Good move by the NRL, the game needs the Titans.


Bet Smith is astounded by the controversy & problems in the game....the game as a whole is very resilient.

“I’ll go on record as saying that I was around it, as in hearing stuff about it, more in Sydney than I was up here,” Rogers said.

Rogers played for the Sharks from 1995 to 2001 and then the NSW Waratahs from 2002 to 2006 before becoming an inaugural Titan.

I didn't quote the whole thing but the above two are the ones needed. Nothing bad but like always they have to find away to put Cronulla into any bad news story.

"As in hearing about it"

Talk about digging yourself a hole. So we are to believe it was all talk with no direct evidence. Basically rumour. And that talk manifested itself predominantly in Sydney?

Should just shut his mouth.

Role of the CCC

http://www.ccc.qld.gov.au/about-the-ccc
The Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) is a statutory body set up to combat and reduce the incidence of major crime and corruption in the public sector in Queensland. Its functions and powers are set out in the Crime and Corruption Act 2001.

The CCC investigates both crime and corruption, has oversight of both the police and the public sector, and protects witnesses. It is the only integrity agency in Australia with this range of functions. In brief, the CCC:

investigates organised crime, paedophilia, terrorist activity and other serious crime referred to it for investigation
receives and investigates allegations of serious or systemic corrupt conduct
helps recover the proceeds of crime
provides the witness protection service for the state of Queensland
conducts research on crime, policing or other relevant matters.

So bearing in mind the CCC's mission statement they are after the big players (pardon the pun).

This latest 'scandal' would seem to be a cog in a bigger agenda and I think small time cocaine users will be pressured to 'rollover' and incriminate the actual suppliers and hell maybe even importers of the drug.

I mean some casual user scoring some blow and distributing it among friends without aiming to profit is hardly big fish.

Im kinda mysterfied why this statutory body commissioned to take on major criminal activities seems to be concentrating on rugby league players. All the sensational headlines centre on a number of current players snorting coke with friends. Supply? Technically correct. Profitable illegal drug supply?

I don't think so.

Because it's high profile, puts the commission in a good light and its great pr, which is highly driven in today's media climate.

Not surprising at all.

So their agenda is to seek kudos?

I'd love to see their budget. It would be astronomical with huge pressure to justify it.

What better result than adverse headlines for a premier football code. Kinda reminds me of the darkest day in Australian sport baloney.

Wouldnt be an agenda but wouldn't shy away from any positive publicity.. No different to any other organisation really,

The footballers are a small piece of a lot bigger picture with this investigation it seems, but like any decent size investigation it' would be about the small hits along the way to formulate a stronger case, which would be against the likes of Thomas or whatever his surname is and whoever else is involved in this syndicate.

Easier to start from the bottom and work your way up gunna

There budget would have something to do with it, a new government in QLD, so CCC putting forward that they cant afford cut in funding

Its funny. When ASADA came out about the Sharks there was numerous threads on the subject & finally all merged into one big one.
Go to the Donkeys forum & there is nothing.
I wondered...is it head in the sand mentality that if they dont discuss it then it will just go away or the fact that all their shite gets swept under the rug so theres no need to speak of it?

Check a few pages back tye. Someone suggested photos were of Gal at Bird's bucks party. Apparently he didn't go to the bucks, only the wedding. Wasn't he heavily training for his boxing at that point?
