oh and Des sacked.

Kiwi NRL star charged with drug dealing and betting offences
A Queensland police spokesperson confirmed a 29-year-old was due to appear in court in September.
-
heaps of rumours around that he had money problems at the Roosters, owing to the wrong guys. These are only rumours, but gee...
But the supply thing apparently was him offering to get some bags for Roosters players on a golf weekend.
-
lol okay i have read the over night stories and this is the biggest fucking beat up ever.
On June 7th some Roosters guys were on the Sunny Coast, and apparently Cheese was caught trying to hook them up with what must be his Qld guy. Supply? that's a long bow.
The gambling bit is even dumber, he apparently told the guy he was due to play Round 18. Round 18 was a fucking month away at that point.
Qld Police really nailing this. Especially because apparently there is a very valid defense that the charges are invalid because Cheese wasn't even in Qld when this happened (i am sure we have a Qld cop here who can clear this up for us)

Yeah, if this was a member of joe blow public it wouldn't even be a thing.
Although, I think there is a law on the books stating that they can prosecute out of state people who enable a crime in Qld.
-
the biggest implication could be at the Roosters. The names are some of the main ones
-
actually the biggest story today is Xavier Savage has cracked his shoulder and is done for the year. Massive loss for the Raiders

The way my foggy night work brain understands it - In no reference whatsoever to the case against Cheese, (I have no knowledge of it other than what has been reported) in Queensland, if a telecommunication device is used to commit a crime the alleged offence is deemed to have occurred in either place - ie where the message was sent from or where the message was received. In most cases where it was received seems to be used more often.
In regards to supplying a Dangerous Drug, merely giving your mate some weed is enough to be charged with Supplying. In theory, even passing the dutchie opens you up to a charge of supply (who hasn't done that?)

only to the left
(also that seems fucking stupid to me)
-
but based on that i wonder what the defense they are so confident of is?

Fucking stupid to me too.

Seems like a storm in a tea cup. I think I would be more concerned with outright tanking with Penrith set to name juniors in first grade, up to 16 changes potentially

As a copper/ex copper do you think any non "celebrity" would be getting charged for this? If there were messages from me on that phone trying to hook my Brisbane based cousins up I highly doubt I'd be facing any charges.
(For full disclosure I have no idea how to get coke in either Sydney or Brisbane/Coasts
). -

Cops tend to be more willing to take action with drug offences because the Drug Misuse Act provides police with protection from having costs awarded against them for failed prosecutions.

Really? I'd have thought that the dealer would be the guy they were going after and wouldn't bother with me sending a group text to hook my cousins up.
Joh Biejke is gone but the police state still exists.

The key thing here I think is whether the names of Smith's Sunshine Coast cousies are guna come out.
Wonder what the attitude of the cops is to that.Friend of mine got busted when he was scoring for everyone for a weekend away.
That made him a supplier. The cops love that they can leverage off that. -
Knights coach O'Brien set to be sacked finally.

interestingly he is going to "step down"
(ie he's sacked but for less than the contracted pay out figure)
If they immediately promote their attack coach which has the Knights with the least points scored in the comp then Newcastle fans might actually stop caring.
