Lmao a sharks fan talking about grubby club and getting off lightly

My club was fined $1million and the coach banned for a year.
My club has had a tumultuous few years but a spade is still a spade.

Back to issue at hand - Souths got off lightly.

Sharks got off lightly. Maybe we should give Sutton a 10 year suspension but backdate it to 2005 and we're all sweet for round 1!

Players got off lightly.

Be pretty tough to argue that a 1 million dollar fine on the club is "light".

Flanno could also be considered to be getting off very lightly.

Who gives a flying?

Bra Boy gets on the booze and acts like a houso thug? Standard.

Houso thug is captain of The Pride of the Housos? Perfectly emblematic.

Move on.

Today's SMH reports (not sure how to provide the link) that the IU attempted to talk to the bouncer who dropped the charges, but he refused to do so because of a confidentiality agreement he signed with the Rabbits. Wasn't it found by the IU that the Rabbits didn't know about the compromise payment? It doesn't add up. If there is such a confidentiality agreement, when was it signed, who signed it on behalf of Souths and with whose authority?

The IU didnt spend the last couple weeks since they re-opened their investigation trying to work out what happened, they spent it trying to work out how they can make this go away without further implicating Richo or embarass themselves any further. Pretty obvious they had f**k all interest in telling the truth.

Burgess paid the money and did not tell Souths abut it

agree.

this is the best option..

playing whilst suspended? that's an illegal move..

means the grand final last year is invalid..



simple solution.



strip the title.

So when did the bouncer entered into a confidentiality agreement with Rabbits, as reported by the SMH?

If that is what it said in the SMH then the Herald is wrong. The payment of the settlement money by Burgess included a confidentiality agreement. The confidentiality agreement is not with Souths. That news has been out there for quite a while, such as posted here - http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8956620

In fact that is why the media have been having a go at the Integrity Unit as they found out about the agreement by making 1 phone call and doing an internet search and paying $8.00, according to the reported from Channel9 who was interviewed by The Grill Team on 2MMM this morning.

Well I'd expect a retraction from the SMH in the coming days as they have definitely reported that it was Souths who entered into the confidentiality agreement.

Hahahhaha, a retraction? You'll be waiting a while.
You see all sorts of shit printed as fact by these rags every day.
Plus you haven't posted the article anyway.

I'm unable to post the link. However, its an article by Michael Carayannis. Refer to the 3rd paragraph.

clearly you can't read as this is the 3rd paragraph http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/...sydney-rabbitohs-debacle-20150302-13t3fc.html

Clubs will be advised of the integrity unit's new powers later this week. The change in the integrity unit's brief comes after they were left red faced by Fairfax Media's investigations surrounding the events which led to Sutton and Burgess' arrests. The NRL only reopened its investigation once it was revealed Burgess had paid "satisfaction" to bouncer Patrick Scruggs, who was injured by Burgess. The NRL unsuccessfully tried to interview Scruggs who refused providing any information after signing a confidentially agreement with the Rabbitohs. Channel 7 reported Scruggs was paid $9000 to request the police charges be dropped.
