As far as I know if he is still working in Sydney he will probably play on the Central Coast but if he can score a job locally or in Newcastle he'll play up there. He's a qualified carpenter so if you know anyone looking for a tradie let me knowQuote:

Maitland will appeal and it will be overturned. The story I was told was that they couldn't prove he did play in the game.Quote:

I would think that they would have more than 1 witness saying it was him to get the sanction he got.Quote:

Yeah the punishment is excessive no doubt but we all know the rules so play by them.
It also to me indicates some acknowledgement of the illegal player issue being him to be true.
If it was not true the appeal would be based on the wasn't him aspect and it was someone else and they have the wrong man
Does this consequence fit this crime?
I think Kahibah went through anyway so the finals werent really affected.
12 months is a fair wack although this stuff does need to be stamped out.
maybe a fine (money goes to Kahibah and assoc) and shorter suspension? or smash him for longer? idk
Adamstown went through but were rightfully kicked out due to playing with a ring-in. Kahibah went to Semi's instead. I played in this grade and our first game was against a nine-man Adamstown. Think they had issues with numbers a couple of times. There's been a fair bit of publicity compared to what you'd normally see so hopefully it does make players and teams think twice next time. Bringing an NPL player into AA/H grade is a totally unfair advantage.Quote:

Fair enough and I was under the understanding that it was only 1 person who came forward as a witness, also seeing as though he is registered through NNSWF shouldn't NNSWF hand down the ban? I find it strange that NNSWF have left it in the hands of Macquarie as he doesn't fall under their banner.Quote:

So how come Adamstown weren't hit with a large fine or some other penalty for playing a ring in-they must have known and just being kicked out of the final series hardly fits the crime.Quote:

They as in the club? It's an all-age team I doubt the club had any idea who played the game until the association told them they had been kicked out. And having the team disqualified from the competition is a serve punishment on the team. Not one of those registered players got to continue to play for any remaining finals games.Quote:

Something a bit strange about this case. Somebody obviously knew at the time or had suspicions that a player was unregistered & a ring in or there would have been no complaint. If so & in this day & age when everyone has a mobile phone in their pocket why wouldn't somebody take a photo to provide undeniable proof of the situation. Also if it was a finals game was there no video evidence what so ever? I have no idea if Clarke played or not but if I was in the team that hadn't played against a bloke all year & there was speculation he was an illegal player the first thing I would do is get concrete evidence through a photo that he actually played. I wouldn't rely on a "he said she said" situation which my team may have won or may have been knocked back.Quote:

He didn't leave the Magpies, he just can't play for 12 months. Perhaps they can replace him in their top 20 with Nick HarmonQuote:

How do you know where Daniel Bird is going to?Quote:

LOL at all these clubs signing blokes who jump from club to club for $$$$$$, all to win what $5k ?????
Whats a matter with promoting youth like some clubs are choosing to do, if i was a young player coming through, there would be alot of clubs i wouldnt consider playing for considering there is a roadblock at the top end.......
Judging by the above list Charlestown are the only club that has not signed anyoneQuote:
