I agree with 90% of your post but take exception to this. Have you ever been through a bad break up? I have and even the people you thought were most sane turn crazy. Any sort of rational though goes out the window. You cant help but bring up raw emotions and argue with each other. If a chick asked for 200k to have an abortion, the smartest thing he could do was cut ties and get someone else to sort out the money she wanted rather than continuing to argue with her.

Nope. Never been through a bad break up. Usually it's her breaking up with me cos I'm insufferable and I pretty much accept it.

If a chick came to you and said I want 200k to have an abortion then what should he do? Yeh sweet, heres 200k = still shit human being according to you. Nah, have it, just charge me over 20k a year for 18 years = dead beat dad.

He paid her money because she asked for money to abort it.

The way that I have read it (and this probably has to do with the way that the media is conveying it) is that he paid her to have an abortion rather than her saying off her own bat "I don't want an abortion but I'll have one if you pay my 50 grand".

In which case, if she took the money, had an abortion and then went running to the media then she's got zero credibility in my book and it further reinforces my point about responsibility for ones own actions which, of course, you can level with.

Which part of the coverage states she asked for 50k in return as opposed to the other way around. Honest question. The article in the OP is really the only coverage/comment I have heard on the issue so far.

Seems that she gets to keep her anonymity in all of it?

Nothing could be further from the truth, mate.

Go on Facebook and have a look at any post on this topic and someone has posted her name and photo multiple times.

Not cool.

Any chance of seeing a receipt of her 50k payment to charity?

And question the victim's truthfulness? That'll be the day.

As I said in initial post, it is to do with personal responsibility and the only person whose responsibility is being called on the carpet is Cartwright's.

Lol lucky you. I've had a few, You look back and think "what was the point of doing x, y and z. It was over, why feel the need to get the upper hand".

I haven't kept as up to date with it as many people have but his new gf was reported as posting on fb that she came to him asking for 200k.

Sure, his new gf would say that but also his old gf would say she wouldn't.

Yeah. The only sort of reporting on her approaching him for money is by either social media or what you've told me.

Either way the whole thing is f**ked.

Sign of the times. On the radio the other day they said some stat that 22% of women would bang a married man while knowing he was married. Had people call up and brag about actively chasing married men and finding it funny when their wives found out.

I knew girls who bragged about banging married footballers who were 10 years older than them. I guess they are lucky the girls didn't run to the media because it would be front page news over multiple days apparently.

Why is it 'not cool'?

Does she have a right to anonymity that he doesn't? I thought she approached the press. If you are going to put him through the ringer for what both of you did, then you better jump in too.

Mate, last year a woman in Melbourne who was the victim of an alleged assault by an AFL player in an eatery was "outed" by a very prominent journo who gave out her name and details of her job. She went on to receive Death threats from club supporters.

What do you think is going to happen to this woman?

Assault victims require anonymity in these media reports and I can't imagine anyone would be against that.

Nothing illegal has gone on here. Not only that but so far she has approached the media on this issue and named names.

"The woman tried to contact Cartwright and people close to him when she was four weeks pregnant but she was stonewalled and, in frustration and not knowing who else to call, she called The Daily Telegraph."

Yeah after 4 weeks huh? Fkn bullshit. haha. A cycle is 4 weeks, even then you can go over, and then once you ARE pregnant you are dated back to the end of the last cycle.

“It was virtually a heads-up call to say that there was young lady claiming she had fallen pregnant to Bryce Cartwright and she was wanting the media to know about that relationship.”

Nice, well I'll be sure to let the media know should i get my end in some celeb female (unlikely).

"hey paul kent, FYI porked some lass from a netball team in Wollongong"

Farkkkk!

My biggest concern is that she'll be hounded and it's going to become an all out smear campaign against ALL of rugby league.

Where did the Penny's fans 200k demand come from?

I thought it was his ex-girlfriend who wanted 200k, not the girl in the article. Could be wrong, though.

nope
its still a private matter
only nosey parkers with nothing going on in their own lives would be interested in this crap

It is the use of the supposed "fixer" with ties to the Penny's club that is the story, not the young bloke getting a young girl pregnant.

The DT is the obvious point of contact when you've got relationship problems ... with a footballer.

Might have to test that theory and give Buzz a ring next time the missus gives me the cold shoulder.

"Not knowing who else to call", geez. Gus? Panthers reception? Show up and training and demand to speak to somebody?

f**k i dunno.

Who calls the DT!

And i am not blaming her, I am saying her course of action just seems ludicrous.

Let's look at the supposed facts.

1) Bryce got her pregnant. (Nobody doubts this)

2) She got offered 50,000 to have an abortion at a certain stage last year which she did. (Also appears this is not in doubt).

Not for the hazy part.

Why is she suddenly coming out about it now?

I sincerely feel for the woman and am almost on her side, but why didn't she come out when she was originally offered the 50k?

So many questions.
