Is there a Lawyer in the house?

[2026]

I just find it uncomfortable to suggest seeking legal action against the nrl for referee bias.. And creating a petition to serve the nrl.. It's a bit precious. Although I also understand I seem to be the minority here. Despite my equal love for the chookies.

I can only channel energy into things I can control. Referees and penalties are not one.

All good mate.Your entitled to an opinion.

If a certain referee doesn't like us because he thinks where all yuppies that drive Range Rovers then i don't mind that type of bias.

However if it's match fixing, i hope they cop the full brunt of the law.Kick em to the curb, lock them up and throw away they key.

Is there a lawyer in the house....???

This is really getting embarrassing now....

Following Rothfield's article - Are there any grounds for the club to take legal action against the NRL?

What would it take to see ICAC investigate this matter further?

None. Stats from the last 3 yrs or so is no evidence whatsoever of corruption. In a supporters mentality it may be. But not in a Court.

If you had real proof, ie. The refs boss sending an email to a ref saying, "make sure you penalise the roosters out of the game this weekend", well that's another story. But that does not automatically mean you will get icac etc involved. To be honest you are clutching at straws and living in Dreamworld. It won't happen.

Yes but the stats and the publicity could and should be enough to trigger an investigation.

Corruption has been exposed at all levels of politics, in the business sector and the police force just to name a few so to suggest that it couldn't happen in the NRL that turns over in-exess of $300 million a year is naive.

300 million reasons to suspect a fix !

No mate . As I said, for an investigation by icac or a court etc there has to be evidence of corruption. Investigations of this type cost millions of dollars. They do not proceed simply because the stats show we have been the most penalised team for 3 or so years. The stats are not evidenceNeither are the outcry of Roosters supporters. You would not even class this as circumstantial evidence. Not even close.

You would need proof of collusion etc. nothing less. Rugby league game stats are proof of nothing. Emails showing collusion. A witness who has direct evidence of corrupt actions against our club. That sort of thing. I'm not saying that's happening. I'm saying that's the least you would need to initiate what you are talking about.

And Kurt called me stoopid.

Of course there's no lawyers in the house. They're all over on the Rugby and Leather Elbow Patches forum.

Buzzs' rant has payed dividends already. Sharks were only penalised twice tonight.

The Sharks are one of the leaders in penalties received this year.

Not really! I work with a team of lawyers and some are members of this very forum. Now I better go file something and look busy..grab a Pensky file or two and get back to work...

Who are you calling "stooped", stooped?

I find that your posts work better than sleeping pills

Obviously stats aren't evidence however they may be enough for a betting agency or the club to employ someone to dig a little deeper.

redwhiteblue, do you work for Art Vandelay?
