He is seeking an order that the NRL and ARLC immediately issue a press release and place corrective advertising in numerous newspapers stating: “The NRL has not suspended St George Illawarra player Jack de Belin. He is available to play for St George Illawarra”.De Belin is seeking damages, compensation and legal costs, as well as a string of court declarations including that the two bodies engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct and unconscionable conduct.
He also wants an order permanently restraining them from inserting the new rule into the NRL Rules or NRL Code of Conduct, claiming it is unreasonable and contrary to public policy. Under the old policy, players who pleaded not guilty to serious charges were allowed to continue playing until their case was finalised in court.
His lawyers say neither body had any material to enable them to determine de Belin was guilty of rape or in breach of the NRL Code of Conduct. But for the “threatened suspension”, de Belin intends playing in the first 2019 match on March 16 and in matches through the year and 2020, and to make himself available for representative selection including for State of Origin, the documents state.
