Payne Haas Stood Down - mother now in court

[bull rider]

if hes going to get 4 weeks for not being in a fight, he should have at least belted someone and got 6.

Haas Payne stood down or has Payne Haas been stood down.

And what Haas he stood down from?

 

[grouch]

Haasta la vista, Payney

I think he's on first

 

[This Year?]

The cubicle wasn't big enough?

 

[Life's Good]

So he gets 4 weeks for not talking to the Integrity Unit but Inglis gets a written character reference despite getting done for DUI.
Sounds reasonable.....

 

[Generalzod]

I've given a new name for my Payne......lol

 

[This Year?]

Being stood down is better than getting a virus...

 

[carcharias]

Flano should’ve just refused.
2-4 weeks

While I agree Inglis' punishment was light, he still missed two tests for Australia and was stripped of the captaincy. Not enough - agreed - but you can't ignore that when making such a comparison.

"Case by case basis"
Lol

 

[AJB1102]

So you just refuse to cooperate with the IU and they piss off?

I’m not comparing the punishments just highlighting the arbitrary nature of them.
I just don’t understand how, between the NRL, IU & clubs there’s clear method of adjudication(if that’s the correct word) to arrive at suitable punishments.
In this instance it’s like the Broncos are trying to make up for signing Matt Lodge by chest beating about ‘standards of behaviour’ & poor old Haas is bearing the brunt of it.
To all intents & purposes it’s a family matter(withno police involvement)so I’m not sure why he’s being singled out for such heavy punishment.

There isn't a clear method and TBH, I'm not sure there even can be - no two incidents the same etc etc.

I think Haas and the club have done the right thing here - he's opted to protect his family's privacy by not cooperating, as is his right; while Brisbane have opted to protect their brand (however flawed that decision is in light of signing Lodge) by punishing him.

I agree that punishments should be based on the incident once all facts are clear, no argument there.

I just don't see how, unless the police have asked the IU to press Haas for information(which they haven't as far as I can tell), which he isn't forthcoming with is then slapped with a 4 week ban because he wants to keep a private matter, private. As for the Broncos protecting their brand, it appears to be a non violent, personal matter totally unrelated to their brand and the IU has chucked a dummy spit because Hass basically told them to butt out.

He’s the first sacrificial lamb for the Broncos and the NRL to show that they’re “serious”, without having to enter any difficult ethical/legal quandaries by standing down players facing criminal charges.

 

[Grapple]

I don't want to be captain obvious here, but clearly the only answer for all this nonsense is to introduce an integrity unit for the integrity unit.

The Avocado obviously hasn’t earned enough ‘Thoroughbred’ points yet.

Yes, poor Broncos, woe is them...
