Player Dramas in the NRL

You guys changed a word in your national anthem at the beginning of the year. There is nothing racist in Australia after that. Tedesco can't be racist because of the change.

James Tedesco will be investigated by the NRL's integrity unit after a woman claimed he made a racial slur against her in Sydney last week.

The NRL formally received a complaint from a woman on Sunday afternoon, after a social media post late last week.


In it, the woman's sister claimed the former Dally M medallist said "Squid Game" at the 20-year-old of Vietnamese descent when he walked past her in Bondi on Thursday.

Tedesco is expected to deny the claims, and has told the Sydney Roosters he was simply talking about Netflix's popular South Korean series when the woman overheard him.

"Last night you felt compelled to say "squid game" at my sister when you walked past her outside of Beach Road in Bondi," Katherine Trinh wrote on Instagram last week, tagging Tedesco in the post.

"This may seem like a joke to you, but these are the micro-aggressions that keep racism alive in Australia.

"My dad used to tell stories of the racism he faced when he first moved here 30 years ago, my sisters and I can all recount racism we suffered throughout school.

"And now one of them can remember when an entitled footy player was racist to her just last night."

Trinh claimed in the post that the NSW State of Origin captain had been called out on the comment when it occurred, to which Tedesco responded "do you know who I am?"

It adds to a long list of matters for the NRL's integrity unit to consider in their off-season.

Canberra winger Jordan Rapana pleaded guilty to low-range drink driving in Queensland from September on Monday, avoiding a conviction but copping a three-month suspension from driving and $500 fine.

Sam Burgess' situation is another matter to be resolved, with the NRL able to ramp up their investigation into claims last year that alleged drug use and domestic violence behaviour had been covered up by South Sydney.

The Rabbitohs strongly denied the claims by Burgess' ex-partner Phoebe, while the NRL can now speak to witnesses after a police investigation into Burgess was last week dropped.

An outcome is expected in the next few weeks on that matter, as well as a possible suspension for Burgess' brother George after he pleaded guilty to a road rage incident.

George's charge came just weeks after joining St George Illawarra.

The NRL's football department reviews are also ongoing this week, with no major alterations expected to on-field rules after two seasons of significant change.

Judiciary and off-field matters will also be considered, with clubs having submitted their ideas to changes to the system.

Again there is unlikely to be a major upheaval, but some clubs have suggested alterations to the loading system which came back to hurt the likes of Latrell Mitchell and Victor Radley in 2021.

The NRL made a point to defend the loading system during the year, pointing out that it follows a similar process to criminal courts.

Next season's draw is set to be released as soon as the end of next week.


Tedesco decision expected by end of next week - NRL News
What are even the potential consequences? Say he did and was caught lying, wouldn't it just be like a 10-20k fine? Uh no probs Uncle Nick has got it all covered. If he is found guilty then he will have to participate in the Squid games.

It's great to see the NRL have really ramped up their investigation into melon-head Sammy B.......haven't heard a thing about it since.

They announced that they concluded the investigation, nothing to answer to.

Of course. Sammy wouldn't do anything untoward.....
Good ol' NRL don't want to ruin their Pride Of The League memories of '14?

Should be sent back here as punishment.

The NRL considered that but decided that would be too harsh as even murderers don't receive sentences as harsh as that

 

[bathursttiger1]

North Korea to execute man for distributing copies of Squid Game.
Watch out Teddy I wouldn't visit Nortn Korea anytime soon.

Another one out against us in Round 1...

Blokes , pubs/ hotels , can’t get my head around how guys can get that bloto then blu with woman , can’t handle the poison don’t drink it

Another one out against us in Round 1...

A win by forfeit is still a win. The good old junior days when the opposition didn’t have enough players

They would have to forfeit though

They'd probably still like their chances against us with half a team

In fact they'd probably still start favorites with the bookies

 

[hank37w]

That would be good, we never go too well as favourites.

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

That would be good, we never go too well as favourites.

It’s when not one gives us any chance that we tend to turn up

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

If it's as bad enough that Melbourne are standing him down immediately, and it is proven to be bad, then he needs to be rubbed out of the game for good. I'm sick of having women abusers in our game (e.g. Tyrone May) running around and enjoying success without real consequences.

Well Furgo’s rugby career has started well. Most of them would be on the coke only a few get caught.
