I think the NRLs code of conduct would be a little more stringent than that. They have breached the team rules, the dogs can fire them no problems. Whether or not the NRL can de-register them is another question but I daresay they have not only broken the bulldogs rules but breached the NRLs code of conduct in which case its see ya later.

I thought that the NRL Code of Conduct related to match activities (eg. sportsmanship, respecting referees etc), as well as match-adjacent activities (eg. no illegal drug use, no gambling etc).

But you can guarantee that somewhere in their NRL Contract will be something like bringing the game into disrepute as a catch all. And you can also bet that if the Bulldogs are neck deep in sponsorship negotiations these guys will be very lucky to survive.

why would they have a press conference and they say 10 different ways "we cant tell you shit".

Its f**king embarrassing how amateur this sport is.
It was Pay's routine captains run press conference it just happened to be really poor timing and obviously Hill was there because he knew what the questions would be about.

It wasn't a special press conference called to answer questions about the incident and if they weren't playing tomorrow night they wouldn't have had one.

The dogs have said they have clearly breached the games code of conduct so I think they are pushing for them to be dealt with by the NRL

Edit: Actually I am calling bullshit on this. You don't bring the club ceo out for a captains run press conference. Who does captains run press conferences in any event? That isn't a thing. @the marsha

A sex video with an under 18 is child porn under legislation, but if that’s your thing...
Calm down Mrs Lovejoy. I’ll pass your concerns on to my mate.

It was a pretty obvious joke, and in any case, where does it say they are under 18?

Yeah you normally don't bring a CEO to a captains run press conference but this wasn't normal was it? The club would have known what was coming and they prepared for it with Hill being there. Pay has done a press conference on the eve on a game ever since he has been at the Dogs.

I'd be happy to see them sacked and even deregistered. Not sure what you'd expect me or anyone else to say?

Wait, so was this girl 18?

If not, why isnt this criminal?

What does age of consent mean?
The age of consent is the age at which the law says you can agree to have sex.

If you are under the age of consent, the law says that you cannot legally agree to have sex, and any person that has sex with you has broken the law.

In NSW, the age of consent is 16. If you are 16 years old, another person can have sex with you if you agree to it (unless they are your carer or supervisor—see section on sex with a carer or supervisor below).

but

Sex with a carer or supervisor
It is a crime for a person who is caring for you, supervising you or has authority over to have sex with you while you are between the ages of 16 to 18.

There is an exception to this. If you are aged 14-18 years old, there may be a legal defence that applies. According to this defence, if you are aged 14-18 years old, and the person in a position of care or authority over you is less than two years older than you, you can legally agree to have sex with them.

Some examples of people who are in a position of care or supervision over you would include your teacher, sports coach, youth worker, counsellor, foster carer, religious instructor, health professional, or police officer.

If I were them I would be fairly fkn nervous given the above if the definition of carer/supervisor can be stretched far enough to include school-visiting pro athletes.

You are talking rubbish mate if they had the ceo there then its not his normal press conference is it?

Edit: Coaches have media obligations where they have to talk to the press the day before the game is that what you mean Pay does? Cause that isn't a press conference. I have no trouble finding his post game pressers from last year, I cant see any pre game press conferances.
