The NRL has cleared Dylan Walker to return to playing for Manly, effective immediately.

This follows his acquittal of assault charges and a review of the court documents by the NRL Integrity Unit.

CEO Todd Greenberg said Walker’s "no fault stand down" period has expired and he is free to return to the NRL.

Greenberg said the case had successfully demonstrated how the new "no-fault stand down" rule protected the reputation of the game.

"We always said that we make no judgement on the guilt or innocence of any player stood down under this rule," he said.

"That is a matter for the courts and, in this case, Dylan has been acquitted of the charges and is free to return to the game.

"We thank the Manly club for its support of the new rule and wish Dylan the best for the rest of the season.

"It is clear the no fault stand down rule enables us to protect the reputation of the game while charges are heard – so it is doing its job."

Greenberg said the rule would only be used where players were charged with serious offences.

"We hope to use it very sparingly – only for the most serious cases – but we believe it is already proving successful in protecting the reputation of the game," he said.

Poor Dylan, will have to look Todd straight in the eye, that's punishment enough lol

Just like staring into the soulless eyes of a rat.

Todd’s attempt to spin the virtues of the policy is hilarious!

It will be interesting to see if we still support the nrl if debelin wins his case, as we will have some grounds to rectify the position the new rule put us in.

Anyways, welcome back Dylan, go forth, wreak havoc

I expect him to be a little rusty in his first game back. He will also have to have some pretty thick skin because he will be the subject of many sledges from fans and players.

He wont be rusty mate , he will be pumped up and raring to go

Do you remember that winning pressure goal he kicked at the end of the extra time to win us the game when all the raiders players were sledging him ?

I dont think you do

Get a replay and watch it 😉

 

[joeboy]

Of course he will be rusty he hasn’t played in ages, nor does he have any combination with our spine who weren’t with us or in those positions last time he played. He is a classy player, and I hope he has a great game, but his timing, combinations and match fitness will all be lacking, as to be expected

Sharks Players/Fans will test Walker's concentration.

But that's why he gets the big bucks - focus on Feki

I wonder

Todd’s attempt to spin the virtues of the policy is hilarious!

All the eloquence of a first day junior used car salesperson that spin. It's just amatuer hour down at nrl headquarters. Lurch from one reactive misguided policy on the run to the next.
