Dylan Brown - charged sexual touching

[T.S Quint]

Hmm. Was surprised at the stand down after reading the coverage earlier in the day outside court.

I guess the stand down comes down to Dylan fighting it (and all power too him if he believes he's not guilty/there's not eenough evidence), and because the charges relate to conduct of that intimate nature. With their responsibility for "the product" then I guess I can't blame the NRL for invoking the stand down, as things are sadly all about optics and media pressure etc.

But questions for the NRL remain around the inconsistency of how this stand down appears to be applied/not applied/challenged/waived... and also the likely severity of any court penalty for Dylan if found guilty of what (from reports) seems to relate to five counts of the two handed bike horn behaviour within a two minute timeframe. It just doesn't seem like this behaviour would be at the jail sentence end of the sexual touching charge penalty to me?

There isn't a chance he would go to prison for this alleged crime. The NRl will be handing down a bigger punishment than the courts likely will.

If he ends up in jail for going the grope 1, 2,5 or even 25 times on a drunken night out at the pub then I'm going to stop paying taxes. I don't want those dollars being used to incarcerate someone for something so ridiculous...

Yeah look, 24 times, you might cop that, but 25?

I say unleash hell!

Would you pay your taxes for incarcerating tax dodgers?

 

[T.S Quint]

I was perfectly fine at the start of the day just being cranky at Brown for doing something dumb and getting himself into that position to begin with, going against the rest of his team's wishes.

Now I am also pissed off at the NRL, Andrew Abdo, Ray Hadley, PVL and just any f**ker that gets in my line of sight tonight. f**k this.

 

[eels_fan]

I could cop him being stood down if the NRL was consistent, but precedent says you don’t get stood down for this charge.

either stand down every player who is awaiting a court process, or stand down none.

Its f**king bullshit

Woah.... That's a mindf**k.... I won't be able to sleep now....

If he wasn’t there being a f**kwit and thinking he is above the law, the NRL wouldnt have to step in.
I don’t agree with the inconsistency, (but that is the NRL on almost everything) but the dickhead is our second highest player going forward and he acted like a cock. I’m mostly angry at him

This is my thoughts as well if he comes out of it a better player and Human good for us , this season was a write off anyway

Actually we don't know if he was being a f**kwit at all. We weren't there and nothing has been proven yet.

Should he have been at the pub? Probably not due to the pact he and his teammates apparently agreed on, but there is no evidence yet to say he was acting like a cock.

So is brown not allowed to play until the court case? If, so when is the court date?

 

[Parra]

He didn’t have a contract

A kiss is not a contract

The next mention is June 28 when Dyl apparently intends to plead not guilty, so unless the cops drop the charge then there will be a proper trial date which may not be for 6 months for all we know

28th of June.

Yeah at the moment it looks like he's done for the year.

People expecting consistency from the NRL are asking too much for mine. This admin stood down 2 players over a filmed argument and push and shove about one stepping on the others shoes...but allowed 2 players who had, by all reports, had a more serious altercation and were subsequently arrested...to have a free pass and the sound of crickets since.

Haha come on brah

Jackie Boy and Latrell were just practising there war cry before the Allstars game

The media are reporting that his lawyer indicated to the court that he expects the matter should be resolved at the next court date.

That only really allows for two possible outcomes, of which one isnt pleading not guilty.

 

[the phantom menace]

I'm presuming the NRL stand down is only intended until the next court date... and then will be lifted allowing Dylan to play, even if found guilty and a court penalty of any type (community service order etc) is imposed.

So assuming even if found guilty that jail is an unlikely scenario given the nature of the counts of this charge, Dylan would be back Round 19 v Warriors?
