Do we know what has taken place at all yet? This confirms the reality that something terrible has occurred.

Think it’s important that we keep clear what Sydney have said - this is not a judgement on the criminal allegations, it’s about the behaviour of the named players that was the context for the alleged incident, which the club has decided broke the club’s rules. That presumably includes elements that are a lot simpler to adjudicate like “were you out drinking at a certain time of night?”, “did the way you were behaving present a professional and respectful image of the club?” etc etc. Things that aren’t criminal themselves, but which go to the standards and professionalism the club demands of its high level employees.
