"While Scott has pleaded not guilty to the charges, sources say Canberra will seriously consider ripping up his three-year contract should he be convicted of assaulting a police officer when he fronts court again on March 20."

Interesting.

Be aware, sometimes these "sources" have been posts on the GH. ;)

I read that this morning too but cant see it now , must have been edited. It was quoted from a source close to the Canberra club.

The scuttlebutt I’ve heard is the club isn’t considering sacking him at all

It's pretty clear he won't be sacked. The club directly arranged decent legal representation for him, after the first bloke tactfully labelled the NRL as an organisation full of "egotistical lunatics". Real clever thing to say while a punishment is being considered.

Anyway, I read that quote too and it didn't surprise me at all. I'm pretty sure he would have been told in no uncertain terms that this little escapade is a one-off and won't be happening again while he's at the club. I'm also sure the club is working with the band of ''egotistical lunatics'' to ensure the NRL knows that the club is properly managing the situation.

Regardless of club allegiance, I am 100% not comfortable with the fact that the police changed the story to lay the seventh charge. That is really really bad. If they're willing to change the story for one thing, what else are they willing to change the story for?

Agree, there are some worried cops right now

They thought he was just some young drunk and played tough guy, now they know they are in trouble

I said something along those lines a few weeks ago. I feel the cops have got caught out mishandling a drunk which would have gone unnoticed had it been a Joe Average but someone In the public eye is a different story.

Totally agree Raidersteve,
Curtis looks just like a thousand other young guys out drinking, cops have had a long night and over did it with him

Cops have then realised who he was and have been trying to cover their butts ever since

Its not like he is easily identified like papa, bj or even Jack

How will they cover it up if they have a video recording of the incident? It’s a worrying sign that they are adding charges.
He will get 6 to 8 weeks from the NRL and stuff our season around unnecessarily. Guys a clown.

He will cop a punishment for the NRL for being an idiot.

As for the extra charges I suspect that it might be a reflection of my previous thoughts in that the cops were heavy handed and have been caught out. Now they might be trying cover their backsides by making it appear worse than it originally was being a drunk falling asleep in a public park and throwing a mobile phone in order to justify the actions they took.

Maybe they know that the serious charge of assaulting an officer won't stick and they want at least a couple of charges that will stick..

Missing footage, malfunctioning equipment, covered camera etc etc

So...anyone else now thinking Greenberg is going to wait until right before the first game to tell us if he's suspended?

This has been dragging on for weeks, and it's only two weeks away from game 1. We need to know if he's playing or not so we can sort out our combinations.

Whoever loses if it goes to trial will lose big. Should be a doozy if neither side is prepared to give.

DeBelin's trial will get plenty of coverage and the fallout from that is going to be huge as well.

If Todd has legitmately been too busy to see the footage then sort it the **** **** out... that's literally your job. If yoy can figure that out, step down, you're not fit for the station you hold

Maybe NRL HQ has adopted a more measured approach after they got the Dylan Walker one wrong.
It also looks like our club is pushing for a decision by naming him this weekend.

Id be pushing for a decision from the NRL too, we'll get more favuourable treatment now when the verdict is is unknown.
I think Toddy is going to have to make a call re the NFSD policy on Scott before the season. And the club and player is happy to play the string out

Toddy will wait till the last minute to see how things are trending, he's an image guy. He doesnt want to look like he's **** up

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Face-to-face talks to decide if Canberra Raiders new recruit Curtis Scott can play Round 1

The Daily Telegraph reports that Curtis Scott’s lawyer Sam Macedone will meet Todd Greenberg on Friday, with Macedone “without a doubt” believing the video evidence shows Scott should not be stood down by the NRL. Greenberg has reportedly asked to view further security vision taken from the Sydney Cricket Ground and some taken from a taxi.

There is also speculation that the charges that originally included claims that Scott had punched and kicked at an officer could also change, with Macedone reportedly making representations to police.

They didn't get the Dylan Walker one wrong. Everyone knows he did it, I'd be more interested to know how he threatened her to get her to recant. He's off on a technicality.

But I do think this one has more to it. It's clearly not straightforward at all. But I'm getting really quite mad at Greenberg. All that song and dance about demanding the footage by certain times, and now he "hasn't had time". That's ridiculous.

But FOI releases indicate they do? The ABC is one of the few news media organisations with journalistic standards who can trusted to actually report facts. I could understand if the criticism was of News Corp media outlets... including Sky News.

Here’s another couple of reports from other news organisations: https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/nsw ... 53zmv.html

I had never heard of this practice before reading this thread... but I find it disturbing.
