Panthers vs Cowboys

[franklin2323]

You're having a separate conversation to me. I'm not saying what Staines did was correct. I'm saying Fletcher is a mong for trying to talk tough at the kid publicly.

Where did he talk tough? He is more explaining why they went to the NRL with it rather than handle it in house which they normally would.

No where does it say he will be punished. No where does it say it was done intentionally
Just that they had to act

Players and Managers often get a say or proof read these before they are made public. If he was being a mong it wouldn't of been published

It's important to remember too, that this is the 3rd player in our top 30 squad to breach COVID protocols.

I'm sure the NRL would be breathing down our neck if we tried to down play this.

 

[franklin2323]

Under normal circumstances they wouldn't be calling the club. He's a 19 year old who was likely plastered after celebrating his debut at a ridiculous time in the morning. It's perfectly understandable he didn't call the club. What's he going to say with lockjaw?

Mmmhmhmhhm!

Do you think every single player knows what is on the banned list of not?

So even without Corona restrictions they speak to the club before getting treatment

Adam MacDougall got 2 years for taking fertility drugs. So ignorance doesn't stop a ban.

It is a recurring issue so very likely his club medical history has the actual drug he takes. They call the hospital and is treated.

If this happened last year. He'd cop a fine and no one knows.. It is now a bigger issue because of Coronavirus possibly being at certain hospitals

Well said.

Yep given both those guys missed game time for lying. Better off laying it all out on the table

 

[Jane Murray]

Yeah. All it takes is a nurse to get him the wrong medication and it is a couple of years rest

Medication errors are a rarity.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Medication errors are a rarity.

The rules for those in professional sports are quite complicated, and often change.

That's why the club would want to know first.

Yeah I realise that. However, apart from the doctor, the others are not permitted to dispense medications.

who was the second?

 

[Jane Murray]

who was the second?

Cleary and May.

 

[snickers007]

who was the second?

I think I wrongly included TMay. But that was lying to the Integrity Unit. Still stemming from a COVID breach, but yeah...

 

[franklin2323]

Medication errors are a rarity.

Not an error as far as the general public are concerned but for professional athletes

 

[Luke Bowden]

ohh right, yeah, I don’t count May, he was just covering for his mate.

 

[Jane Murray]

I took your comment as a medication error, i.e. giving them the wrong medication.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

I took your comment as a medication error, i.e. giving them the wrong medication.

The rules (asada) are very strict and change at a moment's notice. Only doctors who specialize in sports science would be up on the current demands. (like a club doctor)

A register at and A and E department would have very little idea of what is allowed and not allowed.

Hence the importance of contacting the club doctors first.

 

[herbert henry1908]

ohh right, yeah, I don’t count May, he was just covering for his mate.

May didn’t just cover for Cleary, he was at the house with the girls, too. That was the breach.

 

[Hooked]

Val Holmes out for 8-10 weeks.

 

[Luke Bowden]

May didn’t just cover for Cleary, he was at the house with the girls, too. That was the breach.

Are you sure? I thought he was at home and told the commission that Nathan and the girls were in the lounge room and he was in bedroom.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Cleary is in some doubt with his ankle.

I say we rest him and play Burton.

No point risking him.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Are you sure? I thought he was at home and told the commission that Nathan and the girls were in the lounge room and he was in bedroom.

He did both. He lied to the NRL integrity unit and was at the house.
