The Broncos are set to announce two new sponsors for the club. Oates which is a company that sells cleaning equipment, including brooms and Carpet Court. the club says it is a great deal as they will be able to sweep all their player "indiscretions" under the carpet a lot more easily. The NRL are looking at the deal as well to see if they can get in on the deal.

Well, the face of Carpet Court is a Court Jester, so it makes sense...

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree. His old man got locked up for 3 months today for a string of offences.

Moral of the story is you can be violent, anti social, a drunk, a woman basher, a rapist, an attempted murderer, and there will always be a place for you in this that is the greatest game of all.

but put up a screen grab of who will burn in hell :p and just so happen to mention homosexuals and you are done from ever being allowed on a football field again.

Looks like carpet court swept this one under the rug.
In all seriousness though, the NRL integrity unit said the evidence was inconclusive. It looks like the broncos did an Andrew Gee again although I wouldn’t trust many in Bali, especially cops and security guards, particularly when someone high profile (can pay a big bribe /settlement)

It’s back to the future where the broncos manage to have 7-8 origin standard players in their squad and miraculously remain cap compliant- meanwhile we remain under cap pressure with the hope of signing a marquee player next season.
The cover up continues!

‘How do you come up with this s***?’ Fans blast NRL over Fifita’s non-sanction

Outraged rugby league fans have claimed the NRL lacks consistency over David Fifita being cleared after a fracas in Bali.
Some went even further, saying the Brisbane Broncos covered up the incident after the young forward landed himself in jail.

The Queensland Origin representative, 19, was arrested for allegedly assaulting a bouncer in Bali last month.

The forward spent 72 hours in prison before around $30,000 was paid to his victim and he was released after the arrival of Broncos staffer Adam Walsh in the country.

The Broncos and Fifita have maintained that the boom forward paid it out of his own pocket.

After a lengthy investigation, the NRL’s CEO Todd Greenberg said they would not hand down a sanction to Fifita.
“It is important that our determinations are based on the evidence before us,” Greenberg said.

“In this case, after analysing a multitude of evidence we cannot say with certainty that a breach has occurred.”

The Broncos, who sat Payne Haas out for four games in the early part of the season due to him refusing to assist with an Integrity Unit probe, have yet to hand down any punishment, either.

But fans have called foul social media over the lack of sanction.
Many pointed to a similar incident with the Storm prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona that saw the Kiwi international fined and miss three Tests.

One wrote: “ What an absolute farce the NRL are! They suspend Nelson A Soloma for defending a teammate but find that David Fifita who has no case to answer.

“I won’t even bring up Mitchell. Pearce’s [sic] punishment.

“You’re [sic] a joke Greenberg! Please resign.”

Another supporter posted: “How the hell does David Fifita have no case to answer for being arrested in Bali. The only reason he’s not still there is because he bought his way out.

“Todd Greenberg how do you come up with this s***?”
While one added: “The NRL have completely lost all credibility after this decision.

“The NRL will take no action against David Fifita over his Bali jail stint. He went to jail. Nelson Asofa Solomona protects a mate and doesn’t get arrested. But gets band from playing for NZ.”
Others called out the Broncos, with one fan writing: “We conducted our own internal review and sweep sweep sweep nothing [sic] to see here … now as you were.”

Another said: “Broncos are a protected species.”

While one added: “The longer it dragged on the more this was going to happen. What a joke, right up there with a ring for Barb! Toddy strikes again.”

Yep and its why i will stop supporting rugby league untill greenburg is sacked.
There is blatant cheating going on.
Greenbug has to be sacked to save the game.

We need a save rugby league thread by chopping the head off the snake.
He has ruined my love and passion for my sport. Not his sport he didnt play footy.
We have a pen pushing marbles boy destroying our great game and everyone is letting it happen.

This just reinforces the power and influence these favoured clubs have.

Stuff up if you are a Souths, Sharks, Broncs, Melb or Rorter player and no need to worry about consequences.

Play for the rest...get the book thrown at you.

Just one more reason why Todd's favs have the upper hand with all signings. Player Managers, players and the public all know this comp is rigged and uneven.
