Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 3173966, member: 8275"] Depends on the media aspects of course, but legally, Siebold has 2/5ths of f*ckall. He can try defamation but it’s not as easy as made out and if you accuse someone of defaming you, you have to go to a court and prove they did. They don’t have to do jack sh*t. NSW Police will look at this, laugh and then move on to actual criminal investigations. The Integrity Unit will consider this for a bit before it is filed, most likely as a non-NRL matter and Pies will then have to pursue it out of his own pocket if he wants to have a crack civilly, to achieve what? There are no pecuniary damages (in Qld at least) for defamation, so the only ‘hip pocket’ he’ll be hurting is his own, unless he can show a major loss of income as a result of the alleged defamation he has suffered... Speculative invoicing is also given short shrift by courts in Australia, and given he just got a million / multi-million plus golden handshake, I think it will be difficult for him to prove any major loss of earnings...
