O'Sullivan Banned by NRL

NRL cancels Roosters recruitment manager Peter O’Sullivan’s registration

ROOSTERS recruitment manager Peter O’Sullivan has had his registration cancelled by the NRL over his financial dealings with controversial former brothel owner Eddie Hayson.

O’Sullivan was stood down in August and forced to explain why more than $500,000 was deposited into his account by Hayson.

The NRL was concerned about significant financial transactions between Hayson and O’Sullivan worth about $750,000 over the past decade.

“The NRL has considered Mr O’Sullivan’s response and determined that his registration will be cancelled, taking effect immediately,” the spokesman said.

O’Sullivan joined the Roosters in 2008 from the Storm and is widely credited for identifying Greg Inglis, Israel Folau, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Latrell Mitchell.

He was embroiled in the Storm salary cap controversy but escaped sanction.

  • Surely the NRL have / know more about this..this itself is a huge breach and story, considering who he has worked with.

    • Considering who his partner is
  • What about that Broncos bloke didn't he receive money as well
  • O'Sullivan should of resigned just like that dodgy cunt Andrew gee and wouldn't had to answer questions
  • how on earth did he escape sanction at the storm...AND continue at another profile club?

  • Anyone who claims to have discovered inglis is a real piece of work. Inglis was killing it from under 7s all the way to when he joined the storm.
  • I thought the Knights scouts discovered Inglis as he was in their system first
    • i doubt he was the only person to notice Inglis. i am sure the storm just offered the most money for a guy who may or may not have made it.

      similar to how they say the titans out manuvered parra for Hayne. Really they just offered more money all for one field goal so far.

  • What nobody has mentioned yet, is what this could mean for Foran. It may of course depend on how much money Hayson has given Foran, but you would think this may not be confined to just one person.
