Complaint of racial abuse in Roosters v Broncos

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Maybe Spencer was singing Flash Funk's theme song?


Ezra Mam's new nickname should be "Flash Funk".

With Latrell Mitchell now piling on saying Leniu should get 12 weeks "and then some" for his actions. (https://www.foxsports.com.au/news/n...y/news-story/2284a340114dd034df446e589a8fb471)

These blokes should pull their heads in, focus on football and let the process deal with this issue. Ain’t gonna happen though.

Considering Latrell's own experiences, I can understand where he is coming from. Just making public statements about punishments for an allegation which, as yet is unproven (but might be) does not help anyone at this time.

As if Guntrell wasn't going to have a vocal opinion on this matter..

The only good thing about these incidents is that it helps identify LU posters true colours.

Ironically they're the same ones who give AFL shit for having bigger racism problems.

Take a look in the mirror, f**king idiots.

 

[jack coburn]

Look if he did it then give him 12 weeks. Sets a good precedent for everyone.
But please don't tell the yank's that someone got abused and was in the sheds crying after the game.
Tell the bloke to get effed and enjoy the next 12wks on the sideline the racist POS.

You’d have to hope it’d be at least ten weeks if proven (which seems likely)

Is it still racist is the person who SAYS “you are a monkey” is also brown?

The level of ‘racism’ here is kids stuff compared to the wholesale abuse and defamatory comments happening on twitter, instagram and reddit mate. Doesn’t make it okay but it’s reasonably sober here in comparison. Not just on this issue but anything pretty much

Ffs yes. Singh:Symonds

There lies the issue.

At this stage there are no mics that picked it up.

IF Leinu has an alternate thing he said then it becomes a he/he said issue.

Then you run the risk of becoming a kangaroo court in assuming guilt based on such comments

Except there are witnesses who complained immediately. Walter’s raised it on the spot. I’d suggest the weight of evidence at this stage supports the claim. I also think the NRL won’t cop nonsense from the players if they start making up stories on this one.

It very likely does support it but we have only heard the one side of it, There have been a few off field cases where the story reported was horrible.

Only for when it played out in court and both sides presented their case reality was different.

So I often wait and see all the evidence 1st

Wyong Cup winners can't be bald.

Ehh, i guess it was a Kiwi vs an indigenous guy. Yeh, ok

Someone mentioned earlier that Brandy said on radio this morning that the NRL had the audio. Not sure if it was confirmed what was actually on the audio though.

The audio I have heard only picks up when the complaint is made, From memory they we will behind the play.

Hopefully a touchie picked it up while measuring the 10m or it will be long and messy

Again the weight of evidence. At the time a number of players came forward and made the complaint that it was said. None came forward then or since and said it wasn’t. The complaint by the players was contemporaneous. The defence that it wasn’t said will be slated days after. A good tribunal will notice that and it will sway them. Here is another thing. It’s much easier to tell the truth than lie in an administrative process like this. If people choose to lie or obfuscate it will be duely noted. This is a place of work and employees need to tread carefully in situations like these. If he’s found to have done this and other players make shit up to support him that can be actionable in itself.

Catholics can discriminate against Protestants and both are religious. Same difference.
