And he probably never will. But who do you think has more to answer for? Matt for making insulting remarks on a defunct bulletin board, or yourself for presiding over the most significant economic losses in the history of the NSWCA?

That's a start!

It will allow Matt to play again in NSW which is something you said would never happen, so that's some progress.

Kevin and Denis have been abusive to Matt as well.

Not on this board he hasn't. Even if he has elsewhere, since when is the NSWCA in the business of denying membership to people based on what they do in their private lives?

We only have your word to support that, which isn't very credible. You once told Jason Lyons and Peter Parr that you would step down as NSWCA President and allow them to fill those roles on council. This was deceitful and completely dishonest as you neither stepped down nor ever had any intention of doing so.

Furthermore, the rushed ACF nationwide ban which was aimed exclusively at Matt Sweeney was clearly instigated by yourself, so you cannot make any dis-association arguments with clean hands Bill.

Yes, I am sure Peter Parr loves you.

Is that why Matt has been allowed Associate Membership in the NSWCA this year? Its likely the rest of the NSWCA do not agree with the hardline stance you have adopted to punish Matt, but because Associate Membership would allow Matt to play again they saw no need to make a stink about it.
