Lewis to be kicked out of the game by NRL
Ben Glover 4 hrs ago

Out-of-contract Bulldogs halfback Lachlan Lewis will be fined and told there is no guarantee he will have his next NRL contract registered when he is sanctioned for allegedly stealing club property and attempting to sell it on Ebay.

Lewis is the subject of an Integrity Unit investigation over the matter, with the NRL expected to hand down its findings today. The 25-year-old nephew of rugby league Immortal Wally Lewis was not offered a new deal by the Bulldogs, with his current contract expiring at the end of this season.

He has played 43 games for the club over four seasons but was never able to secure his place in the team.The bizarre Lewis saga coupled with Adam Elliott's toilet tryst with NRLW star has given an unsavoury ending to another forgettable season for Canterbury, with the wooden spoon for finishing last confirmed weeks ago.

While it is now a certainty that Lewis will not pull on the blue and white jersey next season and beyond, the Bulldogs are still yet to make a decision on Elliott, who is one of the club's best forwards and has two years left to run on his current deal.

Elliott was fined $10,000 by the NRL for his behaviour at the restaurant and was stood down by the Bulldogs for the rest of the season after the incident came to light. However, it's his history of alcohol related off-field indiscretions that has Elliott walking a tightrope to save his career.

According to a report in The Sydney Morning Herald, Elliott is prepared to sign off on a clause in his contract banning him from drinking alcohol in a bid to stop the board from sacking him. Elliott had not touched alcohol in seven months before letting hair down two weekends ago for a night out on the Glitter Strip.

While the grim end to the season has crushed Bulldogs supporters, there is a sense of hope that the club will begin to rise again next season, with a number of high profile recruits, headlined by Matt Burton and Josh Addo-Carr, arriving to kick off a new dawn at Belmore.

The Bulldogs earlier this week sent out a statement with a list of players who will not earn new deals, drawing a line under a miserable period for the club since Des Hasler took them to grand finals in 2012 and 2014, only to be sacked in 2017.

After half a decade in the cellar, 2022 can't come soon enough.

 

[Demps]

Yeah, what a disgusting crime.
He should never be allowed to play again.

Are they kidding ?
Allow Matt Lodge and Packer types to play....

Clickbait.

I'd say he is unlikely to get a deal because no one rates him.
Super league a possibility though.

Good luck to the guy.

 

[mike]

It’s absolutely bizarre, first that he stole the items, second that he didn’t think someone would notice the eBay auctions. Certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Over reaction as usual .. he is already living with the title of a grub and thief ! A good fine and if he can sign on elsewhere good luck k to him .

Imagine not being wanted by the dogs

In fairness to Packer he did his stint in jail for his crime. Lodge got off pretty much scot-free. Not to mention grubs like GI, Sam Burgess, Dylan Walker, Anthony Cherrington etc were still allowed by the NRL to play the game. If he was a star he wouldn't be treated like this....it'd be a quick stint in "rehab", a bit of counselling, a forced apology and 'YOU'RE GOOD TO GO CHAMP!'

So we have welcomed back drink drivers, wife beaters, players who have beaten people to within an inch of their life, serial drug users, PED cheats, players who stalked women, threatened to kill and invaded homes.

But a guy who stole some club gear gets rubbed out? Righto. The guy was going to be let go by the wooden spooners, adding to the theft he would not have got a gig elsewhere anyway.

There are lots of players not wanted by the dogs.all the ones they have signed for far too many dollars and delivered very little.
The crazy part is that they are doing the exact same again for next season.

What a clever and entertaining video.
I went straight to Spotify and added the song to my collection.

It gets even worse, imagine the worst crame of them all: being a Christian (e.g. Falau)?
To paraphrase that blues song "Black, brown and white"
"if you was a wife molester, should be all right,
if you was serial drug user - just stick around,
but as you a Christian - oh brother, get back, get back"!:thinking_face:

Yeah that would all be very interesting, except he wasn't banned for his religion, he was banned for being a bigot in public and for his intention to continue to be a bigot in public.

As for Lewis, it seems like the same sort of punishment as for Simona and I doubt it's a lifetime ban (just like Simona's wasn't). Kick 'em out and let them earn their way back in with improved behaviour.

Simona was stealing from charities and betting against himself. That's a whole next level from what Lewis did.

Folau couldn't keep his mouth shut. The game deemed him a risk and didn't allow him to return. But I do agree being a loudmouth bigot isn't nearly on the same page as what the others have done.

Elliot should consider chemical castration. Most of the trouble he has found himself in seems to stem from his little head.

Don't worry Clive Palmer will have Folau and Lewis teamed up at the Southport Tigers ...you watch .....
