F.O then...

I'm a lot more concerned about Rusty's apparenty chronic injuries than his attitude.

Tui did a lot of good work for us. Never spectacular but never really let us down either.

So....

I bet the knights are a bit nervous about their signing now.

Yeah I bet they are thrilled, anyway he's their problem now.

 

[Dav0c]

Are the warriors well behaved or is it just easier to f**k up in Aus?

 

[Diesel]

Although he hasn't been charged it makes me feel better he's not with the Warriors now, obviously there's still some issues there and the Warriors made a good decision to allow a release

There's definitely a culture of acting like a trackhead that's pretty prevalent among NRL players in Sydney especially, but that the Warriors seem to have largely been insulated from.

 

[what ever]

I actually think people need to realise this (as said on the clip). In some cases people purposely make trouble for NRL players and other sports (small poppy syndrome). As we do not know the whole situation i will try and not judge him, as i know for sure i have done things wrong in the past and thankfully i am not a sports star

Good call...I once stood in a pub and watched someone trying to bait a liquored Chris Cairns...Chris Cairns of all people, a cricketer of all things. To his credit, as fully liquored as he was- he downed glass and left the place.

Ol Rusty does have a reputation for attitude, but I tend to take every news snippet with a grain of salt until the facts are out. Lots of grey area here.
If I was an NRL player I'd avoid going out at all, the amount of drunk arsewipes wanting to get a bite out of you

 

[Izz]

Well, he's been formally charged with assault now: http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/9460171/Former-Kiwis-prop-Packer-charged-with-assault

 

[One Warrior]

Silly boy, glad he's not our concern anymore.

Yep, can't argue with that. Has massive potential but needs to drop the tude and lift the workload.
That said, I'd still like to know the full story. There must be more to it, although no excuse for smacking someone over, for sure

 

[Diesel]

This shows how dangerous he is to others with his attitude, he should've been trying to make an impression.

If charged, can he be kicked out of Australia?

He appears to have made an impression alright, certainly on at least one person.

Packer stood down from the Knights

 

[Mixmasterreece]

Errr worse than that.

Nrl making an example of him and not registering his contract
