Josh Dugan apparently considering legal action against the Sharks for unfair dismissal. This is a cop out with the flimsiest defence imaginable and he knows it, if he goes through with this he’s dead to me.


Ex-NRL star Josh Dugan will consider taking legal action against the Sharks for wrongful dismissal if he’s successful in court later this year.

Dugan was sacked by Cronulla last year after he was charged with an alleged breach of the New South Wales public health order during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The former Blues and Kangaroos winger was stopped driving through Lithgow in the Blues Mountains while Sydneysiders were restricted to travel within five kilometres of their homes.

Solicitor Paul McGirr argued in Lithgow Court on August 31 that the case against his client was was flawed because he was unaware of the Covid protocols at the time.

The matter still before the courts and a decision due on December 2.

Dugan’s Sharks contract was then wrongly terminated on September 10, according to McGirr, and reportedly still had more than $100,000 of his contract to be paid.

“He was terminated because of this breach, therefore, you would think if he had been terminated unlawfully, he would have to have a civil action,” McGirr told The Daily Telegraph.

“And not only for the losses at the time for the particular matter but his name and reputation have been sullied. Josh Dugan has always declared his innocence in respect to this

“It would be like me saying that you’re sacked for stealing something when it turns out you didn’t take anything.

“The law only changed a matter of days before (the incident) and he had the understanding he was doing the right thing and he was terminated on that basis.

“He is certainly looking at his legal options in respect to an action against his employer at the time.”

The Sharks settled with former player Todd Carney in 2017 after he brought an unfair dismissal claim against the club.

Lol he's been gone for how long now? Must need some cash for that property he wants to buy in Lithgow.

Most overrated player to ever grace an nrl field! Maybe not anymore because everyone has finally realised that he’s ordinary!

Think you're forgetting about a certain Tyrannosauras-squirrel.

This dude HAS to go , you'd think


Manly’s general manager of football John Bonasera were aware of the jersey design in May.

On Monday evening, The Daily Telegraph released leaked emails that appeared to show Sea Eagles commercial boss Luke Tucker and Manly’s general manager of football John Bonasera were aware of the jersey design in May.

Tucker wrote in an email: “I just want to double check before production commences that we won’t have any issues with any players wearing these jerseys for this one-off game

Bonasera responded: “Don’t see an issue at all mate.”

Tucker elaborated: “It’s for everyone. Male, female, gay, straight, black, white, etc, etc. It’s certainly not just focused on LGBTQ.”

The Daily Telegraph reports Bonasera did not pass the information on to Hasler, with the general manager of football later apologising to the veteran coach over the communication breakdown.

Yeah I'd be keeping him next year
If Klem is on the cards, and Newy want to pitch in I'd let him go in a heart beat. Perfect for our pack, and Dykes can serve as spine depth. Also much easier to sign a back up 7 then a really good prop.
