Get your eyes checked.

This video of the incident shows 3 Balmain players starting the incident by ganging up on Ridge and Jack throwing a wild haymaker (a real dog shot)

It was more of a case of f**king around and finding out. For some reason LU always sides with Jack on this one.


That mother f**ker.

This is the guy that ended some poor saps career with a very late swinging arm to the head, after the ball had already left his hands, that knocked the bloke out. He couldn't play again.

Unfortunately, it happened the week before soo and he was a nobody so didn't hear a peep out of the media and this f**ker didn't even get charged.

The faux outrage over the Raiders thing is pretty hilarious.
A very low level incident that probably shouldn’t have even been reported by the media.
Couple of young blokes mucking around with inflatable bats and bumped the emergency button.
Yeah, it shouldn’t have happened but not really the big deal it’s been made out to be.

Absolutely! Bundy showed that Roach was essentially a powder puff. Ian would have cleaned his clock.

Yep. I saw Ian Roberts play a lot. Certainly didn't have the reputation of being a "dirty" player in his career, but was considered very tough. He was one of those guys who had that aura of "do not f'k with me" on the field. Ran hard and his tackles could be brutal (though legal).

So tackling a bloke is "ganging up on" him? A wild haymaker is a push/jab?

Because Jack was savagely beaten while defenseless.

If Roberts wasnt a gay merkin he would be held in the same regard as Anthony Watts.

Edit: Except Roberts was a legit hard tough player and Watts was a pretend tough merkin, but you get what I mean...

He took out John Mackay in the Panasonic Cup semi final against Easts in 1987 late in the game, late hit after he had passed the ball, Mackay was in hospital for ages after that incident, luckily though Mackay did play again in 1988.

I found some highlights of the game and you can see the incident at the 10.42 sec mark

The NRL can't afford any behaviour like this? A man pissed in his own mouth, one pretended to root a dog, another threatened to kill a family, and so on...and the game rolled on. Weidler thinks the game will be brought down by someone bumping into an emergency button?

These leeches need to put down the laptop every now and then, and breathe the calmer air of reality in sometimes.

In other news, I will be disappointed if my side loses to an outfit that had a recovery session in a rooftop pool party area, trained with primary school kids and recreated the Hangover in a lift in Vegas.

I don't think anyone will understand what you mean. Roberts would be regarded as an ultra tough bastard, no matter which hole he was interested in. And Anthony Watts was a no one who rivals the Horse Bruh as one of the game's worst looking players of all time, and was as hard as custard. I have no idea what you mean.

Thanks for providing video footage of the incident.

It was even worse than I remembered.

Then when he was on the other side of it he had a cry to the media. f**king cock.
