Amone guilty.

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Whats an intensive corrections order? Will it affect his trainings, travelling etc?

The court should have determined the conditions.

it’s like a gaol sentence but not spent in gaol.

I’ll find the section for our esteemed panel.

 

[Slippery Morris]

The fact that he showed no remorse and tried to say mistaken identity in his defence should make it so much worse for him to escape any long term suspension/sacking. I know his lawyers would have played a role in that but your their client and should have instructed them not to go that way as the consequences if found false is would be so damaging to your reputation and career.

 

[Dragons4me]

Saints need to stand up and sack him. There’s no wiggle room here. He’s been found guilty so let’s not f**k around and carry another player for x amount of games that the nrl will suspend him for. Time to sack this goose. Absolute idiot

Perhaps but I think there's more at play here.

 

[Victoire]

Irrelevant. Get rid of him

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

So he’ll have to play with an ankle bracelet.

Probably a curfew and unable to travel interstate, I’d say his football is over for the next 2 years at least. Living proof you don’t need a long neck and feathers to be a goose.

The dragons and the nrl are just waiting for the appeal period to finish before they will act

Surely he is gone . The judge didn’t sound like she would be pleased if he could still play NRL after his actions.

An Intensive Corrections Order involves some sort of high level supervision - it can include home detention, electronic monitoring, curfews, etc. But it will depend on what the court has recommended. At a minimum, I suppose he would have to be regularly reporting to a Community Corrections Offer and undertake Community Service and Behavioural Programs.

If he is allowed to continue playing, then I suppose it would be a case of you're allowed to go to training, you're allowed to play on the weekend, but it's straight home afterwards or off to your community service/community programs (do not pass go, do not collect $200). Not sure what it would mean for interstate and overseas matches?

I guess it's over to the Integrity Unit now as to how things will proceed from here in terms of whether he is allowed to continue playing and ultimately what we do from the perspective of his playing contract. At a minimum, I'm sure the Integrity Unit will enforce a lengthy playing suspension (the first 10 weeks next season if not longer).

As much as I am in favour of us sacking him and moving on... I'm not in favour of him marching off to another club once any Integrity Unit punishment concludes. Doubt he'll have many options though, especially if he is expected to continue residing in Wollongong for the length of the ICO.

She would imply those conditions (No interstate travel, report to local station etc etc)

NRL 2024: St George Illawarra Dragons player Junior Amone spared jail over rooftop hammer attack

The young Dragons star was found guilty of a violent attack on a tradie near his Wollongong home. Now the NRL will decide whether to tear up his contract.

I find it interesting how many people are keen to sack Amone yet sign AFB who was equally charged and sacked by the club for assault and domestic violence.

Says nothing really.

He has clearly done his time, he took the sentence on the chin and showed remorse.

Amones defence was "it wasnt me, i wasnt even there". Hmmm finger prints, CCTV and witness accounts say otherwise. Still no remorse.

More than happy to re sign him after he has served his penalty.

How do you possibly want a block who is on a intensive community order to be representing the club week in week out?

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

If he appeals he could get a harsher sentence.

But I expect the prosecution to appeal.

I don't think they can say anymore until the NRL Integrity unit investigates and hands down a finding...

Pissweak. They can sack him now. And they should.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Prosecution have got 28 days to appeal this sentence.

They went after Haynes and the JDB.

I wouldn’t appeal it if I was Junior, but remember whilst his guilty finding survives, I think his victims are going take him and pa to the cleaners.

I this Juniors sentence will set new low standards of punishment in NSW.

Get out of jail free. What a joke.
