A victim?

Probably went in to score and someone tried to kick his ball out.

So it's just a beat up?

So it's just a beat up?

Yeah he got beat up.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

You gotta love the breathlessness of modern media.

Then the truth comes out.

 

[El Diablo]

News Ltd will be filthy that he's the victim and not the perpetrator

 

[Lockyer4President!]

So it's just a beat up?

Are you really surprised?

Watch the back page of the DT tomorrow. 'Slater Arrested in UK' headline, 5 pages of slander and one sentence at the end saying he was the victim...

NRL Statement

Australian Rugby League team management has confirmed Billy Slater was detained by police this morning and has been released without charge.

After reviewing CCTV footage of a scuffle outside a Manchester nightclub, police have determined that Slater was the victim who then acted in self-defence and has informed him of his right to press charges.

Billy was returning to the venue to collect his jacket that he left behind when he was attacked. Both men were detained for several hours while police reviewed footage of the incident.

The Australian team players were free of official duties after returning from Ireland.

See Papalii, that's how you fight back instead of being a little bitch and letting some guys mug you and then try and keep it quiet so you don't look like a major pussy

Yep. Papalili should have fought back, got knifed in the back and bled to death on the street.

We got ourselves an internet tuff guy here folks.

Not for one minute did I think Billy did anything wrong. just the media trying to make a story out of nothing..not bothering to print the truth.

 

[umina panther]

So just like on the field Billy gets away with violence. Wonder if he kicked these blokes in the head

You gotta love the breathlessness of modern media.

Then the truth comes out.

To be fair to the media this time, the only reports I heard were that Billy Slater had been detained by police, no mention of being charged.

 

[STORM.99/07]

Billy was the victim of an UNPROVOKED attack, he was informed of his rights to press charges.
