Jackson Topine sues Bulldogs

[Maximus]

This place is turning into sooks ville.

And you are lead-sook. You had cry and did a "leave braith alone" sook because people said he was hated.

 

[Chins get the wins]

I can't believe how many deadshit boomers can't separate punishment from standard training.

Actually I can sadly. There's a reason they're deadshits

Do you actually think this is some sort of abuse? Nothing in it

 

[Bazal]

Depends what it was and how bad it was. A bit of context will help. But as usual a lot of you have made up your minds based on one side of the story which is financially motivated.

Why are you so hung up on the finances? It's a civil matter that's what it deals with.

If it came out that everything he said was fact, would you disagree with him being compensated?

Hyperbole doesn't make your point more valid guy. Hazing in any work environment has been considered bullying for twenty years. The only people equating that with abuse are the people spinning their wheels to defend it for some reason

Umina Panther was a better troll. Best stick to scraping barnacles off yachts you can't afford.

Hazing IS completely valid for elite sporting organisations not that this was even that

And you can obviously point to the legislation exempting professional sporting organisations from workplace health and safety and discrimination laws, I assume

No it's not. Most major sports specifically ban hazing.

RFM didn't do enough wrestling this week the lazy boy , typical lazy effort we saw at the Dogs for years and we accepted, not Ciraldo!

That's the type of sh** we weeded out and he went to weak desperate club!

I’m just glad we can get the true version of events, what actually happened. From someone that was there, obviously.

It's not hazing it's training! The weed couldn't handle it, the weed is out!

The dogs are insured so no skin off our nose and the sport of RL suffers if the weed wins... so pray he doesn't.

The Dragons have won more games this year than the Bulldogs.

We are above u on the ladder... hahaha

Like I said previously there is a line between punishment and abuse. I guess the courts will now decide what that is. I'm sure if the bulldogs are innocent they will fight it out until the death and not settle

I agree with you Simmo, right up until settling is an admission of guilt. Lots of reasons for settling; top of the list is often life is too short…

Lol. You’re an idiot.

And yet the "weak desperate club" has still won more games despite having the "lazy shit that needed to be weeded out".

Bro u are getting pumped by a team we beat 3 weeks ago!

You've played the titans, tigers, dolphins You've had an easy draw.

We've played Melbourne, roosters, Cronulla, Parra.

Watch the game bro and your ex Bulldogs pick up RFM, Brown and Flanagan haha

Court f**ken sucks. Plenty of reason to settle tight there tbh.

Tbh the most common outcome in a civil matter is both sides kinda lose. That's why so many settle, it's meaningless in terms of gauging who was in the right

For me the key isn’t that he was made to do extra wrestling. That probably does happen anywhere.

I think the problem starts when he showed signs of physical distress and the trainer allegedly ignored that and made him keep going.

It’s still not that long since Keith Titmuss died after a what was described as an “inappropriately tough” training session. Clubs have a duty of care to their players, I’d argue that ignoring signs of severe physical distress breach that duty in a significant way.

This is it 100%. Nobody with a brain thinks Dogs are the only club that employ some extra wrestling as a punishment. The way it was allegedly conducted is the crux of the issue. Some people probably didn't bother to read the specifics.

Yep.

Pissants like Braith think that the NRL can’t afford to lose this case. But training and discipline methods can and do change over time.

What the NRL absolutely can’t afford is another Keith Titmuss.
