Ohhhhh poor toddy.... its all about how hard it is for you mate

Im sure you will cry in yourcornflakes one morning and thenmove on - while everyone else deals withthe shit sandwich the rest of their career

For Greenberg, as long as he can tell Raaay first to gain maximum exposure for his profile, that's what it's all about for him

Someone using a trainee under his prior tutelage as main witness in the punishment, seems very flawed to me

Feel for parra. Having this shit hang over your season. We went through it in 2014. They should just get whatever needs to be done and fans and the club can get on with the rest of the year.

Even if they hand it down today, there is still an appeal process with NRL Appeals Committee, chaired by former High Court Justice Ian Callinan, QC, so it's not likely to be resolved ASAP anyway.

Yep.. Sure I did...

​In other Parramatta news it emerged they will not learn until at least the end of the week the make-up of the final penalty to be handed down by the NRL for the club's salary cap rorting.

If you're gonna call someone out for lying, best make sure you have your facts right.

Maybe this exchange will help a few posters on here to realise the implications of what they post.

I think to sue for defamation it would need to be proven that the audience to which you are claiming you have been defamed thinks the way you do about yourself, and not the way the defamer makes you out to be.

Or, to give a real example:
No matter how stupid anyone on here makes out Raaaay or Fitz to be, they can't sue the site for defamation (or a poster for posting it), because the audience to which the post is intended already thinks that Raaaay or Fitz are stupid. (etc)
It doesn't mean they ARE stupid, but if that is the perception of them in a certain circle, then you can't sue someone in that circle for saying you are to others in that circle - you haven't been defamed to anyone, because they already thought that of you.

Sort of...it depends on whether the published material has the potential to damage the complainant's reputation. Generally saying that someone is an idiot is unlikely to cause too much trouble on a forum.

If you go making allegations about people's specific acts (e.g. Director X did Y), and the allegations are not substantively true, and the alleged behaviour could conceivable damage reputation.....you've got a problem.

Defamation is part of the potential shit storm that the interweb can cause.

Let's not forget the chiropractor in Woy Woy who recently used very racist and rude words towards Nova Peris. He was charged by the cops with using a carriage service to cause offence.
