Terrible from these two clubs. ?Silver spoons perhaps thinking they could get away with it. Collegians in particular (with their history) should be playing a straight bat.
Good effort by Baldivis to get a late call up and win through to the second week of finals.
Fancy that, two golden triangle old boys clubs playing outside the rules.
Self ‘reporting’ is the only way A and B grade clubs can be revealed apparently ?
I read it as the PFL was contacted about both clubs, an investigation found some evidence to support both clubs had breached the rules and during that process that West Coast self reported some of their errors - most likely to reduce part of their penalty in the form of fines.
The new integrity officer putting somewhat of a stamp on things. I’m hearing the Kingsway coach copped a 2 match ban following an investigation after the Nth Beach game in which there was some questionable behavior. Hardly sounds like it was worth 2 weeks though - originally the integrity officer wanted 4 weeks and Kingsway were considering lawyers.
4 would have ended the coaches season, 2 means he can’t coach in Kingsway’s first final…
Danger,
Thats why we were targeted…a small club trying to grow with limited $$$ resources.
If we could have afforded to challenge in a Court of Law…it would lasted five mins or more than likly been thrown out.
Absolute travesty!
What was the supposed indiscretion?
Hi Lando,
In a nutshell…I (as coach) was supposed to have offered a player travel money .
That certainly did not happen and at the 2nd hearing (we won the first) on lack of evidence, as there was’nt any.
The player (who was forced to testify) said and i quote " No i did not receive any travel money" …how much was this alleged travel money “I dont know” !
He was forced to give testimony against his will, How do i know that ?
We ph’d him and asked him why he said we had!
His response ( before blocking my number ) that if he did not …he would not be allowed to play in the Grandfinal for his new club.
After he signed the witness statement the so called PFL Integrity Officer gave him a new Football courtesy of PFL!
Thanks Chris
Was this for the small club from a few years back or the Kingsway behaviour incident?
It was the SMALL club from a few years back mate.
