Luai Burton it is then.

It’s just a pathetic joke! Should have claimed it was a cultural event.
Definitely 2 sets of rules being applied. I think that the NRL has opened a Pandora’s box here!

Certainly will be good to see how they go together

I'm not unhappy that Cleary has been hit hard. He needed a good kick up the bum. (I hope this cures him)

Meanwhile May needs to have a good hard look at himself and his lifestyle choices.

I was furious when this happened, (worse when the video came to light)

Playing NRL is a privilege not a right.

Both May and Cleary need to grow up. (emotionally) I'd love to see the club force them into some labouring work to see how the other hald live.

That is an amended breach notice, it says he is facing a two match ban, it hasnt been handed down yet. If you click on the link it says further down that both players have an opportunity to respond before a final determination is made.

How do you defend it though? So both will miss 2 games

Just cop it on the chin Nathan, will be perfect for the road to redemption storyline when he becomes captain in 2021 ....

Our media team will make it a Hollywood-esqe film, their social media content is elite !!!

You are probably right, however my point is, a decision has not as yet been handed down.

It doesn’t seem equitable when you look at the illegal acts of Latrell and his mates who won’t miss a match.

They haven’t been penalised for the gun issue yet as it’s before the courts.

They wont be penalised further. The NRL will happily forget all about it.

The NRL doesnt seem to care about players breaking the law unless women are involved. Even before proven guilty that's when they stand players down. Or have the toughest punishments.

Cleary deserved a harsher punishment than he initially received. But JAC and Mitchell also deserved a harsher initial punishment than Cleary for mine. Cleary lying deserved further punishment to at worst match Mitchell and KJAC.

They won’t get any further punishment because it was a cultural visit!

Agreed 2 games and 50k is probably fair for all 3

 

[Tronald Crump]

I am annoyed. Not because he didn't deserve his suspension for his immature behavior but the fact that Latrell & Addo Carr won't miss a game.
Their actions were worse. Yet the inconsistently and gutless NRL didn't suspend them.
They should miss time too!

 

[betcats]

He deserved more tbh. If he had of just admitted the full truth the first time he wouldn't of been punished worse then Latrell and JAC, but that blatant lying to everyone is terrible.

EDIT: And Tyrone May is f**king lucky he is Nathans best mate, 7 games from the intergrity unit this season plus all of last season, what a waste of space he has become.

 

[Dave's mate]

Latrell and JAC's lies were much worse really. Bringing in bullshit cultural excuses is pathetic.

I thought Nathan should have got a month straight off the bat

 

[herbert henry1908]

People don’t seem to understand the difference between objective truth and subjective truth. JAC & Mitchell may genuinely believe the trip was cultural, yeah it sounds like BS to you or me, but it doesn’t necessarily make it a lie.

Where as Nathan objectively lied. There’s no grey area at all, he said he didn’t know he was photographed. That was obviously a lie.

He is off contract end of the year. So he isn’t doing himself any favours

 

[franklin2323]

Lies are lies really all of them should of just owned up and taken the hit

If a tree falls in the forest and no-one sees or hears it, did it really happen?

If you have a CCTV with audio....
