Club Statement: Tesi Niu

[Foordy]

Well the 2 drink drivers at Canberra have gotten slaps on the wrist. Suspect Niu to not miss any games.

1 and 2 match suspension for the raiders.

so what does that equate to ... a 6 week suspension for Niu?

 

[broncsgoat]

Sounds fairly steep when allowing for the time difference although you did have multiple offences.

$800 was all the money in the world back then to me as well.

I once tried to bribe a border guard on the Serbian Hungarian border when that area was under sanctions, I was told that would work by my Russian colleague, but got thrown off the train, that was a little dicey.

Otherwise the worst I have done is rack up a few speeding points on the license, I need to up my RL supporter game.

Ha, did similar in the Eighties when it was Communist. Got locked up for a day, then handed a visa and released when the guard changed. No explanation.

The NRL issued Canberra breach notices for Harawira-Naera and Horsburgh.

Harawira-Naera - 2 week suspension, $10,000 fine
Horsburgh - 1 week suspension, $5,000 fine

That seems very lenient to me, especially in light of Ofahengaue's two week suspension which wasn't for high range drink driving but simply being in charge of a motor vehicle while over the blood alcohol level.

I would have doubled both punishments.

What about a public flogging, maybe cutting off a couple of fingers?

That punishment is reserved for truly serious crimes like talking about wanting to go to another club while under contract and getting in trouble while playing for the Broncos.

 

[Jason Simmons]

For those complaining its not serious. The fallout if he was to have been involved in an accident:

• No third party health and medical insurance to the other injured party
• No property coverage
• Negligence claim
• Criminal conviction if at fault

The damages are actually quite huge if something went wrong.

CPT in Qld would still cover the third party in that scenario, as well as incidental property damage.

Never knew this! You guys in QLD get a good deal

 

[Old Mate]

Compared to Joe O that is a pretty light punishment.

Nanny states have their perks as much as their downsides.

It's a bullshit punishment.

CHN was mid-high range behind the wheel on xmas day.... He should've copped a minimum 4 weeks.

In comparison Niu should cop a $100, but watch the NRL make an example out of him.

Thank **** he didn't get a parking fine as well... could see Vlando and the integrity mafia muscling their way into that situation as well

The only way the third party wouldn’t be covered is if they were unregistered or unlicenced too...
