I have this a rung below the May incident. Both as stupid as each other, but May had more time to consider what he was doing. Soni seems more spur of the moment, you would hope anyway. If it was premediated I'd bump it up a few rungs.

Its definitely a rung below the actual May incident, but its several rungs above the incident that saw May get the sack.

If there is conclusive video footage of the Garrick incident, then he needs to be terminated.

@Kilkenny is right about due process if he was going to sacked regardless of what the offence would be called.

The Garrick footage to me actually looks worse than Hopgood. It is only one angle though.

Yeah but we are pissing on our brand if we accept this

May got sacked for using the club's GF to talk shit about his incident basically painting himself as some kind of victim. The two aren't separate things.

They are two separate incidents that have a relationship with each other.

I thought it was harsh to sack him over the post (which I thought was pretty innocuous), but I thought he was incredibly lucky to not be sacked for the actual incident.

Kenny and sorrenson on the Marty John’s show now

Yep f**k him off @Luke Bowden

Punishing sexual assault is more important than winning

This has nothing to do with me.

In all seriousness, don’t tag me in this sort of thing.

@Luke Bowden your obsession makes sense now bro

You’re obsessed. That’s clear.

Fair way to label it but it's the reason it couldn't be ignored. He got a second chance then showed he'd learned nothing and tainted the club's success.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

This is a pretty good watch.

 

[Iamback]

I'm not arguing he should be charged I'm arguing it's a dog act which it is twice. Although if it happens at a club with a woman you can bet there'd be a complaint.

Again though based off a video?

That is my point. I admit the video looks damning but it doesn't tell the full story.

Hence why no action can be taken

Come on mate. It's clear cut and absolutely no doubt what he's done

 

[Iamback]

No dramas with that if the nrl integrity unit conducted an investigation and they had sufficient evidence to terminate his nrl contract than so be it..

Maybe there is another camera angle that the nrl has that isnt is clear as to where his hand or fingers are placed and it actually basically clears soni of anything more serious... hence only being given the notice he was....

People dont have a clue whats gone on behind closed doors yet are throwing the book at him...

it didnt look good but that doenst mean he is guity of any offence... or that he doesnt deserve due process.

Unless your Hopgood or work for the nrl integrity unit than id suggest no one really knows the extent of what happened.

Correct. A due process here

If Mitchell Pearce gets 6 weeks for pretend to have a dog suck him off the field...

Surely IF someone fingers another players ass on the field...He getting more than a warning letter.

I believe If it could be proven, harsher action would have been taken.

At this stage a warning letter. That says a lot.

Wait… this all happened on the field?

Why are people comparing it to the Tyrone May incident….

People forget Pearce also pushed himself on a woman that night without her consent. Was only a kiss but people only remember the dog.

Yes because the video shows it was a dog act.
