News Okunbor Appeal Date Set

[David holland]

Shouldn't of been disregistered, so you can't blame canterbury

 

[Moedogg]

If Pearce, Fergo,Lodge, Packer are playing then there's hope for him..

 

[Papa Emeritus]

Fuck Okunbur, CHN should be back in our squad though.

 

[dogwhisperer]

I'd rather Elliott any day of the week. Sign Bateman and CHN will not be missed after this year imo.

I must say Elliot has improved a lot

Cos he is better?

 

[bradyk]

Hopefully we re-sign him and he doesn't become Finucane 2.0.

Strangely enough most do in contract renewal years for some reason.

funny that

Of course. Why else?

 

[JAYDOG]

I think we should look to at least! Try getting CHN back.Gun player & Its not like we actually gained a Major Sponsor by sacking them..

 

[coach]

So how do other clubs get to benefit....
This is where the nrl is fucked up

 

[Dognacious]

It's pretty clear from the info we've been provided that both scenarios are quite different. In Okunburs case there was clear evidence of messages leading to a sense of grooming... CHN just broke a the 'hotel' rule and wasnt set up on a school visit.

They weren't done for "grooming". They were done for having girls (any girls) in the hotel room while on NRL business. And they both did that

If you believe that then I guess I cant change that view. The photos at the school and messages paint a clear picture for Okunburs case imo.

 

[JackDog]

Did the club sack them after they were de-registered? Did they sack them because they were de-registered? There’s no way the club could keep them on contract if they had no NRL registration

I know they broke team rules, but if the NRL didn’t wipe them, would the club have kept them on with a long stand down period.

No need to believe it, it is what happened. You can't give chn different treatment just because he's a better player, which is what some ppl seem to be calling for. They either both get done, or both get off imo.

It’s a massive grey area the Dogs put out statement after the deregistration saying as a result of the deregistration their contracts were terminated. I’m not sure what happens if they win the appeal do their contracts get reinstated? There’s probably so much more to it then that though.

They seem to indicate their sacking was as a result of deregistration, but then proceed to go on for paragraphs agreeing with the nrl and the punishment.

I’m sure the club will do whatever needs to be done to protect the club image regardless of the players

I disagree. The NRL would have no grounds whatsoever to deregister them based on club standards. So it had to be the acts of what they did.

Club business = NRL business. Don't get me wrong either, i dont think either player should have been deregistered .

None of them played for the dogs, the most hated club in the nrlol
