Does the no fault allow any player play in the QLD/NSW Cup?

Whilst the announcement of the policy does not explicitly mention the NSW or Qld Cup (https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/02/28/arl-commission-to-announce-new-policy-for-player-misbehaviour/) this quote in the announcement would lead me to believe they cannot play a game at any level -

"He cannot play until the completion of that case," Greenberg said.

"This policy ensures he doesn't play but he can be around the team, be at training during the week and most importantly can take the services of that club via the welfare and services available to him. We think it's important for the club and player to have the opportunity to continue in the environment."

Could it be, the only way to sort this out is for every player to film their sexcapades, and have it leaked to the media by 'a mate' who intern publish across all their platforms. It's the only way to be sure of consent. Be a smart boi winner like Normy, Segeyaro and old mate from the Panthers who's not quite good enough to know his name.

At Panthers, there are many questions that will never be answered. Like why Te Maire Martin was shown the door with such indecent haste after displaying perfectly good on-field form, and who leaked the Tyrone May vids into the public domain. And why a coach was sacked following a victory, when running 4th a month out from the finals.

I am entirely aware of that, you will see I was responding to a question from Mr Angry, please read my response and his question before attacking me.

If you had of read my response properly you would have seen that I said:
` I can see the reasoning in allowing the accused's evidence to be by video to avoid the victim having to go through the trauma of giving evidence twice.'

So please shove your response where the sun does not shine. Thank you.
alleged victim, you missed the word, ALLEGED ;)
at the very end of this matter, jack could be the victim

Footy star and accused rapist Jack de Belin, 29, reveals shock testicular cancer diagnosis and how he secretly underwent emergency surgery to save his life during his high-profile trial
  • De Belin, 29, found a lump in his testicle and underwent surgery in September
  • The shock revelation comes as his rape retrial was scheduled for next April
  • The NRL star has been charged with five counts of aggravated sexual assault
By ELIZA MCPHEE FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA and AAP

NRL star Jack de Belin underwent surgery for testicular cancer during his high-profile rape trial.

The 29-year-old reportedly found a lump in his testicle earlier this year and had surgery to remove it in September.

De Belin kept his diagnosis hidden throughout the trial with only close friends and St George staff aware of his condition.

His surgery came just two months before the trial began in November where he pleaded not guilty to five counts of aggravated sexual assault.

The Dragons forward is expected to make a full recovery, the Daily Telegraph reported.

The cancer scare has added to his tumultuous year, with his future plans now stalled after a jury were unable to reach a verdict last week. A retrial has been scheduled for April.

Along with co-accused Callan Sinclair, 23, de Belin, will defend five charges of aggravated sexual assault in the Downing Centre in Sydney from April 12.

A jury in Wollongong Local Court were unable to deliver a unanimous verdict against either accused man despite nine hours of deliberating.

Jack de Belin (pictured left) and Callan Sinclair (right) each pleaded not guilty to five counts of aggravated sexual assault following the encounter in December of 2018

The jury foreperson said the group would 'absolutely not' even be able to reach a majority verdict and was thus discharged and the trial abandoned.

Three weeks of evidence was heard in the high-profile trial against the two players, who have always maintained the threesome with the 19-year-old victim at an address in North Wollongong in December, 2018, was consensual.

If found not guilty, Mr de Belin, 29, could save his NRL career.

He has sat out the past two seasons for the St George Illawarra Dragons after he was banned under the code's controversial no-fault stand down policy.

The trial is tipped to last three weeks.

Can't help but think that his lawyers/manager revealed the cancer diagnosis, as a result of it being a hung trial, hoping to change public sentiment towards the guy...
