SKD escapes a conviction

[Fairfax]

Hopefully he can get a start elsewhere and put the past few years behind him.

Hope he can gets a pre 30 June contract and get a start with the Knights soon.

Thats good news for SKD. Hopefully he can get a contract and start keeping a low profile and perhaps even play some footy.

Great news!

Noted that his defence team used the fact that he had lost his contract at the Roosters as part of their case that no conviction should be recorded ...

I hope and believe we released Skidsy in the manner we did purely for his benefit.

On the news it said SKD was de-registered by the NRL ... Why ?

Interesting point. From the SMH;

Magistrate Greg Grogin said Kenny-Dowall appeared in court as a member of the community, who happened to have a high profile.

Mr Grogin noted Kenny-Dowall had lost his contract with the Roosters as a result of the charges, as well as his registration with the NRL.

"The collateral damage is huge," Mr Grogin said.

What does that mean? If he receives a new contract would he be re-registered or is he being punished further? Would appreciate if anyone who would know could verify that.

[Tommy Smith]

Surely he hasn't been deregistered by the NRL given that Proctor and Bromwich didn't even receive a slap on the wrist from the NRL.

I'd be staggered if that was the case.

[Game Fowl]

More likely the NRL deregistered his Roosters contract - that may make sense.

[Waylander]

You can't be registered with the NRL unless you have a valid contract with an NRL affiliated club. The Knights have a 3 year deal waiting for him. All he needed was to avoid a criminal conviction. I don't know if he'll sign on before June 30 and play out this year, or start afresh in 2018, but I'm pretty sure he'll be a Knight either way.

I hope and believe we released Skidsy in the manner we did purely for his benefit.

Maybe his legal team asked for the decision to be brought forward.

Was it part of the deal to lower the number of grams?

wish it was that easy in my weight loss...lol
