Corey Norman

[Twizzle]

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.

IS that what you normally use ?

 

[TheFrog]

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

Damn, they're onto us.

 

[TheFrog]

Friday 10am... hayne returns for weekend clash with panthers

I guess he'll be sitting in the Western grandstand.

 

[TheFrog]

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 ?

Idenfinitely as in it has not yet been determined when he will be allowed to play again. Seems fair enough to me.

Awesome.

If the club wanted to say indefinitely, they would have.

i.e. he's not being stood down indefinitely, just this week at this stage.

at this stage = indefinitely

 

[ash411]

at this stage = indefinitely

no, it's one week, pending the outcome of the hearing = 1 week.

I mean, it's semantics at this point, I'm just saying if we've defined it as this round, the media shouldn't be able to say indefinitely, why couldn't they just say this round?

 

[parra-matters]

Souths have sacked 2 players in 2 days yet we still be back page of the telecrap tomorrow i bet.

 

[Captain BF]

If a player gets sacked, how does that impact the salary cap? Does the players contracted amount still count ?

 

[Gary Gutful]

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

Very true.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

If a player gets sacked, how does that impact the salary cap? Does the players contracted amount still count ?

If the player has committed a major breach of their contract (e.g. repeated breaches of drug code), and if the NRL agree to the termination, the contracted amount is typically exempt. But any payout of accrued entitlements would be assessed on the cap.

 

[Bandwagon]

I;d agree with that, or more simply put, any payout made would have to be included in the cap in some way.

 

[Docker EBay]

souths have sacked two as should you guys someone has to go

 

[Gary Gutful]

I'm still sittin on the docker Ebay
Gonna be in the swamp today...

 

[Sphagnum]

if we had a no DH policy at LU there wouldn't too many left

There certainly wouldn't be any moderators left

 

[Eelementary]

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

LOL so true.

Sorry, bro.

It's just...fmd - this season has been surreal.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

souths have sacked two as should you guys someone has to go

You are an idiot !!!

One dude was on his 10th or so offence with the club including assault of a woman.

And the other was at his third club after being sacked by both of them.

Now back to the drawing board dickhead!!

Norman conquests costly

Earlier this year, Corey Norman's management company was asking some clubs if they wanted to pay the talented playmaker as much as $1.2 million … a season.

After this week, following revelations he allegedly copped cash in brown-paper bags, became involved in a sex-and-drug-tape scandal and then pleaded guilty in court to drug possession, he will be lucky to get the ".2".

Whatever sanctions the Eels throw at Norman, the blow will be bizarrely softened because the sex tape in question is so explicit and the $150,000 asking price so high that it will never see the light of day.

According to those who have seen the tape, both Norman and former housemate James Segeyaro knew they were being filmed.

Earlier this year, Roosters halfback Mitchell Pearce was stood down for two months for a video he didn't know he was starring in. Norman might argue he has a right to privacy, but he showed how much he respected "privacy" by circulating the footage of a man snorting a white substance to teammates. Parramatta and NRL officials remain uncertain if the explicit video of Norman and a woman was also sent to teammates.

Eels coach Brad Arthur wanted to play Norman against the Panthers on Saturday. There was no way the NRL was going to allow that to happen.

The Eels are yet to set a date for Corey Norman’s disciplinary hearing

LAURA BANKS, The Daily Telegraph
July 14, 2016 7:40pm

THE Parramatta Eels continue to sweep their scandals under the carpet, quietly giving troubled playmaker Corey Norman a one week suspension while clamouring to convene a disciplinary committee hearing following his conviction for drug possession.

The Eels had still not set a date for the hearing on Thursday, with a spokesman for the club telling The Daily Telegraph it would be “sometime next week”.

Parramatta ushered out the hurried punishment shortly before kick-off of Wednesday night’s Origin match, saying they would put Norman on the sidelines until they could assemble the committee.
