[Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

[Mark from Brisbane]

As I said a few weeks ago, it now looks like a points deduction ain't happening.

It's been in the cards every Friday for two months now, and every time I look they are still running 4th.

Greenturd was most probably hoping that Nanly would finish in 9th spot and then come up with some lame ass reason not to take the points off parra, just to shaft us again. He is most probably getting withdrawal symptoms from not stiffing us recently

It will happen mate. There is no way the NRL could back down now - even Greenburg wouldn't go there now. The delay is probably more to do with ensuring that all things are in order and can't be refuted any further. The court ruling to support the NRL in standing down the 5 directors/official would support this.

If you do turn out to be right, then the NRL has officially imploded and will lose all credibility. They will get absolutely smashed in the media.

What is amazingly short sighted by Greenberg and the NRL, is that if they back down on the Parramatta issue, they will be opening a serious can of worms that could potentially split the League.

Precedents in any legal system change the rules and nature of the standards set for a community. If the League renege on deducting Parra points and fining them heavily as well as hitting them regarding salary cap allowances, they will not only make the general support base, but especially the Storm and Bulldogs camps, lose all confidence in them.

But even worse, having taken the softly softly position, they will have made the salary cap unworkable, because if serious penalties are not given, there is no restraint on any club breaching the rules because the NRL then cant penalise them effectively.

This debacle is like an open wound that must be addressed quickly. The Parra managers deemed responsible for the fraud are still there despite the League's instructions that they should be gone before Parra can start to accrue points again. Meanwhile this club still under the Famous Five's admin are negotiating big dollars to keep Semi and tempt Hayne back, while still holding the apparently illegally overpaid Foran and no doubt Gutherson et al with extras.

Its a very bad look and the AFL must be licking their lips at the imploding of this game, and the vacuum its likely to leave for them to move fully into. Point is the rules are there to be maintain equity. You cant have a system (or at least you shouldnt) where some teams are more equal than others.

Doesn't that assume the NRL had credability to begin with??

Keep one eye up Semi......

It's only fair then that if the " gang of 5" are still there, doing their stuff , that the NRL deduct points from the Squeals until they are gone , so more than the 12 agreed to.

I concur that if they don't it will
open the biggest can of worms ever BUT, as I keep saying, about every two weeks, it's " happening this Friday".

Maybe it's the first Friday of season 2017, so March sometime.

 

[HappilyManly]

Probably announced next Monday as the Eels have a Bye next week

 

[Bearfax]

I'm beginning to wonder if they are holding off until the semis or just before them and then take the action. That way they keep the Parra fans in there hoping and still attending and ensure Channel 9 doesnt put on a temper tantrum and take their ball home.

 

[Karin]

I always cringe when I see this thread because if Eels only get stripped 12 points they will still be ahead of us in for and against. This doesn't make me feel like LOLing.

 

[Top End Eagle]

Again. WTF?

Parramatta winger Semi Radradra has numerous driving offences to his name

• RADRADRA CHARGED WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
• WINGER TAKEN BY POLICE AFTER RETURN FROM FIJI
• SEMI COULD HAVE TO PAY $700K TO LEAVE EELS

EMBATTLED Parramatta Eels star Semi Radradra is set to take the field tonight despite facing domestic violence charges and an uncertain future in the NRL.

Hours after being charged with three domestic violence assaults of his former partner Perina Ting, the runaway winger was laughing with teammates at training yesterday.

His arrest at Sydney Airport on Thursday night, which came after a 12-day hiatus in Fiji, was not his first brush with the law.

Semi Radradra returned from Fiji on Thursday night.
The Saturday Telegraph can reveal Radradra is on a 12-month good behaviour bond for driving while disqualified.

The 24-year-old’s driver Raymond Nair said they went to a McDonald’s outlet after the Fijian flyer was released by police at 3am.

“He’s very upset. He was very quiet, cold and hungry. He said it’s good he talked to the police and gave his side of the story,” Mr Nair said.

Eels coach Brad Arthur said it was up to Radradra to stand himself down from the team.


“He’s committed to the club. My job is to coach a football team and I’m trying my best to do that,” Arthur said.

The star winger was charged with three domestic violence assaults.
Radradra has faced court three times in the past year for driving with a suspended learner licence, and was caught driving in an unregistered and uninsured car with his then-partner and their infant daughter Luisa in June last year.

He was banned from driving for a year in February.

In April 2015, Radradra was caught behind the wheel, three days before a three-month suspension was due to expire, in an unregistered Commodore at South Wentworthville.

Despite being booked by police he was caught 30 minutes later.

Since he got his learner’s licence in November 2014, Radradra has had his licence suspended three times and has been ordered to pay nearly $5000 in fines.

He has been caught speeding in a school zone, driving unaccompanied and not obeying traffic signals.

... sounds like he could have a short RL career
