Ignorance is not an excuse. That is legit his defence “I didn’t know” 😂

his lawyer is trying to get out of the Covid fine saying he lost more by losing his job

many of these Covid breaches are being dropped because people are in “hard times”. See above.

it’s for 2 months of his deal which works out to be 140k

he retired from the nrl because he couldn’t afford the nrl fines so all the above is irrelevant.

nothing story

I’m sure the club would have proof all players where told about the rules, the club took its time firing hi. Was lucky he didn’t lose an extra $100k+ If we fired him early.

Problem is with all these covid charges being dropped it is likely by law we are screwed.

What I don't get is how is ignorance an excuse, everyone knew you weren't mean to go travel around the state and wasn't he pulled over and told to go home but then went the opposite direction.

How can you play the I don't know the rules card.

What a drop kick.

Didn't he have to pay fines to the NRL ? Surely there where other discrepencies which contributed to his sacking, You know 3 strikes and your out....

He had a few other strikes at the time as well, didn't he?

Yep I’m sure he had some runs on the board. The point is though if his sacking was dependent on this being the trigger then his “innocence” by overturning this decision would mean he should never have had the “final” breach.

It’s no longer about whether he broke the law at the time it’s now about whether it’s dropped. Like it never happened.

True however was he sacked for breaking the law or for breaching an NRL edict in force at the time and based upon NSW Health advice? If the latter he needs a new lawyer.

Flanagan did the Quinella of god awful signings of all time in Josh Dugan and Shaun Johnson. Seriously has there ever been worse value for money and character in the history of the Sharks? Character for different reasons. Bad value because they delivered so little on those massive contracts.

He just wants enough of a case that the club can’t be arsed being dragged through the courts, then settle for 50k or some such.
