Craig Young and personal reference for Finch

[Old Timer]

If not mistaken Finch’s charges and guilty plea are about him illegally using a carriage service for distributing images not about him actually being a pedophile.

Yes his actions are deeply disturbing and totally abhorrent but they do stop short of the worst outcome and people should recognise that and stop accusing him / finding him guilty of something that is far worse than his own horrendous actions.

You may want to take your own advice. Or provide a link that states he distributed images.

 

[TruSaint]

There are no justifications for Young. Time for him to take ownership here.
The story ain't going away just beacuse this neanderthal board wishes it so.
Stand down.

 

[Qdf]

No, no he didn't! Young made a mind numbingly dumb decision to do the deed all on his own!

What a dumb arsed f**kwhit.
And this Goose is our Chairman. ☹

 

[KogarahWarrior]

Creagh should be our next chairman if it's going to be anyone internally. At least he's got his head screwed on and has some form of independent thought

 

[Lennyb]

This putredness has tarnished our club and the persons that have facilitated this should be hung out to dry.

Hopefully the feds are conducting investigations in Thailand also...

The shame and disgust felt by Dragons fans would be nothing compared to that of the Young family.

Especially that of Dean, living in a small NRL mad city. Very little anonymity for him going about his normal life.

At the very least, Craig will have a prized seat at the Finch family table on Christmas day.

I also feel for the friends and family of Brett. Who would be racking there brains, thinking was he left alone with there children at get togethers. Absolute nightmare for all concerned.

I'd have to say that this news would not be of much concern to them. Like water off a duck's back when you compare it to the dirty deal done with WIN Corp and the Gordons.

And we are not to suppose that the Young letter did not influence the process that rendered a favorable plea deal for Finch.

 

[Qdf]

Very disappointed to see Craig provided a personal reference on his employers letterhead.

Another muppet using the club as his personal fiefdom.

By all means provide a family friend with a reference if you wish.

Don’t embroil the club in your personal matters.

Yes this imbercile, that represents us as our CHAIRMAN must go.NOW.

Wasn’t it provided after the plea was entered? I thought it was for the sentencing hearing.

 

[Maximus]

As I said you are so full of shit.

This coming from the dumbarse who reckons the NRL can sack him?

 

[Maximus]

Wasn’t it provided after the plea was entered? I thought it was for the sentencing hearing.

It was. It was written 2 months after Finch plead guilty. possm as usual has no idea what he is talking about.

 

[Qdf]

I know who'd the dumb arse
you whining bitch....

 

[SBD82]

That’s the spirit fellas.

I f**king love the off season.

 

[Old Timer]

And we are not to suppose that the Young letter did not influence the process that rendered a favorable plea deal for Finch.

He was up on 7 charges and pleaded guilty to 1 and had 6 dropped and that had nothing to do with Albert’s letter.

 

[possm]

This coming from the dumbarse who reckons the NRL can sack him?

The NRL can put pressure on the Club to replace him on the Board.

 

[Maximus]

I know who'd the dumb arse
you whining bitch....

Yeah, this guy

He must be terminated by the NRL.....for bringing the game into disrepute. Period.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I read the profuse apologies from Albert.

Obviously he didn’t have the numbers or influence to smooth it all over in a manner to save himself a fair degree of humiliation and criticism.

The reference is not especially well written, but not too bad. The lawyer has helped.

But it has an ambitious kind of expectation at the end that Brett won’t be in trouble again.

Well, that’s quite unknown and Albert should exercise caution about such language in relation to drug addicts.

The red v is prominent, he’s signed it as Chairperson and it all looks very official.

He should have signed it as a family friend and possibly as an ex detective.

 

[Maximus]

The NRL can put pressure on the Club to replace him on the Board.

No they can't. Any threat to withdraw the licence would likely be illegal

And a Supreme Court justice told them they could not limit another company's directors when they deregistered the Parra board members.
