Pascoe sanctioned by the NRL

[diedpretty]

I personally think the club should be looking at an injunction against the NRL commencing the season until the matter is heard by them and decision handed down. They have effectively cut us out of the player market and forced us to use an interim CEO which could result in loss of memberships, sponsors, merchandise sales. Pascoe's reputation and integrity has been brought in to question. The club has followed the procedures as laid out by the NRL and then told they will look at it when they feel like it. The only thing that the NRL care about is their TV rights - an injunction would throw that in to total disarray.

I still think the most crucial person in this whole shemozzle is Ayoub

And despite the issues in the past , he knows who butters his bread

The “no time frame” game is the ace up the NRL’s sleeve. Make Pascoe sweat it out and just sit back, watch, and wait. Sooner or later Pascoe will contact someone in the club and then the “integrity” unit will pounce. Pascoe will be further discredited, and the NRL gets another couple of hundred grand. A nice little earner for them.

He's allowed to be in contact with the club. He helped in our appeal.

I don’t think this is right @gallagher. There were 2 separate submissions- one from WT and one from Pascoe. My understanding is he is to have no contact with WT at all.

It was reported that he couldn't act in an official capacity. The only place I could find it said he couldn't have contact with the club was in this thread.
It was also reported when we submitted our appeal that he helped with it. I know there are two submissions.

Ok well that’s news to me and I’m happy to be wrong. I suppose I assumed the reason for 2 submissions was because there was to be no communication.

I think because the sanction on Pascoe is on him not the club.

It was there Greenberg dropped a range of sanctions against the club, which also included a $750,000 fine and a further $639,000 — or the entire Farah offer — added to their 2019 cap.

Pascoe has since been ordered by the NRL to stay away from the club’s Concord base, while Tigers staff are barred from calling their boss.

It is understood Pascoe is now meeting off site with the club’s legal team as part of planning his defence.

–-------------

Nothing about Pascoe could not contact the Club or the legal team to prepare the appeal both for himself and the Club sanctions respectively..just that he was not allowed on-site..

 

[Tiger_Steve]

So does that mean he can be in contact with Marina Go for example? I thought he was to have no contact with anyone but that appears to be incorrect.

Hang them and then ask questions? Guilty of what?

Thanks @Geo, could you post the link for that article?

It's a Tele subscriber only article @gallagher was posted on the 21st of December in this thread.. post #703..googled it but not paying them bleeeeeeeeps

Like all of us I'm not aware of all the facts but there's no way the NRL can stop Pascoe from participating in his own defence. That could mean contact, in concert with his legal team, with club officials. All the NRL could reasonably do is prevent Pascoe from having anything to do with club management or administration. I'm not a lawyer but the NRL would be denying natural justice if they prevented Pascoe from contact with club officials as part of his defence. The stipulation that he's not allowed to do that at Concord is not unreasonable in my view.

Cheers @Geo

Thanks Gallagher, I didn't know that. I'm having trouble keeping up!

 

[mike]

The only contact with the club would be via the lawyers. No direct contact, that was my understanding but I could be wrong which would not be unusual.

@Plato

Yeah its a bit like trying to keep up with a stolen burnt out car

Lets hope the insurance covers the damage ( or is their something in the fine print we missed )

 

[Plato]

Serves you right for getting your vehicles from fire sales!

 

[tigerbenji]

I agree 100%.
