Tui’s charges have been dismissed after QLD Police offered no evidence in court today.
Great, now Tui is free to play.
But, can we just acknowledge the no fault stand down policy has f*cked Tui and the club over big time in this case. Tui’s charges had a maximum gaol period of less than the policy guidelines, but Abdo made the decision to stand him down anyway.

Geeez this is good news...on ALL fronts.
Strengthens our forward pack and Tui was ultimately not found guilty of any offence (due to a complete lack of evidence)

Assume he wont be allowed to come back straight away? And when he does maybe match fitness in the Qcup? Him bolstering the bench can't happen quick enough though.

Odd there's been no statement from the club or the NRL

Think I may ask my wife to submit some baseless allegations against some opposition players come finals time just to increase our chances of another GF. The NRL is clearly too woke for their own good and are shafting the players unfairly.

I mean when there’s cctv showing exactly what happened I guess the police decided not to show it cause there was nothing to show (ALLEGEDLY just so I don’t get in trouble)

Says a lot about QLD Police and prosecution unfortunately. Why put a guy through that - they obviously knew he wasn’t allowed to work - they sought a delay in court appearance, only to acknowledge in court at the final possible hurdle that there was nothing there.
Where is their accountability?

Both feeders have the bye this weekend, so perhaps Tui straight back in for Tepai?

So there's an apology from him on the club website. Wonder what that means in terms of him playing?

How does someone get a 10 week suspension for something that resulted in charges being thrown out???
