I think the club should have stood him down. The reason being is it would probably have placated the NRL and I have a feeling we have just pissed them off again. Despite his ill discipline, we aren't going anywhere this year without Andrew. We can't afford to have him off the field.There is no comparison but what has happened now, is the media has painted Fifita x 2 as the villain (which i would assume they are here). So regardless of the outcome of the match review tomorrow or an appeal or judiciary or whatever, they are guilty. So if they get out of it lightly, the media blow up straight away.
There was IMO no grounds to stand anyone down today, short of an admission. It seems David took that option, which makes me wonder about Andrew. He seems to be the guy that has the most to answer for if the reports are true. Is that a beat up or is he just denying it for as long as possible.
Its serious, and a different case to the SKD thing, however, Auva'a played a whole season, pled guilty IIRC, won a grand final, then got suspended by the NRL.
Intresting to see how LG handles this behind closed doors, what ever he does will suit me.Might have some time to practice now .

LG will be on the front footdue process Cranky
the NRL can't afford to argue with that
we've a history of knee-jerk reactions under pressure
I hear you, but if the story is true he could well miss quite a few games. It will be tempting for the NRL to make an example of him.due process Cranky

Triple M guy Riedy stated that Fafita was reslless about a month ago, maybe looking to get out.

Can it really be that hard to play the ball. Every time he does it I have my heart in my mouth.
Gotta have a couple of weeks on sideline.
No matter what you cannot "abuse or threaten "
Junior league officials.
12 months ? Harrigan really is a douchebagI think everyones aware of that. But i think people saying they should have been instantly stood down are jumping the gun. Let it play out. Trust that the NRL will take the appropriate steps in ensuring a positive outcome. And i dont think a 12 month suspension as Bill Harrigan suggested is that. I dont think David is alleged to have threatened anyone, Graham etc got 3 weeks i think for the good friday blow up. So for David i would say 3 games max.
