Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 3104711, member: 8275"] If it ends up in court, as it might because it did with DeBelin, the NRL will need to show at least, that they acted fairly in accordance with their rules. Giving them that reason on a platter is never going to be a successful strategy, in my opinion. But there are two aspects here, one is his guilt or otherwise for his criminal charges, then there is how the NRL perceives his behaviour. The NRL sacked Todd Carney and he did not break any criminal law in the incidents that led to his sacking, so Scott may not be in a winnable position anyway. But if he is ‘not really’ at fault in that camera footage in criminal terms, the NRL could still decide it doesn’t meet their behavioural standards anyway and sack him, as they did with Carney. He is possibly damned either way, but as I said earlier, I’d be damned if I’d hand over potentially incriminating evidence willingly, just because someone wants it as it makes their job easier...
