Exactly Gangers. The NRL doesn't owe us anything in this situation.
Some posters on here (not mentioning any names) are quick to lay the boot into other teams players when they've done the wrong thing, but then treat our own players like victims after they have misbehaved.

Re: Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott decision not expected before next week
Yeah, nah. Curtis created this and then hired a **** lawyer full of bluff and bluster. You could argue that that decision has delayed the NRL decision making process.Seiffert82 wrote:I agree in theory - this is on Scott's head - but it's not OK for the NRL to arbitrarily deal with similar matters quickly and then let others drag on for months.gangrenous wrote: ↑February 29, 2020, 9:40 am I’ve got little sympathy when you bring the game into disrepute.

Re: Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott decision not expected before next week
I've been the biggest critic of Scott and his ridiculous Hollywood lawyer from day one. If I was the club I'd be standing him down for a couple of weeks for being a ****, irrespective of the outcome of this legal circus.gergreg wrote: ↑February 29, 2020, 11:23 amYeah, nah.

On a somewhat related topic, I also think the NRL are amateur hour operators when it comes to dealing with this stuff. The "integrity unit" is basically one bloke. The way he handles decisions is based on what side of the bed he wakes up on or whether he's even in the country at the time.
It has always been a bogus process and it's not good enough for a professional sport.
Re: Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott decision not expected before next week
Curtis Scott has brought this on himself, no doubt. I’m not going to complain about any penalty handed out, provided there’s consistency. As for the process... the NRL should be handling this a whole lot better.

Re: Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott decision not expected before next week
This is disingenuous. Of course he shouldn't have put himself in that position in the first place. But the CEO shouldn't be blustering and shouting for the footage by a certain date and then claiming he doesn't have time to watch it. Every other stand-down decision has been made quickly and timely - except this one.gangrenous wrote: ↑February 29, 2020, 9:40 am I’ve got little sympathy when you bring the game into disrepute.

EDIT: And claiming Scott's first lawyer caused the delay is even more so. The delay with getting Greenberg the footage was due to NSW Police, not Scott's lawyer.

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.

Re: Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott decision not expected before next week
Agree. There is definitely stuff going on in the background and Greenburger is waiting for that before making his decision. It could be that he wants to say "no ban", but is holding off as this may upset the Police. So he waits for them to plead it out, rather than p*ssing the cops offkona_dream wrote: ↑February 29, 2020, 8:15 am My complete speculative thoughts are Curtis Scott lawyer is "negotiating" on the charges to see how many can be dropped or changed. Greenberg is waiting to see the outcome of these "negotiations" before deciding to wait for the court case or stand down early.

So you’re saying Greenberg has actively avoided spending less than an hour watching a video and making a decision so he doesn’t piss off the cops?Boomercm wrote:Agree.

Re: Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott decision not expected before next week
I've only been dipping in and out of this thread over the past few weeks, so apologies if it's been discussed, but...
Why the hell does Todd Greenberg even get to see the footage? What grounds does he have? Why is he not like any other employer in Australia?
I'm struggling to understand the reasoning here. What is the law in this instance?

Re: Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott decision not expected before next week
He has no legal right to see it as I understand it. If the defence or prosecution refused to show it to him, he couldn't see it. That was the original problem with him not seeing the vision... he demanded it from the defence lawyer, but the NSW police/prosecutors hadn't agreed to that point.Zip Zip wrote: ↑March 2, 2020, 10:58 am I've only been dipping in and out of this thread over the past few weeks, so apologies if it's been discussed, but...

Re: Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott decision not expected before next week
I suspect he may be waiting as long as possible so as to give the new lawyer the space to try and work some charges dropped/downgraded magic, thus making it an easier decision for him to make. It would be a bit foolish if grunberger came out and banned him, only to have the fuzz drop the most serious charges the next day etc.

There is an article on SMH that says Greenberg has viewed it and discussed it with Macedone. He didnt sound too positive as to Todd's view of the footage.

NRL CEO Todd Greenberg to make call on Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott by end of the week
NRL boss Todd Greenberg will decide by the end of the week whether Raiders recruit Curtis Scott will be subject to the no-fault stand-down rule after meeting with his lawyer Sam Macedone early on Monday.
"We had a very robust discussion, we covered all aspects of the matter and both of us got to have a say. He is a pretty busy man, flying from place to place, I’m hoping by the end of the week we will have an answer. He viewed the footage and I didn’t question his thoughts on it. All I can do to hope now."

NRL boss Todd Greenberg expects to decide on whether he'll stand down Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott in the next couple of days.
"We'll do that in the next few days - as soon as I get out of Brisbane," Greenberg said of the Scott decision. "I committed to come to Brisbane today so I'll deal with that in the next couple of days."

Re: Greenberg to make call on Scott by end of the week
Danny Weidler called it "Very interesting". I think that sounds positive TBH.
I've thought all along, he did it, BUT, police didn't follow protocol, which is why his lawyers were all positive, and almost overconfident.
So, he'll get off, but not because he is innocent per say

Re: Greenberg to make call on Scott by end of the week
Well yes, if the arrest isn't lawful then you actually ARE innocent of "resisting arrest" and "assaulting an officer in the course of their duty" because the "arrest" was just two idiots shoving you about, as unlawful arrests or accosting members of the public randomly and however they choose to are most definitely not police duties.Matt wrote: ↑March 2, 2020, 6:10 pm Danny Weidler called it "Very interesting".

Todd greedburger is the absolute pitts.. how hard is it to watch a video and make a decision.. i appreciate hes busy off flying to the superbowl and stuff, but what, the game is meant to be put on hold until he returns.. is there seriously nonone else in head office who can make a decision in the interests of the game?? if only the ceo is capable of making such a decision, then that says about all you need to know about the quality of the current administration.. bunch of jokers

Re: Greenberg to make call on Scott by end of the week
When the no fault stand down came in it was for acts with a possible sentence of 11yrs plus gaol time, I find it hard to believe Curtis Scott is facing 11+ years behind bars if found guilty.

So Greenberg held off making a call on the scott situation so he could help a team who might one day get a spot in the nrl?
How much do you want to bet he holds off till Thursday when he is in Canberra, the guy has no class
Next time the NRL wants something from us Donny should remind Todd we are very busy too

Re: Greenberg to make call on Scott by end of the week
I think Greenberg is trying to be a little bit like the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell. He is the one that make the calls for off field behaviour and has an NFL commissioner exempt list. The only difference is that Goodell make decisions effectively and quickly. Gathers the required information and then make a call. He even acted within a day when a player ripped the QB helmet off and hit him over the head with it, simply said you are gone for the year.
