Jdb case

[Gardenia]

Will JDB be back at training does anyone know ?
Happy NY

Opinion is divided on this one. Its been said he is free to train. but there is divided opinion as to if he actually will or not. Tomorrow is the day they start back again so we will soon know.

And it looks like the press have shown respect for the process and haven’t swarmed . That’s good

I'm sure his legal representatives told him to go to work .........

Guess we’ve taken the whole innocent till proven guilty stance.

Wonder what his role is at training, is it just conditioning work or is he playing attacking drills given his role as a ball player?

Not sure it would be wise to train most of the pre season if there’s a chance he’ll be rubbed out. Best to put someone else in that role.

Unless we think there’s a good chance he’ll get off?

How can he be rubbed out , suspended or what ever you want to call it, he is innocent until otherwise proven.

A bloke called Corey Norman is the guy that should be the ball player not a bloody forward!

I agree, more tackling and hard running and less ball playing.

With less than a month until the boots are laced up.
Where does JDB , St. George Illawarra, The lady involved and The NRL stand.
????
Is this whole mess a lost cause?
Is his career a lost a lost cause?
When does this go to trial?
Is there any forgiveness available?
How deep is the rabbits hole?
I'm naive to current events. Distracted by life.
Whats the go? Summed up.
His defense will be missed. I don't see the gap being filled no matter how many Sims are available.

How long is a piece of string?

he has a court appearance mid feb which will probably just set a trial date for much later in the year.

 

[ALSGI]

The less said on here the better going by other threads on JDB. Let’s see what happens at court, on Feb 12 I think.

 

[TruSaint]

As a fan of the club, I have adopted the attitude that JDB is not in our plans for this year. Not thats he's guilty but until cleared I dont see the point of lifting my hopes.

AS @ALSGI said, I will leave his matter in the hands of the legal system.

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

As indicated in the Mark My Words thread, I feel Jack D. will be absent this year,

 

[JDHD]

It’s an incredibly complicated legal quagmire so all we can do is withhold judgement until he’s convicted or acquitted. If he’s acquitted, we welcome him back with open arms. If he’s convicted, we kick him to the kerb.

If guilty, I’d suggest his partner will do that adequately.

 

[TruSaint]

There are threads on JDB elsewhere, so it may be a good idea to merger this with those other JDB threads. I understand @Jersey No 14 ' s concern, but this way we keep this very delicate matter under one roof.

If he is convicted he will be in jail.

Depends - the police know there is a difference between being innocent and being found not guilty.

The situation isn't that complexed really . At his hearing he will plead not guilty . It will either be thrown out or go to trial . Either way JDB will return to training and will play up until the trial if there is one . The Nrl and Dragons will not stand him down .
If it go's to trial and he is found guilty he will go to jail . If found innocent life continues on for him and there will be no punishment from the Nrl or Dragons .
