Ben Te'o cleared by police

[magpie4ever]

lol

the incident happened at the Browneye in September

the Herald Sun had reported on his behaviour minus the alleged assault

My point stands they all went with the story at the same time.

This is following the pattern of Brett Stewart's incident.

incorrect

they only decided to report it on October 9 after the story had got out on October 8

they had previously known about it since September and chose to not mention it once

Big assumption.

maybe it will end the same http://www.smh.com.au/sport/panthers-take-break-as-lewis-gets-hitched-20110122-1a0i6.html

STEWART SAYS NO

BRETT STEWART is likely to knock back a lucrative offer by News Ltd to settle a defamation case. The Manly star is believed to be between $300,000 and $400,000 out of pocket after covering legal expenses. He was found not guilty of sexual assault allegations in September. It is understood the Manly fullback is holding out for a bigger payout. News recently settled another defamation matter filed by former Parramatta Eels chief executive Denis Fitzgerald.

Big assumption.

errr it's a fact

Firstly , carney was suspended for a year after the raiders sacking. Not the roosters sacking.


In relation to johns , I don't condone what he did. But he shouldn't be punished for the rest of his life because of his actions when he was a player. They were hardly bad enough to ban him from all future RL related employment.

In regards to Dugan , the club had other avenues of punishment. They could have fined him , sacked him to reserve grade. If every player that is sacked by a club is made to sit out a year that is totally arbitrary. There needs to be someone independent that reviews the sacking , and that's exactly what happened here.


Btw , there's a little thing called forgiveness. You should try it sometime.

Plus people acting like its only sports stars that do this...because every day people don't so this sort of stuff hey

Once again - Franklin, have a look at the front page of today's Herald Sun and your namesake Buddy.
The Jurrah story has been front page on The Age, the Herald sun, the Adelaide Advertiser and the Alice Springs News. You obviously have no idea how big AFL scandals are in the flogball states.

Is the Teo story in that paper? The Franklin's not in DT or the Herald. That's the point

 

[El Diablo]

was Weedler shown on 9 Melbourne?

The guy went to a party. Something happened and police were called. They conducted an investigation and decided that no charges were to be laid.

What exactly were Souths supposed to report?

Are NRL clubs supposed to speak to the NRL everytime police get called to anything that players are attending?

Personally, yeah. I think they should. Just so the NRL media unit can address the situation if need be without being blind sided.

Not a slight on Souths.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Apparently she is now going to make a formal statement to the police.

Pity she didn't do that earlier.

For those who missed - and the many who have trolled - Kate Lewis will give a formal statement to police in coming days. Pressing charges.

Next week though. Hey what's another 7 days when you've already waited for 4 weeks?

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

This shit is still going on?

ffs.

The NRL didn't have an issue with it apparently. Only New Limited made it out to be an issue with it's headline "NRL fury over South Sydney Rabbitohs' cover-up of Ben Te'o incident".

An article from The Australian says different, "The integrity unit was only made aware of the allegations on Tuesday but Doyle (NRL COO Jim Doyle) claimed South Sydney had not been remiss in handling the case."

[eels_fan]

The police should laugh her out of the station

Going to the media first, and waiting 5 weeks to say anything loses all credibility in my opinion.

Weedler & 9 probably encouraging her to press charges to keep their stories going

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

If she's already admitted that she attacked him first, she will also be charged with assault.

 

[El Diablo]

it has not been established as a fact she was punched

 

[Big Sam]

The investigation's already been dropped once you f**king belmont, you think the police are suddenly going to find a wealth of new knowledge because Danny Weidler's on the case?

 

[SaraSassypants]

It makes no sense at all. Police were at the scene just after it happened. Why didn't Police press charges at the time? In the Greg Bird case his girlfriend refused to testify against him at the time but the Police pursued and charged him anyway. Wouldn't this case have been the same if it looked obvious that there was an assault?

I think it depends on how serious the assault was.

If there was 'blood everywhere' like she claims id be staggered if they didnt pursue it. Particularly given the profile of those involved.
