I don’t think people are calling him a poor bloke I think people are aware of the seriousness of the issue to me the problem is will he get a fair trail considering what’s going on with his health issues. Also say the accusations are false the stigma that he is a Pedo remain.Perhaps people should keep in mind that it is not easy to come forward, especially when it happened to you as a child. We are now reaching a point in society where people are being encouraged to come forward and are mostly offered support, so more are becoming comfortable with revealing what happened.
Can you seriously imagine coming forward in the 1980s? You would be laughed off or ignored
This is exactly right.
People calling him "poor bloke" holy shit, what an out of touch forum this can be.

Don't be a dickhead, dickhead. If he did it he can rot in hell, I just don't believe it, who's next, Paul Hogan?So, for you: gays are evil, but child molestation gets a free pass?
You could be president of the united states.

Yes there has been a lot of trust issues raised and that is a good thing, now maybe religious organisations will change rules and become more sensitive and accountable. But it should always be noted the it is the minority that bring this upon society. In the church it is mainly homosexual paedophiles who caused the problem and secular minded people in power who dug deep to expose it. These paedophiles sought to join these church organisations hiding under the cover of celibacy and non-married status. The secular minded people used the situation to denigrate religion. I wonder why the stats showing the majority of paedophiles are of homosexual habits is not published anywhere in the media.Certainly a sad and distressing situation for both parties & let the justice system run its course. It seems much faith has been lost in the Church and now possibly a Saints Immortal. Not a good look as I ponder the song from R.E.M Losing my Religion.
Oh really. How many? Do you have some facts or statistics you'd like to provide to back this up?I agree SO many false accusations these days.....its true
Perfectly put re the paper and allegationsThe Daily Telegraph is a very very shallow paper, splashing his face with the Red V, the guy has got dementia the weak preying on the weak, this whole saga is a great hypocrisy, in its true essence.
The Dragons should take legal action against this paper, it is personal matter not a St George Illawarra Dragons matter!
That Phil Rothfield should be up for assault as he f.cking gives it to the Dragons club and fans.
Perfectly put re the paper and allegations
Like the news today former Dragons Star "range Chase" on drug charges.
FMD how long since he was at our club, did he do drugs whilst here, if he was a star (lol) he'd still be here so he is hardly ours or our problem.
They love sticking it to the Big Red V.
So true guys. The Dragons are the real victim hereThe Daily Telegraph is a very very shallow paper, splashing his face with the Red V, the guy has got dementia the weak preying on the weak, this whole saga is a great hypocrisy, in its true essence.

You're right! So Doust should fall on his sword and resign, followed by all the Board members, the Coaching staff and the rest of the management staff.So true guys. The Dragons are the real victim here
