If he's guilty of any crime, throw the book at him. He's a repeat offender and should be shown the door. Having said that, it appears he was king hit... what a misleading headline.

And for the record, we aren't "Canterbury", we haven't been for NINE years.

You's will always be Canterbury.

I like most others dont bother keeping up as to wether u's are the mitsubishi or sydney or blah blah blah whatever bulldogs.

I am eagerly awaiting all the Souths fans who are surely going to come in to bat for Ben Roberts....

Well, not the thread starter, but his hypocritical nature was never in doubt :lol:

The guy was bashed by a group of people as the story says. But him going back to the nightclub and resisting arrest is just stupid.

Where are all the Roosters fans asking him to be kicked out etc :sarcasm:
Looks like you want another Roosters v Souths thread again. Lame.

3. Tim Smith (eels) - Drunk and Dissorderly x2

4. David Faiumu (cowboys) - Charged with Assault

5. Johnathan Thurston (cowboys) - Charged with Public Drunkiness

6. Ben Roberts (Bulldogs) - resisting arrest and assault

It's unfortunate that he plays for the Bulldogs.

If he played for the Eels, he'd pretend to join a rehab clinic for a week and then would be right back training with the main squad within a few days.

pretend to join? Tim smith paid his own way into that clinic and has been seeking help...
Tim owned up to his problem, Ben Roberts just gets criminal charges instead huh....

please explain why you class these two as law breakers?

i suppose you think Carey is the innocent one and his GF is the criminal because she was the one glassed :lol:

and don't say you didn't say they weren't breaking the law as you first put them in your reply when this was asked

Sorry but didnt Timmah bag me for claiming that bulldogs players were by far the most likely too break a law and end up in the headlines?

I don't consider those 2 as law breakers. This is just a cut n paste job of RL incidents in thus far 08

It will be interesting to see if we get 25 pages of unmitigated outrage with this thread like we got with Fa'alogo yesterday...

8 hours later and this thread did not live up to my lofty expectations. I wonder why? :sarcasm:

The thread needs to be re-named.

what I get from the investigation - He wasnt charged for king hit - he had been king hit earlier in the night - police wanted to investigate and clearly roberts didnt want it go any further.

I dont blame him - alot more players get assaulted than papers find out about but most choose not to prosecute or go any further because no matter what they become a culprit and get branded.

Also occuring in Wollongong - we all know that there is most likely a racist element.

Even ask some of the kiwi's who play for or play against the dragons are wary of going out in wollongong.

Is it just me or do you only pop up when it has something to do with race ?

Victim mentality.

There is a very real chance that he was concussed. If you have ever had concussion then you would know it doesn't exactly leave you in the best state to be making decisions about anything. Especially when you are told not to go directly to sleep.

There is also a very large chance that the dude is just a tool.
