Go to RIB website and then Decisions and it there for you. Very lengthy legal type doc but good reading.

Do The Crime / Pay With The Time

Thanks for posting that Idolmite.

The most telling line was the last line ......'You can re-apply in 12mths' .....that usually means 'green light next time' so N R McGrath will be back in action next year which is good as he has undoubted ability and just wandered off the beaten track.

Taking short cuts seems good at the time but never pays off......so hopefully he has learned his lesson and the Blue with the White Star will be back big time next year.

The 12 months would have been mentioned as you can only appeal every 12 months.Hope he gets himself sorted as talented but trouble seems to follow him.Some of his choice of staff hasnt helped.

He's been in strife more than once, no place in the sport for these people full stop. You know the saying a repeat offender and a leopard never changes its spots.

Interesting to read that rival trainer Robert Dunn wrote in support to get Nigel back early….

Apparently so. R Dunn's record in terms of past issues with officialdom? FFS the guy is on the HRNZ board, what on earth was he thinking just as the same question could and was be asked Of Spicer when he wanted McGrath back in.. Absolute nonsense which RIB saw through in  appeals in both cases. JMT

Dunn's offending goes back to the days when he had a TAB agency in Christchurch.

Should serve the full term of the suspension..
