  • Rabbitohs release findings ofinvestigation into complaint
  • No South Sydney player breached their NRL Playing Contract, the NRL Rules or the SSFC Code of Conduct
The Panel appointed by the South Sydney Rabbitohs has completed its investigation into a complaint made regarding inappropriate conduct by a Rabbitohs player in May of this year.

This investigation arose from reports in the Daily Telegraph on 14 and 15 September 2018, and emails sent by an anonymous complainant in May, June and August 2018 which alleged inappropriate conduct by a South Sydney player on a Facebook Messenger video call.

After being informed of the matter, the Club committed to investigate the complaint in consultation and co-operation with the NRL Integrity Unit. It appointed a panel consisting of Commissioner Lea Drake (Independent), Karyn Murphy (NRL Integrity Unit), Nick Pappas (Rabbitohs Chairman), Emily Grant (Rabbitohs Head of Operations, People and Culture) and Blake Solly (Rabbitohs Chief Executive Officer) to investigate and report upon the complaint.

Representatives of the Panel interviewed South Sydney players and staff. The Complainant was interviewed privately by Ms Murphy. The Complainant declined to be interviewed by the Panel, and did not want her identity disclosed, which the Club has respected. The Panel has also reviewed all available documentary material.

Based on a thorough review of the available evidence before it, the Panel was not satisfied that any South Sydney player engaged in any actionable misconduct resulting in a breach of their NRL Playing Contract, the NRL Rules or the SSFC Code of Conduct.

The Rabbitohs have no further comment to make at this time.

For the record, I don’t believe he did anything wrong

However I find it very perplexing given previous punishments that he has got off completely scott free.
Why would he get punished if the findings were he did nothing wrong?

In any case he will be dealing with his wife and it will be a personal issue for him now, as it should have been from the beginning

Is that really the end of it? Those are the findings of a panel appointed by Souths which includes 3 of their senior employees.

Would have thought the NRL now has to decide whether the findings and lack of action are acceptable.

I would like to know what the telegraph knew before they published it, or if they failed to scrutinise the accusations thoroughly in their lust to embarrass the NRL.

The NRL have to be careful as it could be argued he’s a victim of revenge porn, obviously we don’t know all the story.

''we couldn't get into contact with the lady so sam is innocent, kthnxbye''

The female NRL rep on the Souths investigation board spoke to her.

The Roosters are clearly behind all this, as Souffs believe.

We're also responsible for Roswell, the suspicious death of Phar Lap in America, and the Tunguska blast in Siberia. I also hear that it was in fact Ray Stehr lurking behind the grassy knoll in Dallas on that fateful day in 1963.

The South Sydney Flat Earthers are not paranoid at all. It's all true.
Never saw any suggestion from Souths that they thought the chooks were behind it. Maybe a few idiots on this forum hinted at it, and a few News journos trying to whip it good..
