RUMOUR Jayden Nikorima to the Broncos

[broncos4life]

Well what happened?

 

[pagey]

The suspense??

 

[Unbreakable]

He supposedly tried to convince a friend of his to tell the NRL integrity unit that he spiked Jayden's drink with MDMA, so that Jayden didn't get banned for it. Or something along those lines.

Dear oh dear.

Sensational claims of drink-spiking and a falsified statutory declaration have emerged from beneath Jayden Nikorima’s drugs suspension. The former Sydney Roosters player is currently serving a 12-match ban after returning his second positive in-house test to a banned recreational drug. But as revealed by 7 News tonight, the story behind Nikorima’s suspension is more salacious than the breach itself.
7 News obtained a statutory declaration from a member of the Wyong Roos - the Roosters’ feeder club – which confesses to spiking Nikorima’s drink during last September’s Mad Monday celebrations. Roos halfback Brad Keighran signed the legal document, which stated that he put MDMA in Nikorima’s drink as a “practical joke”. According to the stat dec, the incident occurred at the Central Coast home of another player while the Roos drowned their sorrows following their Intrust Super Premiership grand final defeat to the Panthers. Nikorima returned a positive test later that week and was informed of the result in October. Being his second breach, he faced an automatic 12-match ban and possible termination from the Roosters.
7 News has also obtained a message from Nikorima, which was sent shortly after he was informed about the positive test. In the message Nikorima claims he never took MDMA and offers to “pay up” in exchange for another party to “say they spiked me”. “I don’t wanna get sacked over something I didn’t do,” the text reads.
When approached for comment Keighran said the stat dec was drafted by another party and mostly false. He admitted to signing to help his mate. Keighran signed the stat dec on 7 November last year. Nikorima planned to use it in his case before the NRL Appeals Tribunal, which needed to be satisfied of “exceptional circumstances” to overturn his ban.
But when Nikorima fronted in December, the tribunal wanted Keighran to be questioned in person as well. Nikorima’s team was unable to contact Keighran – and the appeal was dismissed. He was duly banned and sacked by the Roosters, forfeiting a contract worth $350,000. He is now training with Broncos feeder side Redcliffe in the hope of an NRL comeback once his ban ends midway through this season. Comment is being sought from Nikorima and his agent, Isaac Moses.

Reflects terribly on Jayden. That he would try and get someone else to take the fall for his idiocy by paying them. Has really poor judgment this guy.

 

[Alec]

Spiking his drink seems like a really Roosters thing to do though.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Already seen posts trying to shame the Broncos.

He could be just a kid who fucked up and tried to cheat the system to get off. Or he could genuinely have been set up, not knowingly taken the drugs, and was desperate to not lose his career. If he truly didn’t take it himself, you could understand why he’d be desperate - after all, in his mind, someone spiked his drink.

Problem was this was his second incident...

Must be the unluckiest or most careless guy in the world to get his drink spiked twice...

Or there is a different more logical answer...

So he's a liar and he tried to cheat the system. **** him off, he can go lay bricks for the rest of his life.

I'll give you that. Except I don't recall him ever claiming the first time he was innocent as well. Yes, he has form. But so does a certain club.

Nikorima continues to be the victim of terrible luck- drink driving fined $900 and suspended from driving for 6 months.

I blame the Roosters- they must have made him.

Doubt he will be back in round 14 now.

He's shaping up as another wasted talent which would be a shame.

Not so sure driving when you are over the limit is terrible luck.

I would probably hit the bottle if I fucked up a 400k/yr contract too.

Now it's Redcliffe's fault. Why are all these clubs victimizing this poor little bastard? Someone must have switched the breath samples.

Someone must have switched the breath samples.

So you're saying it's Todd Carney's fault then
