Junior Vaivai stood down after assault conviction

[Maroubra Eel]

He pled guilty though.

Dont confuse Poupou please.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I don't agree with what he has done, however if he doesn't have a history of violence or performing stupid acts like, I believe he deserves a second chance.

The kid is still young and everyone does stupid things in their life. Kearney and Osbourne should read him the riot act, and if he steps out of line again then his contract will be terminated.

Was it the judge who said this guy used a metal bar?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He pled guilty though.

Probably thought he'd get a reduced sentence for an early plea.

Probably thought he'd get a reduced sentence for an early plea.

Or hoping for a non conviction. Either way, if he pleads guilty to the charges layed before him then under the court of law he is guilty of those crimes. He must have had some bad legal advice, or was undoubtadly guilty to plead so just days after the incident occured.

Ramming someones head into a metal bar (bed post) and hitting them on the head with a metal bar are fairly similar acts of violence. It would all depend on the wind-up really.

 

[jason taylor]

I think it might be the legal advice. It seems his lawyer argued for a non conviction.

 

[sportive cupid]

Mick I didnt know anything about the court case.I think I read the post wrong.I should have said

Was it the judge who said he smashed he gfs head into a metal bed post?

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I'd say with the photographic evidence and the victims account it would be a pretty simple case.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

if he pleads guilty to the charges layed before him then under the court of law he is guilty of those crimes.

No, he has been found guilty of those crimes. He's legally guilty but it doesn't mean he did the crime.

The only people who know the truth of that are him and his girlfriend.

For the record, I'm sure he did it. But none of us can know for certain - a conviction literally doesn't prove anything.

 

[sportive cupid]

well it seems like someone did it .

Who was there at the time who could have done it?

Guess it's a 50/50 chance either way ehh?

It proves it under the eyes of the law, which is the only opinion that matters.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I reckon Vaivai was framed.

Let's think who would benefit from Vaivai being convicted of a crime... I'd look very closely at any off contract centres at his new club.

Matters to whom?

 

[caylo]

He did go to court. He smashed his girlfriends head into a metal bed post.

Maybe they were getting freaky in bed? some girls like it rough

 

[Eels Dude]

Matters to whom?

To any organisations that refuse employment to people convicted of serious crimes. Or obtaining a work visa to the UK for the same reasons among other things.

Well mate, most footy fans are none of those things.

Sponsors might care though; I guess we'll find out how much.

I'm a footy fan and I don't tolerate violence against women.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Sounds like you're a chauvenist as well then.

And I take it you'll be looking for a new club to follow if Vaivai is retained.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

They won't retain him mate.
