Should Mam be sacked?

[BroncosFever]

I really don't get why it takes so long to get the blood test results back.

I get blood tests. My doc has them within 48-72 hrs.

?

I think it depends what they're looking for.

I recently had a blood test looking for all sorts of things and it took a good couple of weeks before I got my results. I have also had them in the past and it's a 1-2 day thing so I get what you are saying.

How surprising this experiment will start and end with us.

The SMH are reporting that the NRL is planning to overhaul it's sanctioning system (off-field incidents) by outsourcing decisions to an independent legal representative.

...

according to the SMH, Mam could be the first case under the new system

But of course he is...

Beat me to it, fucking LOL. Yet again, if it comes to pass, we're the fucking crash test dummy.

Go **** yourself NRL.

You just know that the "independent" system will still add a Broncos loading to every punishment, while Panthers and Roosters players will be get special treatment "for the fans".

The SMH are reporting that the NRL is planning to overhaul it's sanctioning system (off-field incidents) by outsourcing decisions to an independent legal representative.

The NRL is in the process of trying to finalise the new system before next season. The legal eagle will investigate allegations, make findings and then propose any punishment based on the in-house sanctioning matrix currently used by the integrity unit. Head office would be at arm’s length from player punishments.

Sounds like the NRL trying to reduce their own liability for disputes around decisions

Seems a strange thing for the sport's governing body to do, outsource the governing.

It's the biggest boys club in Australian sport, so removing that conflict that's across the entire organisation can only be good.

Ordinarily yes but this sports governing body SUCKS at governing.

When they still set and recommend the punishment...read the whole story...BS. just a deflection of decision making

Means they have more time to concentrate on maximising the revenue from gambling.

That's the Integrity Unit now- King is even a lawyer.

Any punishment Ezra gets he absolutely earned. Sure there is many factors that contributed to his downfall in 2024 but that is still all on him. Disappointing for his management group and our player welfare team that they haven't managed to help him before it all went tits up.

 

[BRC088]

Not a lawyer, obviously, but don't think a law can be made up after the offence and get charged with it. Law only applies at the time of the offence.

If anyone else did this, any civilian or whoever, you'd want to see them behind bars.

People could have been killed here.

Probably right. I certainly won't be jumping up and down if that is what the courts decide.

Problem is though, it won't. How will said 'third party' representative be employed by the NRL (permanent position, contract, retainer?) and by whom inside the organisation? Of course there won't be any pressure applied by the NRL by, say, quietly threatening their contract won't be renewed if they don't toe the line...that doesn't sound like something the NRL would do at all...

Call me cynical but the conflict will still be there. Just perhaps in concentrated form, which may arguably be worse in some situations.

If the administration can't effectively administrate the game, why do they exist? Fucking amateur hour all around, that joint. And yeah, boys club for the ages.

I think it'll be useless like everything else they do. But this one is worth trying given how useless the MRC are.

Some people don’t want help they’d rather blame anything and everyone other than themselves
