Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2194483, member: 1764"] The police told the Broncos that to stand down the toilet trio would prejudice the investigation and subsequently a trial if there ever was one (ie, makes them look guilty). I would imagine it'd be similar here. If they stood Stewart down until the trial it might give the appearance of guilt in the minds of the jury and prejudice his case? In any event, I think the NRL would be setting themselves up for a civil lawsuit from Stewart if he was stood down and unable to ply his trade when no conviction has occurred. It'd be an interesting test case of the NRL's right to enforce its code of conduct. I hope he doesn't take that stance, just as I hope nobody ever tries to challenge the salary cap in court....in both cases they'd probably win and that would only be bad for the NRL itself. [/QUOTE]
