So remind me of the NRL immediate stand down policy for potential criminal discretions. Was it for potential crimes that would serve 11+ years in jail if found guilty.? They are saying a potential up to max 14 years again if found guiltyGeez I hate dwelling on our recent past failures - makes the off season so disheartening.
Back to the rumours
As a human being I do not endorse this clown Ezra Mam however when I read this headline, as both a Saints and Bowie fan, I recalled the lyrics of Sufragette City
Ohhh, wham bam thank you Mam
OT,FFS I’m not defending Hook nor am I denying his love affair with has beens.
I’m merely pointing out the truth of the matter.
People trying to be so enthusiastic about the S F results and how miraculous it all was and how we almost made the 8.
The squad this year was substantially better than we had in 2022.
Many in here saying S F unhinged Lomax, improved Suli & Sua, how great K F was for us etc etc
The truth is we had a soft draw, a better side, 1 more game, got the 2 best sides during origin and we didn’t nearly make the 8 we fell well short in 11th spot with a pathetic differential.
Talk it up all you like S F had a season comparable to dinosaur Hook in 2022 and Ben Hunt ran the side just as he always has with no change and was kept for yet another season.
Hopefully S F has a better year in 2025 and that Cook & Holmes fire for us but 2024 was ordinary and S F knows it and he even admits it even if posters in this place don’t.
Just because we finished higher than the idiots in the media said we would doesn’t make it a successful year.
I dare say S F would agree more with my view of last season than the sycophants who are easily pleased.
I actually believe S F would be pretty pissed off and that is a real good thing in my book.
Correct..lets compare that to Flanno on his full 2nd year after 2025.Dragons actually got 12 wins in 2022 better than this year with negative 100 versus 11 wins this year an a negative 126, so Hooks last full year was better
His deal is for 5 years worth $4m. Based on our experience, I guess this could all be settled - maybe he gets off - by mid-season 2026. However, based on precedent, he may not be able to play nor can he be sacked. This is a disaster for the Broncos.So remind me of the NRL immediate stand down policy for potential criminal discretions.

Just asking
I am just wondering why no media outlet has raised it. They are focussing on the Broncos sacking him. The rule came in for very serious offences and I think this fits the bill and the time.His deal is for 5 years worth $4m.

One good thing that may come out of it is that all clubs surely must start to random-test for cocaine. At this point, it is just basic self-preservation.
Hmm. It is 14 years he is looking at. So maybe they can sack him. I only just saw that he was even driving unlicensed. Complete idiot.I am just wondering why no media outlet has raised it.
Thought that myself. There won't be two trials. But there is no way he can play while all of this rolls on.it is a hard defend unless tests are wrong.
There are 3 of our blokes on market from Nov 1 that would be sought after, Sione and the Couchmans.. looks like all 3 will go to market by the sound of it, to be fair though.. all 3 are very difficult to price.Video on youtube of Sione Finau training in his home town in VIC with a mate where his mate says he'll be playing for Parra in the future.
Replied to a comment asking if he was really leaving by saying 'nothing serious.. but who knows aha'. I would probably guess his mate was told not to confirm anything like that before its all done.. but Finau is probably gone reading between the lines
