More bad behaviour

Surely you don't get to play again if you refuse to comply with the integrity unit.
 
He plays for Broncos so different rules apply.Rule 475 subsection 3 paragraph 2 "Broncos can do whatever they like with zero consequences"
 
x2 games + $10k fine for not being compliant with the Integrity Unit is a bit of a laugh. He's basically told them to kick rocks; he doesn't wan't to answer any of their questions.
Credit to the Broncos for keeping both incidents tight lipped until now & standing him down though, very clever. It could potentially open up a can of worms if players/or even clubs chose to stop cooperating with the IU in favor of x2 game suspension + 10k fine.
 
What a joke the NRL are. They actually approved this without any investigation. Thats twice now the Broncos have just snubbed their noses at the NRL and refused to co-operate. And their punishment - nothing!!
 
Not surprised at all with this story and the club involved. If the NRL were serious about cleaning up its image they should ban Haas from playing and increase his fine until he co-operates. Where does this type of situation end? Can a player be on performance enhancing drugs and just refuse to give a sample and cop a 4 week ban?
 
Good on you Toddy - nice touch issuing a fine of 10k.

Only thing you forgot was to write Haas a reference.

One rule for the Donkeys and …......
 
I think the NRL should not just endorse the Broncos sanction but apply their own- not allowed to play for the entire season until integrity unit gets full cooperation and satisfactory statements.
