I personally think it shouldn't exist and I believe in innocent until proven guilty but players should also do a better job at not putting themselves in dumb situations like this (e.g. being somewhere they shouldn't be, stabbing someone, cheating on your wife, etc.)
This is certainly an ugly position to be on from the NRL's perspective. This was all the brainchild of Greenberg and his mate Peter Beattie.
This all came about due to sponsors and female supporters being up in arms with players being hit with charges of assault (and the like) on other women. So they came up with this brilliant idea where if you are charged with something where the maximum penalty is 11 years + in gaol, then you're automatically stood down.
I am also a very big proponent of innocent until proven guilty, but I can see what the NRL are trying to achieve. It is just a sad state of affairs.
As for Fainu, if COVID did not happen, he would probably be playing now (if he was found innocent of course). I do not believe the NRL can change their position, especially after what happened to JDB, and how long that dragged out for.
