I can tell you one thing my mate isn't any of the maggots in the current board, past boards or anything like that. You would be surprised who he is.
Not the point, he shouldn't be leaking things to non-club people.

Have they learnt nothing in the last 6 months FFS?

Sometimes pleading guilty and copping a few hundred fine is better than pleading not guilty. The matter then being adjourned so you can call a heap of witnesses who won't appreciate being in the spotlight.

Didn't he for one minute think who he was hanging with? What a f**king idiot. I would have stood him down on this photo alone.

Kinda like when our boy Hayne was hanging out in the cross and got shot at ?

I have no idea who any of them are mate. But obviously someone is telling him something, that is then being passed on. Some things are harmless, some things are harmful but arguably morally right, and others probably serve no good purpose.

Mate it wasn't a big leak. Just a stupid excuse that he thought would wash. The guy is a peanut.

There's no such thing as "not a big leak".

Loose lips sink ships, that's all I'll say about it now, I don't feel like getting into it with you again.

By the way I'm not part of the club. I was just messing with you ash. And I have never leaked anything to the media or to people who would. Not my style.

Norman told the club he was innocent, hence why the club put out a statement saying they'd support him until his day in court, and innocent until proven otherwise. I don't think they knew the guilty plea was coming..
Corey, god bless his naivete, thought that one of the bros putting his hand up and saying the pingers were his would get him off. Unfortunately, his lawyer soon gave him a very quick education on how drug possession laws work, and so he took the easy way out and pleaded guilty.

He could have pleaded not guilty and sought an adjournment, calling witnesses such as James Segeyaro, a UK Super League player who cannot really appear until October or so. So he could have easily put this aside until the off season. But that would mean that whatever the suspension he's getting, would have been served next season. Which would reduce his value either to Parra of some other club quite a bit. So his management advised him to plead guilty and cop the suspension this year, when Parra have next to no chance of making the finals.

Makes perfect sense.

So the club release this statement:

The Parramatta Eels have stood down Corey Norman from the club’s Round 19 game against the Penrith Panthers on Sunday.

Corey today pleaded guilty in a Sydney court to one charge of drug possession and one charge of possessing a restricted substance.

In each matter, Corey has had a conviction recorded and been fined $400; he now has 28 days to lodge any appeal to the sentence.

The club will meet with the NRL this week to review the matter, before Corey meets with the Eels’ disciplinary committee next week.

And Ch9 decide that he's out indefinitely ?
