Effective house arrest .... That article says he is only allowed to leave home under Parental supervision ... doesn't say anything about training .... would like it clarified .... because if he can't train he will be a long way behind by august next year even if innocent ....

The rule must be changed. PV has already stated that 'rules' should be "flexible".
At the very least the NRL could change the rule to set a maximum time out of the sport. I'm suggesting four weeks but even if it was a ban of one season (until the outcome of the court case is decided) it would be welcomed by the accused and their clubs.

Im not sure about Brandon Smith ,he may have had an off night last night and maybe playing 80 mins pretty much might be to much but he threw a few wayward passes and strikes me more as 2nd rower who can relieve at 9 as opposed to a genuine 9 like Grant ( I could be wrong just my observation)
But that is really bad news July 2021 FMD .If they can get ride of that cretin Greenburg's no fault stand down which effectively punishes the player before he is found guilty by the law then would that open the NRL to a court case from JDB etc ? What would be the basis ?
Both JDB and MF have been paid all this time ,so what would they be suing for ,other than hypothetical SOO payments or "sponsorships" which with a pending court case they would be unlikely to get anyway.They could make a case that they could have had a stella year and increased their value on the other hand the NRL could say well you could have been injured all year ,who knows ?
They can't sue for damage to their reputations as they are the ones awaiting trial for alleged crimes. So maybe there is a possibility to get this draconian , sub-judice and knee jerk policy disbanded on the basis that everyone is entitled to their day in court and are innocent until proven guilty and that it is interfering with natural justice .Its only there because Greenburg's daughters suggested it in any case.

It's only a game ...
I agree Smith is not a classical dummy half, his forte is his dynamic running game & bringing energy to the team. However, he has indicated he wants to leave the Storm if the other Smith stays on next year. Seems Grant has much more all round ability & would be the best signing for the Sea Eagles - don't think the Storm will let him go, though.
I was thinking reputation & unfair treatment. You are probably correct in suggesting this is not a viable basis for legal action.
This is the most important change needed. Everyone has seen the footage & knows what Lodge did, but his career was able to continue after he met certain conditions (more imposed once he began playing NRL again). Whereas, the public does not know what actually happened in JBD & Manase's cases, yet their whole lives have been turned upside as result of a decision by incompetent administrators. Then again, Manase's bail conditions would also need to be altered to allow him to play if the stand down rule was changed.

He really is living on a knifes edge......
to me that’s the biggest issue. I know it has been affected by Covid but it’s ridiculous how long it takes for matters to come to trial. Can you imagine what it would be like waiting that long if you were innocent. FMD it would do my head in.

And that's the rub. In the eyes of the law you are innocent until proven otherwise, but once you are charged and become media fodder you become guilty in the eyes of 99% of the public.
