Jackson Topine sues Bulldogs

[Maximus]

Lol this will turn into a 'pick the Boomer idiot' thread ASAP.

Pretty disgraceful from Ciraldo

It had gotten to that point around post 6.

 

[dogslife]

We're going to get safe spaces at nrl clubs before GTA 6 aren't we?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

f**k me, got a few years to hit that milestone. Closer to that than 30 though, and now I'm depressed....

You’re not 52 are you? Keep clear of SE Asia if you are.

 

[_Johnsy]

Would that type of treatment be acceptable in any workplace? No.

I have absolutely NFI why Ciraldo thought it was acceptable at his workplace.

This doesn't end cheaply for the doggies. I'm expecting a confidential out of court settlement just before this matter is heard.

 

[Penrith fan]

Are they running a football team or a kindergarten?

 

[_Johnsy]

Please... Your club and the NRL will be praying the Dogs pay him quietly or win in court (NRL will have to help the Dogs), this will impact every single Club and team sport basically worldwide!

Penrith brag about the Army training camp (Brisbane too previously) where players are deprived of sleep... Wait till those players who no longer play hear about this and sue also.

Hazing & deliberately punishing, and singling one person out at training isn't the same as a tough, uncompromising, mentally and physically challenging pre season camp. The fact you think they are comparable speaks volumes.

not appropriate in either.

those experiences are a little bit different to this (a shared team experience (where everyone is affected) vs a bloke getting physically destroyed where at least 30 people watched and were forced to not intervene)

For a few more months. Haven't been to SE Asia since Covid. What's changed?

Every club hazes and deliberately punishes! You think Ciraldo is the 1st one? please!

The fact that you think in the future one soft C*** isn't going to complain about sleep deprivation then you are deluded! Besides moronic fans like yourself I almost guarantee you every single NRL personality will support the Bulldogs on this, to much is at stake!

1st it was 10, then the senior members of the squad now it's 36 players?

We will see what happens but I highly doubt 36 players had a go with him... If no CCTV cameras are available it's word against word and every single person that day will keep quiet unless they never want to play NRL football and be involved in NRL again!

Topine lawyer knows this and is coming out with outrages wording to try and get sympathy from idiots who only read the headline.

Guy isn’t tough enough for rugby league

What players went through in the 80s on top of having a full time job

modern day players are pampered prima Donnas

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Aussie legends who are 52 dropping like flies there.

 

[dogslife]

Psychological torture isn't ok.

If this is what Ciraldo and Gould were so vocal about defending late last year, I don't see how either of them survive.

We've had to endure reading your shit for 20 years, how is this any different?

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Some very tough, hard men posting on LU.

 

[Eelectrica]

Are they running a football team or a kindergarten?

Why can't we have both?

No, i didn't say that Ciraldo was the first one to do it, but you already knew that.

What I did say was: Hazing & deliberately punishing, and singling one person out at training isn't the same as a tough, uncompromising, mentally and physically challenging pre season camp. The fact you think they are comparable speaks volumes.

Sleep deprivation has absolutely nothing to do with Topines law suit. Again, you already knew that.

The differentiation between the scenarios you've used two is stark. You're using a false equivalence to attempt to try and make a point. Give up.

 

[Marshall_magic]

The truth might be somewhere in the middle then

It almost always does.

This guy really knows how to read the room of late

Nothing screams “tough” like a large group of blokes physically hazing a young bloke.
