Thank the F**K for that .....

So after all this is he eligible to play or do they need to wait to see if the DDP will find new evidence by 28 May ?

Finally ! Let's hope Jack can move on, and NRL finally accept the "Not Guilty" verdict with no further DELAYS !!! I hope NRL action Jack's implementation as a registered player effective immediate considering the long struggle for Jack.

The NRL cant do anything until the 28th of the month.
That's the date set by the judge for the DPP to decide if they intend to pursue a 3rd trial.
I doubt they will.

It will be fascinating to see if the police apply their high moral standards to their own and both charge for perjury and sack the detective who admitted lying under oath.

I hope Diamond Dallas Page doesn't take too long to work that out...I'll give myself a thumbs down for that one

I would think he would have to wait until then.
I'd imagine it would be rare to go to trial 3 times?? Those smarter than me would possibly know.

The NRL will be sweating I reckon

Can the NRL suspend him for bringing the game in disrepute, if in fact he has?

Surely if it went to a 3rd, the same result would happen, it's like the rocky movies.
Jack / Sinclair 15th trial?

It has always been clear to me that it would be hard to arrive at a guilty verdict based on the evidence presented. The police never should have laid the charges given the evidence and should never have lied in an effort to strengthen their case against De Belin.

The DPP should immediately drop the case and let De Belin get on with his life and on with his football career. I truly hope that De Belin takes action against the NRL and in doing so gets their stand down no fault rule toosd out.

I'm guessing no.

If the DPP won't pursue another trial, then by the standards set by the NRL, JDB would be allowed to return. No fault - stand down rule.

Going to the third case with a Jury is certainly a waste of tax payers money and the court system.
2 hung cases c'mon. Let it and Jack in particular rest.

Yes that will be interesting. And not to mention the lack of evidence.

Has to see what happens on the 28th of May when they see what they can do.

Not really, the DPP has to make a decision BY 28 May not on 28 May. Given their failure over the past 3 years, lies and lack of empathy for the accused, I believe they should drop the case now. It goes without saying that NONE of the charges against De Belin have been proved under our legal system.

Dragons statement: Jack de Belin

The Jack de Belin court matter did not reach a verdict on five of the six charges as a result of a hung jury in Sydney District Court on Monday.

De Belin was however found not guilty of a sixth charge.

De Belin remains subject to the NRL's no-fault stand down policy.


The next steps concerning all facets of matter are yet to be established.

The Dragons will continue to provide the necessary welfare support to de Belin and his family.

As this remains a legal matter, the club will make no further comment at this time.

The police never should have laid the charges given the evidence.

Two hung juries vindicate the decision from the police to lay charges. Their role is not to determine guilt.

Unfortunately they will take until the 28th to reach that decision. They want to be seen as take all paths possible.

With not new evidence at hand it would be very strange to try a 3rd trail.
