Can’t see the NRL/CH9 allowing a forfeit

We kinda get punished to a.degree with potential for and against. Imagine we were on the same points as 8th overall and missed the finals by 6-10 for and against.Can’t see the NRL/CH9 allowing a forfeit

This is an exercise in the NRL needing to show the NSW, Qld and Vic govts that it administers the bubble responsibly.It's kinda a strange one for me.
On one hand the moronic players seemed to have fibbed and colluded to get their stories straight, run away from the cops, hid under beds... and yet we're supposed to believe that now there were only those named players and Vaughn's wife at the bbq? Yeah right.
On the other... for the nrl to come out and arbitrarily demand that the guilty sign some stat dec as a condition of returning to training and playing reeks of overstepping their boundaries straight into (once again) the v'landy dictatorship arena. So they can go f themselves. I'd like to be able to put that document in front of the nrl (really...you say cronulla were under the cap in 2015?)
Eventually the players' union may find a breaking point where they say: "We're not doing this, and let's see if you're happy with games not going ahead." - or something like that.
next verse please ... I needed a laugh ...thanks BOZO@Mark from Brisbane

maybe more 'dancers' ... its in the 'lap' of the godslol.
that's hard to read without singing the tune in your head!
Also...
I guess if they wont sign the documents as (obv) they'd be lying, maybe there should be more of an investigation. Surely there's some lady out there feeling scorned that her 'man' doesn't like her enough to admit she was there...?!
Hard to think there's no vid footage.
agreed totally - the NRL rushed into this to try and close it all down - knowing that there were others there and if that got out - the COVID bubble was breached and the competition was in jeopardy or the agreements with the TV stations at huge risk. It was a calculated gamble by Vlandys to keep this all quiet and hope everyone moved on with the "swift" suspensions when they even admitted they weren't sure if the players were telling the truth. If it is true as Hadley and others believe that there is a loit more to this story - Vlandys has made a total hash of this. It is always true that the coverup or attempted coverup is much messier than the original situation and it will be in this case.This is an exercise in the NRL needing to show the NSW, Qld and Vic govts that it administers the bubble responsibly.
Clearly, in deciding to 'take the word' of the party-goers - who the NRL already knows have lied to try to get out of trouble - they are demonstrably NOT taking the bubble seriously. All 13 should have been immediately sent to 14 day isolation, but the NRL thought that would be too complicated in terms of the Manly-Dragons game so made a foolish decision to put their heads in the sand.
I'll be amazed if this doesn't unravel in a big way.

Opening paragraph:Behind a paywall, but i think the SMH are reporting this arvo the NRL has watered down what the players have to sign.
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.www.smh.com.au
