Judiciary Charges 2019

[BranVan3000]

I’m sorry but anybody want to explain how it wasn’t a low grade careless tackle?

 

[skeepe]

What kind of kangaroo court is this?

8.45pm: Judiciary chairman Bellew is telling the panel to consider whether Adaqm Pompey's evidence is "influenced by a sense of loyalty to another professional footballer" in reference to his view that "what happens on the field should stay on the field".

The supposed victim gives evidence that there was no gouge, he felt nothing, and the bloody judiciary chairman of all people tells the panel to treat that testimony with suspicion.

Seriously?

I liked JWH's defence personally. Apparently he flinched!

6.25pm: Waerea-Hargreaves's key defence is around Liam Knight's left arm striking him in the face as he was falling (see the full incident below).

"I was hoping Liam Knight was going to fall into my chest. But as soon as I flinched [as a result of the contact my face], it opened me up to where he fell on my bicep," he says.

"It was a swinging arm [to my face]. I think if anyone is dealt with the same situation they're going to flinch. He clipped me across the chin."

NRL counsel Peter McGrath has suggested Waerea-Hargreaves braced for contact in his tackle rather than reacted by flinching, to which Waerea-Hargreaves says 'no not at all".

Yep. It was all because Liam Knight hit JWH with a swinging arm, apparently. Funny stuff.

The vision though skeepe was very incriminating, what was his fingers doing there performing a lobotomy lol so how many weeks did the young bloke get ??

Anyway, Adam Pompey clearly said that he felt no contact with his eyes.

Are the judiciary panel saying that Adam Pompey is not a reliable witness to testify about whether or not contact was made to the eyes of Adam Pompey?

 

[skeepe]

And yet, that’s exactly what they did.

Kangaroo court.

I have no idea why my factual post was deleted. Anyway, Adam Pompey clearly said that he felt no contact with his eyes.

You make a fair point, than what’s the purpose of allowing a witness to testify??

And yet, that’s exactly what they did.

Kangaroo court.

Didn’t help that the Warriors player agreed with the final question to the effect of “do you agree with the belief that what happens on the field, stays on the field? YES

Just blew his own evidence out of the water

 

[carcharias]

Guilty as shit.

 

[skeepe]

Guilty as shit.

So you know better than Adam Pompey whether Adam Pompey’s eyes we’re contacted do you?

Fascinating.

I know they’ve found him guilty as shit

 

[skeepe]

I wonder what Adam Pompey thinks about the judiciary calling him a liar

 

[skeepe]

Pompey also denied any gouging by Young, responding with "no" to repeated questioning about feeling any contact, pressure or pain to his eyes.

"I didn't feel anything at all," Pompey said.

Apparently the judiciary panel know better than he does about what actually happened.

Ah so JWH was protecting him from falling too suddenly and wanted to gently carry him to the grass, but Knight viciously lashed out at JWH causing his momentum to increase as he went into the tackle

Makes sense

Apparently the judiciary panel know better than he does about what actually happened.

You insist on ignoring that the guy you are hanging your outrage on also screwed up saying his last statement agreeing what happens on the field, stays on the field, but enjoy your outrage.

As Carch said “guilty as shit”

Mate, the visions pretty damning. Players are never going to dob on each other. It's the unspoken bro code. Munster said the same shit about McGuire, got him off and then we've had the worst season of gouges I can remember. I'm glad they're going by the vision now and not whether a complaint is made. Hopefully it rubs the shit out of the game.

 

[carcharias]

Haha but but but ....

There’s a bloody video of him doing it.

The video isn’t conclusive. Looks to me like he was going for the ball.
