Pretty shit how they sacked him and he probably has a better chance that Hasler.

I didn't like the guy as a ref but there are far worse than him.

Hope he wins the case with a payout (not reinstatement) and then blows the doors off potential matchfixing and other questions about refs behaviour in the NRL.

Fuck him his a ref

Your right there's always a reason, but doesn't mean that reason is right or even legal.... that's the difference

Maybe sacked for not playing the betting partners games.

I agree.
But that’s not what they are saying.

the code of conduct policy is set up with hundreds of sections that all employees need to abide by.

It's meant to protect staff from unfair practises but it's very handy tool to get rid of someone too.

Like one of the HR ladies told me once, letting good people go, doesn’t make good business sense.

If you've got a shit **** of a boss or a hormonal woman in charge they'll make it personal

He wasn't even on my radar of shit referees in the NRL?

Unlike Gerrard Sutton and a few others who I believe are genuinely corrupt.

On the unfair dismissal side of things. Sounds like he does have a case.

Wasn't under the impression employees where entitled to a heads up before being sacked...
He would have signed a contract and his time was up.
What's the big deal?
