Have you ever venture west of Paddington and outside of the middle class?

Justifying f**ked up relationships with classism, nice.
Do you think western sydney people are incapable of not calling their partners pieces of shit?

Fwiw I grew up west of parra, and i've seen family members say some pretty nasty shit to each other growing up.
I still don't think its the behaviour of the majority, nor would I use it to justify my own behaviour.

I'm not casting any judgments about their relationship unlike yourself.

But yeah the unfortunates do speak like that. It's not as shocking as the papers want to make you believe.

I grew in penrith. And certainly know people who had parents who carried on like this, but it certainly wasnt the norm. My heart goes out to anyone who has grown up in an environment where they lead to believe that this is normal behaviour.

Is there a reason why this bloke hasn't been stood down by Toddys discretion under the "no fault" policy yet ?

Dylan Walker says hello, if you need a precedent Toddy.

The video, allegedly was sent along with other videos as evidence when the DV charges were first supplied.

An old video just released. it's not a new video.

It was her home too, she had every right to be there.

Incident aside, which is obviously bad and should warrant punishment, this instantly got me thinking: do clubs themselves do covert work on their own players? PI's, computer hackers, etc.

Now got a great reason to get rid of a grossly overpaid deadweight who was stinking the joint up. I wouldn't put it past them - after all, this is big money we're talking about, and the competitive advantages in the game are thin.

Wests Tigers five-eighth Josh Reynolds has been charged with a domestic violence offence by NSW Police.

In a statement released on Thursday, the Wests Tigers said Reynolds planned to vigorously defend the charge.

Both Reynolds and the club have been in communication with the NRL Integrity Unit regarding the matter.

"The NRL takes any allegation of violence or disrespect towards women extremely seriously," the NRL said in a statement on Thursday.

"The Integrity Unit is seeking further information from NSW Police before determining any immediate action."

Reynolds has spent the past two seasons with Wests Tigers after seven years at Canterbury.

Due to the situation being an ongoing legal matter, Wests Tigers said they would be making no further comment.

DV has nothing whatever to do with where you live. It happens everywhere.

Perhaps it is that he isn't scheduled to play a game for another 2 months. The same would apply to Sivo.

Interesting to see how greenburgers responds to this, imagine letting Matt Lodge break into a home and abuse a family to play round 1 but not letting josh play because he was recorded having a heated argument

"Not letting him play because he was recorded having a heated argument" is a stretch. He's currently subject to a domestic violence complaint which is a matter before the courts.

(also he played 7 NRL games last year, was he really in line for a Round 1 call up?)

ie if there is a video that might leak well stand him down, if not all good. Maybe Josh can get Fifitas reps to make a case to the IU for no stand down deal.

Fainu isn't scheduled to play a game for months and months, given his shoulder issue, and subsequent infection.

He has been officially stood down.

Why not the same for Josh and Sivo ?
Dylan Walker being the precedent ( alleged violence against women )

Or do we expect a sudden announcement from Toddy a week out from Round 1?

I could be wrong, but isnt Fainu is jail pending trial? If so, well I'm not exactly sure how you'd expect Todd to let him play
