The NRL shouldn’t have to stand him down.

We should take the hard line as a club and do it ourselves.

My first thought is to agree with you.

but, it should be say 2 games for bring bad publicity or similar, not open ended as the time for criminal offences to finalise is too long, and guilt isn’t proven. That said, i‘d interview him first as we really have no idea on details.

Personally I’d like to see George released the club doesn’t need the bad press. This is the second strike after the mobile phone drama before Christmas.

we don’t need the drama

Yes Maddragon!
Make a statement, we won’t tolerate grubs anymore, send him packing, move on.

This is correct.

I wasn't holding my breath waiting for an apology from some faction of the NRL for Sua sin bin which was unanimously criticised by fox, 9 and radio commentators and directly cost us 2 points

Instead V'landys has come out and attacked DeBelin again.


The hate for our club is clear as day.

In reference to JDB interview, V’Landys seems to be very much part of the woke brigade.

It's not a good idea to start comparing cases. But a quick search provides you with your answer.
www.foxsports.com.au

Blake Ferguson has copped a two-year good behaviour bond over indecent assault

Ferguson lawyers takes aim at NRL
www.foxsports.com.au www.foxsports.com.au
www.abc.net.au

Ferguson loses appeal over Cronulla nightclub assault

Former NRL star Blake Ferguson has lost an appeal against his conviction for indecently assaulting a woman at a Sydney nightclub, but has had his sentence halved.

Again, not good form to make comparisons, particularly when you don't know the circumstances.

Thanks Willow,
I was meaning what was the NRL sanction, ie. did they suspend him for bringing the game into disrepute etc.
But yeah, lets not compare, because we don't know the circumstances. surely it's not the same.

Read Somewhere George is denying the whole thing. Reading between the lines.... he knows the woman..... and i am assuming the allocation is an arse or tit grab, and its his word vs hers. I highly doubt he will get any jail time. Play on. Innocent until proven guilty.
We already got shafted with the JDB case. He got cleared and still we get pumped by the media.
Time for backs to the wall stuff.

No worries and fair enough. Nowadays I tend not to make any connection with NRL sanctions and the legal process.

I just read somewhere that Hook has said that Burgess won't be named in the final 17 on Thursday night. Sorry I can't find the article again to post the link.

To me irrespective of innocence until proven guilty, our players just shouldn't allow themselves to be put into these "questionable" positions in the first place. We don't know the circumstances to these cases but even if found no cause for further action, the black mark has been stamped on our club's cultural reputation nonetheless.

This is possibly a reason why we keep on getting hit with these harsh ref/judiciary penalties.

No mate . . . the only lady our players slap is the "Queen of the Nile" . . . and we still get stiffed( pun intended) by the refs and the judiciary and the NRL.
The answer my friend is . . . shit teams don't matter. Although you guys are at least having a crack !.
