RUMOUR Pending Broncos Investigation

[kingpest]

I'm guessing you didn't read the rules about speculation.

 

[kingpest]

Gee guess I bloody didn't

 

[noisetheory]

Parker seems to have no concerns. I'm feeling pretty good the broncos have no problems in this whole thing


“What names are they?” Parker said after being asked how he felt about names being speculated.
“You keep talking about five names floating around but you can’t give me one.
“It is rumour and innuendo and until such time as those five names are specified or those people are tapped on the shoulder there is nothing else for me to say.
“They are just rumours and until such time as something else ... that’s all I have for you.
“Society in general has those hiccups but we are about to start round one and there were three brilliant games in England.
“Our main focus is round one. It is all innuendo and rumours.”

 

[Porthoz]

I don't think Parker could say anything else to be honest. And he is absolutely right, it's all innuendo and speculation based on theories from people who probably have absolutely no actual information.

As much as I think the QCCC is dangling a bait with the naming of the players, for what probably was nothing more than recreational use at a party or two, I doubt they would be feeding information to anyone that could thwart their efforts to catch more and bigger fish in the net.

Good on Parker for giving it to the journos. If they want comments on it, name the players they are alleging and you will get a comment. A two bit fucking newspaper entry from the smh with roy masters named attached to it has started all of this. If I was Brisbane I would be calling the smh to give us a please explain or legal action will be pursued over baseless allegations. Brisbane should come out with their own article saying its alleged that up to 5 smh journos are involved in a cocaine traffic ring inside sources say. Lets see how they like it

You'll probably find the Broncos are doing all the legal stuff behind the scenes but as always are remaining professional and calm on the surface.

Despite a big name to be named, and further talk of club identities, we've yet to see anything of substance actually reported.

That would seem to suggest we've lawyered up, and that the media know publishing unsubstantiated gossip would be unwise.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

This is just more evidence of the mainstream media trying to get in before social media. All they can do is jump at shadows and hope there is something actually there casting it.

I hope that if the Broncos are proven to has nothing to worry about, they call the SMH and tell it to print a sincere apology and admit they made it up on the back page or legal action for defamation will be taken.

**** asking for a retraction. Sue them into the ground.

These type of stories get printed on the front page ... Retractions are generally buried at the bottom corner of page 30

Word around the Brisbane legal community is that some wallabies next in the crosshairs of this investigation....

 

[Brent81]

And don't ask who because I don't have that information....

It won't matter. At the end of the day rugby league will cop the biggest blame and the most shit because soccer, union and AFL supporters have to try bring down other sports to make theirs look better because their sports are crap compared to rugby league.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Grubby journo tactic is to hound immortal Billy Bloggs. Ask him to comment and if Billy says, "I'm innocent" or something, the headline the next day is, "Billy Bloggs denies taking cocaine!"

Apparently this was was tried yesterday.

 

[heartly87]

I doubt anyone is going to get the boot for this. This is another stitch up by the media. From what I know about the law, these guys may be being charged with supply charges but they will get off. The only way to prove supply is with video, photo or as you would say evidence. Have they been found with drugs on them, photographed ect. so best they have is conspiracy to supply and buy illegal drugs. meh this will blow over I think.

We don't know what evidence they have, ATM neither do the players.

They should find out when they face court next week.

Yep. Us League fans would never bag out soccer, AFL or union. Ever.
