That's a blow, quality player.

A few things are starting to make sense now

 

[Bazal]

How classy are the Tigers? Try to offload Lovett, a few weeks later he's busted for drug offences. Try to offload Simona, two weeks later this comes out....

 

[Munted]

Fkn dumbo merkin

 

[BuffaloRules]

So they are still sending him to the Titans and getting Zillman in return right?

Set the atrocity counter to 0....

About time Tigers played a little tougher. In the past it would have beena cuddle and contract extension.

So sack them. Don't try and lump some other merkins with the problem

 

[Clifferd]

Lol so that's why we were trying to offload him. Makes sense now

 

[BuffaloRules]

Seems like some salary cap space about to open up...

Maybe they will take on Steve Matai's contract off the Eagles...

They did them a favour with Ballin so possible...

Andddd with that Rankin is now guaranteed a spot in the starting 17. Awesome

 

[Vic Mackey]

There were whispers about off field stuff with simona but didn't realise it was this serious. Would want to know exactly what he did before throwing him under the bus. It could be something as simple as betting on another game, whilst players aren't allowed to do that it's not exactly the crime of the century.

I think Suli will be left wing mate.

Not the crime of the century, but a hard and fast rule.
Who knows what he may or may not know about players involved in the game that can influence a bet.

Kind of like insider trading.

Hope so mate that'd be sick

Poor Tim Sims ruined a promising long career over a quick money grab

If this alleged bet was over a Tigers game he could be in some huge trouble

 

[Diesel]

Dumb f**k

 

[Incorrect]

He probably bet on Tigers to beat the Knights up in Newcastle last year.... Double Ouch!

 

[Rabbit toes]

Never heard of the f**ker

The stupidity of this is that Simona will be de-registered by the NRL for this, a hard and fast rulel that DEFINITLEY SHOULD apply but it is likely/possible that he simply bet on another game or even bet on the TIgers. Lovett gets caught with cocaine and will play this year.

Both should be rubbed out for mine (although I really want Simona at left centre).
