I think we'd come out of this a lot better if Barry russell was visually more appealing.

He looks like mr magoo.
Lil guy dobbing his own club in.
Right or wrong - if he was blinged up and spoke like Kanye telling everyone to eat a dick.....we wouldnt look like such a joke.

He can do whatever he wants
They are not the cops

They’ll just fine the club instead
I know that is tongue in cheek, but I am serious. Plus two different things dude.

What is to stop all players showing up to Newtown Leagues and having lunch with the Newtown lads, every Wednesday, with Shane invited.

Clearly emailing instructions is forbidden, can he not talk to players?

Serious question.

Apparently it’s fine if you invite them as a mate.

I bet there's no audit trail to Bellamy though. How dumb were Keogh etc.


Maybe they thought the discussions they were having related to flannos contract renewal

I find it hard to believe they are actually that stupid that they would use official communication channels to discuss something they knew they weren't allowed to

I asked this before. When does NRLs edicts on a persons movements ,correspondence ,associations etc overstep their arbitrary powers? Hes deregistered now. would think he can do or see whoever he likes. Any future penalty for what he does would be illegal Id think .

Audit trail to Bellamy ? Once they patched up the obvious wrongdoings, and stopped thm setting up an unassailable 50 year dynasty why would they bother looking further?

It was not face book
And it says “initiated”
News.com actually

His first correspondence was sent just weeks after his suspension and continued all the way to September 2014.

The club is believed to have initiated most of the discussions, resulting in the extra $400,000 fine.

Selective, out of context quoting. You forgot this

Until then Flanagan cannot have any official involvement with the club. To avoid punishment it appears the Sharks will have to successfully counter evidence found by the NRL integrity unit that more than 50 emails were sent by Flanagan concerning retention and recruitment.

Like I said, he’s a dumb qhunt for responding.

So what Barry should have done was call IT expert in, deleted every email going back to 2014, called Flanno aside and advised that 2019 will be his last season, but if you want to leave know all fine and good keep it in house, the Roosters would have done that.

What concerns me going forward with Barry is, will it be like old days, a player mucks up, and we sack him, when over clubs do the rehab keep those key players at the club and win, which brings me to Fifita if he mucks up, does Barry play high moral ground and sack him, only to be picked up by another club, Flanno kept the players he wanted, great man manager.

Gorman, nothing about Gorman was this all before his time ??

Barry has clearly farged up massively here. Surely he should have done his own forensic investigation before turning it over to the NRL. What are the rules around the NRL’s ability to access information anyway? Would the NRL have been allowed to leak info if they found Flange was having a secret affair with a players mrs? Or did we just hand over the computers and tell the NRL to go for their life?

The NRL’s ban was ridiculous but the sharks and flanno are dumb as dogs hit for leaving tracks.

Can we employ Flanno as a coaching director? Does the NRL actually have the power to decide who a club can and cannot employ?

I have asked this before if we fold, who would benefit if the ground was then laid to wastes and more units go in, someone has to benefit

The most alarming thing in the thread is actually the Pissflap fanboys who are displaying the same amoral attitude that he has.

When you support lack of integrity there are serious questions to be asked about your own integrity.

I have a dim view of all the blinkered apologists displaying their butthurt by defending the indefensible
