James Roberts

[thorson1987]

not going to disagree. Sadly the NRL look at the publicity generated rather than the specifics of the event, when Carney pissed in his own mouth there was some statistic suggesting that x amount of the population had seen it (no idea where they got the figure). more recently with Pearce and Norman it was pointed out by Paul Kent i think that Pearce got dragged through the media because you could show his video on tv, you couldnt show normans vid.

now this roberts one, unless there's video of him going off at the barmaid or trying to fight the bouncer the NRL wont step in. Roberts will deny doing nothing wrong and nothing will happen, at leats not publically. internally the broncos might be fining him or having a word to him. I would be concerned about the roid muncher on the door choking people, cos if he got jimmy the jet down, what's he going to do to the average person out there?

also to point out that those dragons, Havili (?) and lafai were reinstated after initially being stood down by the dragons. apparently the RLPA argued they should be reinstated despite being charged. the whole thing is all over the place in dealing with off field incidents

Re. The dragons players iirc the RLPA argued that the club didn't follow due process or something like that.

I'm sure the media could get CCTV footage if they really wanted to. They had no issue getting footage of Pearce trying to get a girl's attention in a club in 2014 and showing it as the primary story for 3 days.

As it is, James Roberts just doesn't rate as high on the news as Pearce.

That, and the media's pockets probably aren't as deep as the thoroughbreds

 

[SharkShocked]

Lol.

Even if charges are laid everything is still "alleged".

Goes to court, still alleged.

That changes when a verdict is handed down.

So seeing this will never go to court it will always be that what apparently happened is alleged (that is unless he comes out and says what happened is true).

so Todd Carney only allegedly urinated in his own mouth?

sadly from a legal view this is the case. you can show video of a gunman going on a rampage from 20 different cameras and it will still be "alleged". no wonder carney wants to sue the sharks, its only an allegation, he didnt really piss into his own mouth, it was a carney lookalike

Which is why people aren't solely judge on criminal charges or incidents.

If the bloke is a pest or a menace, clubs discipline or move them along. Has and will happen many more times, usually quicker on the less talented players.

As stated, I'm not sure the pub is keen to release it to anyone (NRL integrity unit included).

Did he really make contact with the mouth though?

 

[El Diablo]

That, and the media's pockets probably aren't as deep as the thoroughbreds

plus it's against the interests of a certain media organisation to publish bad press about a club they own

 

[Maroon4life]

Sounds like all you idiots want their to be something to this. You all bitch about nine lapping up bad news stories but you morons are just pigs at the trough as long as it's not your club.

Let it die, it's a massive beat up.

Yep, beat up indeed.

 

[johns_reds]

A bit like James Roberts, Darren Lockyer, Darius Boyd, Sam Thaiday, Karmichael Hunt all were?

Should of just taken pingers like Andrew Johns, then he wouldn't need to go to the bar for more beers

 

[Rabbit toes]

Be interesting to hear the contrasting commentary regarding this. Will fox shy away or heavily scrutinise. Will nein briefly mention it and make out its insignificant?

At a guess. 9 quietish, fox louder

If he did that then News Ltd would just buy the video.

Of course Roberts got beaten up, he was unconscious.

Yep, quick look over there >

 

[skeepe]

Played like he was still drunk tonight. Awful player.

 

[roostersrule2]

Pub probably doesn't want to show it because a security guard choked him out.

Still he's a shitmerkin.

 

[johns_reds]

Agreed, hasn't reached heights of last season, but looked a little better tonight then some of the crap he has dished up this year
