so now they'll have to see the same headlines again thanks to this jury

Dunno
I do know he was diagnosed in 2009
Passed away in 2013
Crossed Danks path for 4 weeks 2011

Wilson tried her guts out to make it sound like the sharks attributed to his death .
His family weren't having any of it.

This seems way different to the way MMM described it? Did Danky have more than one case on the go?

Triple M talked about the court saying dank was defamed but his reputation was already worthless due to other issues so he would only be getting a tiny settlement

He sued over a bunch of articles. One the jury found that news ltd claim was true (the one discussed here), the other the jury found that the article did not convey the meaning dank claimed and the final one the jury found he had been defamed (that he gave the players warfarin)

News ltd lawyers are arguing that any compensation for the last article should be minimum because the jury accepts dank did a lot worse

Why are Ikin and Kent (NRL 360 show) showing complete outrage for what they have read this week?
What have I missed that seems so contradictory?

Thanks for the memory jog. It was the warfarin one they were talking about

Essendon

Wtf were these merkins thinking ?

When 2 narcissists like Hird and Dank get together only bad things can happen, Dank was clearly using the players as guinea pigs and Hird just wanted to keep winning no matter what so demanded the players kept taking whatever Dank offered. The players really should have stood up to these 2 but Hird is a club legend and they were winning (they won like 10?straight on the PEDs) so I can understand why they kept hitting up, costly mistake.

Essendon are very lucky they still exist, the players are very lucky they weren't banned for life. It was systematic cheating, plain and simple.

Heard on the news that about 4 more ex-Cronulla players have filed action against the Sharks over the supplement program that Dank had his grubby little paws in.

'Supplements', it wasn't vitamin C, they were banned drugs. This saga has a long way to run. Most of these players at the clubs involved will eventually want to know what they were injected with. They may be motivated by the recent court ruling against Dank.

so did the jury say that dank wasn't defamed by the journos story regarding peptides potentially accelerating Jonny Mannah's recurrence of cancer and subsequent death?

so that means they think he did?

that's beyond f**ked if that can be proved.

After watching 4 Corners on Monday night I think this whole thing could get uglier. It could, if it hasn't already, become a lawyers picnic. Clubs have a duty of care, surely this was breached.
