Corey Norman

[Eelementary]

Didn't suity say a few weeks ago this season couldn't get any worse? I hate to think of what's coming next. I suppose most likely is a 60 point drubbing

Would fall in line with this season, tbh.

 

[eloquentEEL]

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 ?

To be fair, you can imply it's indefinite at this stage as we won't have anything definite until the club's disciplinary hearing next week.

Does anyone else think that Corey was involved briefly with some dodgy people who possibly gave him the drugs to carry so if he gets caught they will suggest that they take the fall as long as he owes them one down the track?

I would imagine someone has gotten in his ear and just say he was guilty, cop it and remove any affiliation with those people going forward.

Just a thought anyways.

That's what Ray Donovan would have told him to do anyway.

... Or maybe the dodgy people were hoping his fame might help in a sense that the bouncers might see it and look the other way, cause, famous and all that..

He only got caught because the pills were in a metal container which was picked up when he was scanned at the entrance of the Star nightclub IIRC. If they were in a zip-lock plastic bag none of this would have happened.

Who puts drugs in a metal container? geez...

If he was handed them by someone else, there is also the possibility they gave it to him knowing the container would trip the metal detector and he'd be caught. Why? Who knows..

Isn't it obvious. This was an elaborate plot by Penrith fans, probably Pugsley, to ensure he would be out for this weekends game

That's playing the long game... carefully orchestrating when to get him busted, knowing how it will take to get a court date, so he'd be suspended this exact week.

They deserve the 2 points..

 

[The EELiminator]

The fine does f**k all. He must be sanctioned for a number of games. No ifs or buts.

you called it avenger i should have known brad would make the right call no matter the cost
hopefully the team will fire up and repay him for it

 

[phantom eel]

Here's hoping he makes the right call if Semi is found guilty when his case appears before tbe court too.

 

[parra-matters]

players seem to play pretty well for us after they have been convicted of a crime.

 

[parra-matters]

Yeah is Semi is guilty of a much worse crime then he would have to suspended and fine a lot more than Corey has been, maybe even contract torn up.

I think if Semi is found guilty it won't be up to the club.

If Semi is guilty of what he has been accused of, then hopefully we do rip up his contract - get rid of him.

Provided he can still get into the EU then he would not give a crap.

100% Agree, and i'm sure the NRL would put a ban on him too for at least 12months anyway.

Not sure about getting a working Visa if you are a convicted of Domestic Violence, although it seems to be tolerated in some countries.

 

[Gronk]

Semi deserves his day in court. Hazam & SKD were in the same situation and the charges were eventually dropped or they were found NG. Not saying that Semi is innocent or guilty, however it seems that it's hard to make allegations like these stick.

After all Semi's charges seem to have only been raised when there was a thought by the plaintiff that he was going to piss off overseas and never come back. Semi was not providing for his family at the time. Well that was what the media were alleging anyway. More complex than some have concluded i'm sure.

LOL

Could this season get worse for us?

i wish people would stop saying this every time they do it does get worse in some new and unexpected way
