St George Illawarra Dragons NRL star Talatau Junior Amone is facing a serious charge over an alleged hammer attack on two roof workers.
Police on Thursday arrested the 20-year-old St George Illawarra Dragons five-eighth and charged him with reckless grievous bodily harm over the attack on November 15 in Warrawong.
Police will allege two male roofing contractors were working at a property in Vermont Rd when they became involved in an argument with Amone’s father, Talatau “Senior” Amone, 46, over vehicles being parked on a nature strip.
Police will allege the argument escalated into a physical altercation, when the attackers climbed onto the roof where one of the workers was hit with a hammer.
The 38-year-old man fell from the two-storey roof, landing on an air conditioning unit, causing serious injuries including fractured arms and damage to his hip.

He ran from the scene and was chased by two men on foot, police will allege.
The victim was treated by NSW Ambulance officers before being taken to Wollongong Hospital for treatment.
Amone Senior was arrested soon after the assault and charged.
He is currently bail refused.

Police established Strike Force Chicholm, involving Lake Illawarra detectives, to further investigate the incident.
They will allege “Junior” was identified as a suspect involved in the assault.

Junior made headlines earlier this week after he was involved in a fight with team-mate Zac Lomax.
Footage taken by a St George Illawarra fan showed Lomax and Amone having to be separated after a confrontation during the club’s three-day camp at Mollymook, south of Wollongong.
The 20-year-old local junior has progressed into the NRL side on a consistent basis this year, producing 11 try assists in 20 appearances.
He re-signed with St George Illawarrra for a further year, keeping him at the club until at least the end of 2024.

Wow…What a tool!

Dragons player Junior Amone will spend the night in police custody after being charged over an alleged hammer attack on a tradie near his Warrawong home last month. Amone, whose full name is Talatau Junior Amone, was arrested at his home on Thursday morning and charged with reckless grievous bodily harm in company, damaging property and intimidation.

Court documents seen by the Mercury said the victim parked his vehicle legally on the nature strip in Vermont Road before starting work on a two-storey building on the morning of Tuesday, November 15. Read more: Man accused of stabbing another near Harp Hotel named in court Amone's father and co-accused, Talatau 'Dal' Amone, allegedly came out of his home and walked towards the victim's car, parked across the road, then began taking photos of it. From the building's roof, the victim said: "Why are you taking photos of our car?" several times, to no response, and the senior Amone returned home.

But a short time later he allegedly returned, reached through the open driver's side window of the victim's vehicle and snapped something off - believed to be the indicator toggle - before discarding it on the road and returning home. About 11.20am, the senior Amone allegedly came out with his son - armed with a hammer - and an unknown male. Police alleged the younger Amone and the unknown man then jumped on the roof of the vehicle, causing major damage to the roof and smashing the windscreen.

The victim called triple-0 for help, while the two Amones and the third man allegedly climbed up a ladder onto the roof where he and his colleague were working. Junior Amone allegedly swung the hammer at the victim, who fled and jumped onto the roof of the neighbouring property. Police alleged Amone pursued him, continuing to swing the hammer. The victim reached the edge of the roof and, unable to go anywhere, turned to face Amone.

Amone allegedly lashed out with the hammer again and the victim stepped backwards, causing him to fall off the roof. He grabbed guttering in a bid to save himself, but it gave way. The victim fell to the ground, hitting an air-conditioning unit on the way down. From the roof, Amone allegedly yelled: "Get the f---ing c---". Police alleged the elder Amone and the unknown male climbed down the ladder, followed by the victim's workmate, who removed the ladder to stop Junior Amone from getting down.

A dog unit officer arrived on the scene a short time later and saw Amone on the roof with a hammer, before he moved out of sight. The unknown male ran behind the neighbouring property and the victim, fearful upon seeing him, managed to get himself off the ground and jump into the backyard of an adjoining property, before fleeing down a laneway. Amone and the other man allegedly chased him, before he sought refuge in a home. There he collapsed and called triple-0. Meanwhile Amone and the unknown man did not return to the Amone home; police said CCTV captured them running on Barbara Avenue towards Minnegang Street. Dal Amone returned to his home and told police he had been to the pool and was unaware what had happened.

He and his co-worker allegedly identified Junior Amone as the main aggressor. Police established crime scenes, including one at the Amone home. However, they said that while the home was covered by high-quality CCTV cameras, a search failed to uncover the system's hard drive and it appeared it had been unplugged. In an interview with police after his arrest on Thursday, Amone declined to comment. The 20-year-old did not appear at Wollongong Local Court on Thursday afternoon when his matter was mentioned, nor did he apply for bail and bail was formally refused. He will return to court on Friday.

I really dont want to give Dragons management any credit for forward thinking, but could this name change clusterf**k be an attempt at smokescreen?

If true, he’s cooked.

For heaven's sake, just when fans think there are a few glimmers of hope coming through in the juniors coming through, an idiotic, thuggish act like this occurs from one of them. Is Junior a moron who believes he is above the law, or just an overpaid wanker?

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

I give up. What was he thinking? Based on what has been reported he could have killed the poor worker. And here I was thinking a name change, a less than inspirational coach, a dysfunctional board, a poor playing roster and an under-performing recruitment team were all we had to worry about.
