signing similar documents in the future when they are under duress. Falsifying a statutory document is a criminal offence that can lead to jail time.
Instead, the players will likely only be required to sign a sworn statement, although the governing body will be able to come down with strong sanctions if the information contained is false or misleading.
There has also been back and forth between the parties over the wording, although it’s expected a resolution will be reached later on Saturday.
The development will result in the players returning to training alongside their teammates and cutting short a self-isolation period of 14 days.
The parties were desperate to get the deal done given NSW Cup players, who have been outside of the biosecurity bubble, would not have been considered for Friday’s clash with the Sea Eagles. If it can be signed off then Blake Lawrie, Corey Norman, Daniel Alvaro, Jack Bird, Josh Kerr, Josh McGuire, Kaide Ellis, Matt Dufty, Tyrell Fuimaono, Zac Lomax, Gerard Beale and Jack de Belin will be eligible for selection even though some will be required to serve a suspension.
The Dragons are working out the best way to stagger the suspensions, which must be served over the course of between two to four rounds. That effectively means the Red V won’t be able to sit out more than six players for any one game to ensure the integrity of the competition.
The Dragons tore up the $800,000-a-year contract of Vaughan after the Herald revealed a sexting scandal was one of three behavioural breaches he had been guilty of while at the club.

New Dragons deal for ‘dirty dozen’ to return to field
The players’ union claims there would be fewer biosecurity bubble breaches if the NRL took the AFL’s lead in punishing players.

What a load of bollocks - if there was nobody else there they would sign the fkn thing. Just ban the lot of them & move along.The 12 St George Illawarra players who attended Paul Vaughan’s house party are close to signing off on a revised document that will allow them to immediately emerge from their COVID hold and allow the club to field a competitive side against Manly next week.

"to my knowledge" instead of" swear"...and the taxi/Uber part deleted I would imagine.
Just a BS way for the NRL to cover up what should be a 14 day quarantine.

Smoke and mirrors. They don't have to be competitive, they've got to be made accountable.
Correct they only have to sign a sworn statement which has no legal issues like a statutory declaration.Behind a paywall, but i think the SMH are reporting this arvo the NRL has watered down what the players have to sign.

“Instead, the players will likely only be required to sign a sworn statement, although the governing body will be able to come down with strong sanctions if the information contained is false or misleading.”
Strong sanctions, yeah right.
Whoever said in an earlier post that the NRL just wanted it to go away was 100% correct.

Would be pretty funny, if there wasn't a serious Delta outbreak in NSW.
Vlandys - "Look Gladys I know they lied at first but they're definitely telling the truth now, we made them turn around to show they didn't have their fingers crossed. So - everyone is safe, what a relief."

Pretty concerning really, we've now got a 16yo, and people aged in their 20s and 30s in ICU. What a shame we forgot to arrange enough vaccine.

Agreed, but also what a shame there are so many selfish, entitled people who can’t just do as they’re told. Not to mention the idiots squealing ‘sheeple’ and buying up all the tinfoil.
I agree it’s concerning but so is this comment:
Dr Chant said 10 new cases have been linked to the party at the Meriton Suites in Waterloo from two weeks ago, bringing the total cluster to 35. She asked people to please be honest with contact tracers when interviewed, flagging that health authorities were “having difficulty getting ahead of [transmission] chains”
The NRL folded so the issue would go away.

No stat dec just a sworn statement there weren’t any others from outside their bubble.

Those of us living on the Northern Beaches were forced to isolate late last year due to Covid cases at Avalon.
The rest of Sydney was exempt.
Fair enough. We copped it.
Now we have no cases on the Northern Beaches are we are lumped into greater Sydney.
This is a double standard.
It's also unfair to the Shoalhaven region who have had no Covid cases.

Agreed, but just a correction - it’s Shellharbour that’s included and shouldn’t be, not the Shoalhaven. In fact, it’s causing us headaches with moving patients to/between hospitals, because some of those transports involve moving between orange and red zones - and if paramedics haven’t been into the red zone in the specified period, we’re doing our best to keep it that way and save them from being affected by stay at home orders.
It would happen wherever you put the barrier, I get that. But when it’s as unnecessary as this one is, it’s incredibly frustrating to say the least.
I feel for you all in the greater Sydney area , it’s becoming a real ****show down there and if it continues you’ll be locked up for months not weeks.

If they don't want to sign the stat declaration its obvious they would be lying if they did and scared of jail time. Of course other people were there. Neighbours have already witness them running away. Jack has already tried to cover up his involvement originally.
