Ben Te'o cleared by police

[nöyd]

f**k this shit! 16 pages already. yet any discussion about relevant football issues struggles to get past half of the first page until it degenerates into my club your club crap.

you lot a no better than gutter journos when some scandalous story hits the press.

 

[taxidriver]

An emphatic yes.

censorship at its finest

 

[blaza88z]

obviously I have absolutely no idea what happened here but the fact she didn't press charges and went through media before going through the police stinks of Teo being innocent, whatever she done was obviously pretty serious to provoke him, not that it's acceptable to hit a woman but we should all wait and see before labelling Teo a woman basher

Richardson said Te'o made the phone call from Norman's phone.

oh Richo, you're too good :lol:

 

[Haffa]

I 'Tink' this produced another Moffo scoop which was on the money. :lol:

 

[beave]

When the f**k has T'eo ever been known as a f**king star??????

 

[Tommy Smith]

censorship at its finest

I almost got banned for stating that 'you know who' did 'you know what' despite providing a link where 'you know who' admitted in court to doing 'you know what'.

Who knows, maybe i'll get another PM even for saying this. So this is what it was like to live in East Germany. f**king Stasi.

It actually makes more sense if Te'o made the call given she hasn't pressed charges. Her story may not line up if she hasn't pressed charges but has gone straight to the media.

Not excusing Te'o for anything though. If this is true he needs to be sacked from his club at the very least and maybe deregistered for a period.

 

[Feej]

your move ch9

Trying to get their money back perhaps?

Ahhh, the "Home of Rugby League"...

Good call.

Since he played Origin.

Did anyone else think Weidler was more concerned with trumpeting his own networks story on this than actually asking some legit questions???

[Moffo]

That's very sad to see, poor girl

 

[firechild]

That is not good enough. He's 100kg. She's about half that. Unless you're in direct immediate danger you do not need to hit a woman, even if she hits you first.

You have to look at it from a legal perspective and not a moral one. I think most of us would agree this is not at all acceptable but legally, a person can be considered "in danger" if someone has assaulted (in the immediate context, obviously not if they were assaulted some time ago) or is in the process of assaulting them. A woman hitting a man is just as much assault as a man hitting a woman. Without knowing the details, he may still be charged but if she hit him first then she should certainly be charged.

Since he played Origin.

Pffffffft, Ben Ikin played origin.............. He was no f**king star either........

 

[parraparraparra]

I hope she is ok

 

[Card Shark]

Pffffffft, Ben Ikin played origin.............. He was no f**king star either........

But he's great on the television thing

 

[herbert henry1908]

It seems like there are two witnesses to this story.

So unless Boyd & Norman want to lie to the police and magistrate , im confident we'll hear the full story.

 

[magpie4ever]

I'm trying hard to come up with a reason why it would be justified that a 100 kg bloke hitting a 60 kg woman giving her a black eye (someone posted fractured cheekbone)

Personal safety? She would need to be carrying a weapon (knife, gun, steel pipe etc) and be having a real go with it. But, why the blackeye.

Sorry, I struggling to justify the black eye; maybe some bruises on the arms holding her back - but a Black Eye.
