CANTERBURY have replied to the NRL’s record breach notice in the hope that part of the $250,000 fine will be reduced following their mad Monday celebrations.

It is understood the Bulldogs have written a detailed submission in response to the breach notice served to them by the NRL this month. They had until Thursday to reply.

The Bulldogs clarified elements of the NRL’s allegations and have given their version of events which led to two players being charged by police.

NRL boss Todd Greenberg will now read through the submission before deciding if part of the Bulldogs fine is either reduced or suspended.

Bulldogs chief executive Andrew Hill said he was “disappointed at the severity of the fine” during a press conference last week.

A host of Bulldogs staff members who were present during the celebrations are also expected to come under scrutiny by the club.

The club hit four players with $60,000 worth of fines. They were Adam Elliott, Asipeli Fine (both $25,000 with $10,000 suspended), Zac Woolford and Marcelo Montoya (both $10,000 with $5000 suspended).

Long-term sponsor Jaycar also walked out on the Bulldogs, costing them $500,000.

I'll bet Jaycar used it as a catalyst to get out of sponsorship. We may have a couple of lean seasons ahead and retail is not as lucrative as it was before unless you sell online.

Well Buzz got one thing right, Richest club in the league. Hence why I don't understand why the NRL fuck with us so much, you would think they would want us to prosper seeing as we are a huge asset to them. Rich club with loyal & passionate fans.
That’s exactly why they hate us.

Good question.
The club already knee jerked and fined the players.

The real issue is big.
Role of media and in this case when is media invading people's private time and manufacturing incident for profit.
I'm of the opinion they had no right to be there and no rightness in publishing that crap.

But the influence News limited has on the game is huge so its a done deal.
Crazy thing is that the Police who are meant to enforce the law overlook how the photos were obtained and charged the victims for an offence. Let's remember that there were no complaints at all received nor any from the owner. Just craziness, let's lawyer up!

Club investigates after ‘funny’ chat on FaceTime turned explicit

THE Rabbitohs are investigating a young woman’s claims that a Facebook video chat with several high-profile players turned lewd without her consent — with two stars exposing their private parts.

A club spokesman yesterday confirmed the 23-year-old sent an email the day after the May 26 incident, revealing how a “funny” FaceTime chat “with the group of boys” turned explicit and left her “violated and disgusted”.

The players had been celebrating the team’s win in Auckland against the Warriors. In screenshots taken by the girl and seen by The Daily Telegraph, one of the players pulls his pants down to show off his genitals while in another a player bares his backside to the woman.

The woman made contact with one of the players through Instagram.

She says phone records show one player repeatedly called her, even after she had made it clear she wanted to be left alone.

Several of the club’s biggest names are involved in the videochat. The Daily Telegraph has chosen not to name the players or publish the screenshots.

The woman contacted The Daily Telegraph after she said repeated follow-up emails to the club demanding action had gone unanswered.

After questions from The Daily Telegraph, a Rabbitohs spokesman confirmed that the woman’s initial email was received by the club’s football operations manager Brock Schafer on June 1.

In that email, seen by The Daily Telegraph, Mr Schafer assures the woman the matter was being taken “seriously” and the club “will work to understand what has occurred”. However subsequent emails from the woman on June 5 and August 31 were never responded to.

“I feel quite disappointed that my email has not been responded too (sic) since a few months ago,” she wrote in August.

“I find it disgusting how these boys think they can get away with this crap.”

A spokesman said the club had late yesterday hired an “independent contractor” to trawl through emails to verify if the woman had sent follow-up emails. He said this contractor could “confirm” that these emails were not answered because they “were tagged as spam”.

“As per the system junk email policy these emails were subsequently routed to a junk mail folder,” he said.

The club would not answer detailed questions from The Daily Telegraph about the claims of player misbehaviour.

South Sydney Rabbitohs chief executive Blake Solly last night said that now it had been proven that the woman had repeatedly “tried to reach out” they would make contact with her today.

“We are proud of our position on the Code of Conduct and if someone has breached that we want to investigate it,” he said. “Now we have more information we can speak to the players in the morning (today).”

I love how these parasites can choose not to name the players or publish the screenshots in this case!

So they were all on a club sanctioned event (trip to Auckland) and did this? Wasn’t that Greenbergs biggest whinge against the ‘Dogs. This bald fraud has dug himself a hole now.

Does this mean the $60000 fine the players copped comes off our salary cap.

So no players named and no screenshots published. What a f###ing surprise! We know what would have happened were it our club.

Telegraph obviously worried about legal repercussions .... players at a club supervised event, players allegedly wilfully expose themselves, only difference is this one generated a complaint from a member of the public. Why the hell will our club or players not make a complant to police or commence legal proceedings against Telecrap. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

It wouldn't be democratic if you couldn't appeal it.
Appeal everything.

Time for the Bulldogs to send a simple letter in addition to our response:

Dear Mr Greenberg. We wait with interest to understand whether the same standard will be applied to the South Sydney Rabbitohs in particular the damage this has caused the game by a team which is actively competing in the finals.

We look forward to your reply

Fuck the NRL don’t pay shit, let them take it from the grant and we should refuse to pay any future fines.
Let’s see how much Souths get hit with if the current allegations are true
