Not an FC issue and nothing to worry about for either the club or AP imo. Yes were now a man down but as one door closes another opens so im sure either a youngster can step up or we'll get someone else in

If Micheals is guilty I would like to think he would do the right thing and resign .The Club has done no wrong so why should the Club suffer.If guilty would the Club be able to rip his contract up with no chance of him challenging it? The Club needs to deal with this as soon possible or our promising start could be de railed
WT actual F? If he's done it, we need to ask some serious due diligence questions internally and bin him off, incidentally a player few were impressed with signing. If he's not done it we need to stand him down until due process is complete and get on with Yeaman/Sa/Logan/Whiting/Thompson in the centres.
Neither of these scenarios should "derail" our season.

My opinion he will be gone next week.Already stood down I understand the innocent until proven guilty thing but there are 10 counts to defend. He should and I think he will resign and return to Australia next week.

That would be the pragmatic solution. I guess if the investigation is new there's no reason why the club should have been aware of anything before signing him. In the scenario the question would be whether research on players is adequate and also whether we're going to reinvest his salary in a centre or elsewhere.

Regardless of this situation specifically your sentiment regarding social media is spot on.
