D-Day for the NRL

[damiennp90]

Apparently 15 out of 16 clubs approved.

Also from what I heard walker is not under this rule.

But I think he should be suspended snyway.

Would be amazing if people thought manly was getting let off.

 

[The '47ers]

I think I just heard on a crackely radio
Walker 3 months, JDB indefinitely to be stood down.

You should try the FM stations, much better reception

If the NRL decides to stand down players until the court proceedings are done & dusted it should pay the players & allow the club to replace the said player with a player of similar salary / capability not counted in the cap for the season.

 

[BOZO]

Innocent until proven guilty in court should be the answer, surely.

If those incompetent fools fck around with the law they will open up a can of worms for them selves that will devour their arses like thread worms on heat

One can only hope a person makes a false sexual assault claim against Todd.

Not saying anyone is guilty or innocent, just that this stuff does happen and the NRL have said they are talking the law into their own hands.

Punishing players that may be innocent?!?!?! Well done on the metal health aspect Todd you absolute halfwit.

NRL talent is all signed now.


Walker's possible sentence does not reach the 11 years nor was it a sexual crime. Hard to see how he could be stood down till May.

NRL have lost the plot and will be in court wasting their funds defending each and every case 😕

More importantly, how will this be a deterrent ?
Full pay for potentially years 😱

Mate any one that makes a sexual assault claim on Todd would have to be false . The joker has no character , charisma , or sex appeal and on those grounds the court will dismiss any appeal .

So any one know what has actually happened re Walker as opposed to the new standards ?

Immaterial as the NRL have based their retrospective rule on charges and not convictions 😎

It doesn't help us in any way as we lose a top shelf centre with money to spend and no one available. Also there won't be players lining up to sign a 3 month contract.

As dumb as the rule is and as rigged as Todd will use his discretion this is all Walkers fault, absolute idiot!!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Pity we couldn’t sign Robert Jennings when he was available, thanks for that Toddy!!

Someone should tell Greenberg and his even more ridiculous offsider that leaders don't blindly react to every newly manufactured "crisis" - they lead (funny that, isn't it?) The NRL has been a reactionary body for a long time now. No vision, no understanding of the game or its supporters - they just make rules up as they go along, depending on which dickhead columnist (or group of dickhead columnists) is making the most noise at that particular time. They make decisions that have nothing to do with the benefit of the game, its fans or its players, but everything to do with them maintaining the illusion of being butch and in control.

“Under the new “no fault stand down policy”, any player who is charged with an offence that carries a prison term of 11 years or more will be automatically stood down until the court case is resolved.

Greenberg also has the discretionary powers to stand down players charged with offences involving the assault of women or children.”

Sure as hell know which way his discretionary decision will be!

Why bother with automatic stand down rule if Greenberg has the power to stand anyone down.

Why not have the prison term as a guideline.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

D ( Dylan) Day today, and yes he’ll be next!!

But I bet Matt Lodge and Greg Inglis ( and others ) play on.

Greenturd has qualified it with crimes that attract the 11 year or any crime involving women or children.

Walker will be gone a while as DV is in the news daily

In the hands of players to control themselves or have their careers ended by management
