How has Scott avoided any sort of ban for bringing the game into disrepute? Nothing to do with the no fault policy, just in regards to being drunk and disorderly and accused of assaulting a police officer! I would have thought Canberra would have given him some sort of suspension.
As far as I'm aware the whole 'game in disrepute' stuff all falls under the no fault umbrella (would just be in the discretionary part) so in that sense they've already made a decision on it. As for the club, not sure.
Can only assume either
a) they have punished him behind the scenes in some way (maybe they've asked him to agree to a change in contract terms similar to what Wighton has?), or
b) They changed to only take a hard line stance when forced to by the NRL after getting no real benefit from doing so previously, or
c) They have looked at all the info we don't have and don't think Scott is in the wrong (or its grey perhaps).
