Quote phil webbo="phil webbo"That's not entirely true either, because that would mean that if you felt that the RFL had it wrong and you wanted to contest it you would be forced to use your EGP, meaning pleading guilty to something you haven't done, that would put them in breach of Natural justice although I believe the terminology has changed, it falls under the right to a fair hearing which pleading guilty when there is a belief of innocence is a good example of this.'"
But you're still free to contest the charge and you're not obliged to use an EGP.
There's just the strong temptation to play the system, even if you think you're innocent. Because being honest, 'you' feeling the RFL have it wrong isn't the most rational basis to plead not guilty - it's more what you think they'll think. So, it becomes a bit of a game.
