Rabbitohs statement on Kirisome Auva'a

South Sydney Rabbitohs

The South Sydney Rabbitohs are aware of an NRL notice of contravention that has been issued to player Kirisome Auva'a following a second breach of the NRL's Testing Policy for illicit and hazardous substances. Auva'a did not return a positive test for an illicit or hazardous substance, but contravened the rules as set out in the NRL Policy.

The player had until 4pm today (Wednesday) to lodge an appeal. Neither Auva'a nor his representatives have chosen to do so.

The Rabbitohs will be following a process; in conjunction with the NRL, RLPA and the player; regarding possible sanctions, rehabilitation and support. This will be discussed at a Football Club Board meeting next week.

A second breach notice, that is a concern.

Refused a test?

That's a strange thing to get changed with…"illicit or hazardous substance"
Maybe he was just doing some Welding near petrol?

If this was the AFL, by their policy we wouldn't even be aware of the "offence"

Certainly what it sounds like.

Haha, yeah the good ol' AFL with their hardcore "20 strikes and you're out….maybe" rule. They are as soft as baby poo when it comes to handing out punishments. At least the NRL show a bit more gumption towards idiots in the game, but still not enough ie: domestic violence offenders like Inglis, Bird, Lui, Auv'ua etc.

Auvu'a is a O2 waster.

Man - Souths " the pride of the league " and Parra " rugby league is strong when Parra are strong" are both doing their best to keep up the high standards of the NRL.

And in the meantime Garry Jack is not welcome at his Son's 200th game in AFL!, HOPE THIS GET'S GREAT Press in Melbourne!.

 

[WestsSupporter]

The NRL need to rub grubs like Auva'a out of the game until they can show they've done work towards reforming their character. Things such as helping out women's refuges or even promoting (demoting?) domestic violence towards spouses.

It is a great shame that ringworms like Avua'a have got a premiership ring and ornaments to the game like Wayne Pearce never got the honour and satisfaction of winning a premiership.
