What threats?

What threats?

any threats

are you suggesting some threats are ok?

 

[adamkungl]

if you chose a life in the public profile, be prepared to either live your life to a certain standard or run the risk of shit coming out

*Unless you're a female journo

abuse and threats are not ok

**Unless you're a female journo, and it's published in a widely read national newspaper

*** Using the term 'journo' as loosely as possible when applied to old Beccy

what about "stop leaving me abusive messages or I'll go to the police"??

 

[POPEYE]

lucky?

if you chose a life in the public profile, be prepared to either live your life to a certain standard or run the risk of shit coming out

you do realise this isn't contained to RL players?

Cry me a f**king river . . . like so many others I'm just happy to not have been caught for most of the naughty things I've done

You are the only one talking about threats. You are creating a strawman.

You suggested that Foran made threats when there is no evidence of that.

Some people have suggested Foran giving her a spray might be justified. No one talked about threats.

If she was abused I doubt it was in her capacity as a woman but in her capacity as a rugby league muck racking gossip journalist. You don't get to spread horrid, vicious rumours about people and then hide behind your gender. No deal.

remember Teo refused to speak to Weidler. Nothing to do with him as a ranga but a rubbish journo. I doubt any other journo wouldn't of copped the same

Wilson's husband is quoted in the article as describing Foran's behaviour as "threats".

An even less reputable source than his wife

 

[myrrh ken]

Fair enough - didn't see that.

I'm sure police can pursue the text if Hartigan gives it. Why hasn't he instead of making a press statement?

 

[TheFrog]

They wanted the NRL to do their dirty work for them. They should have realised the NRL would be disinclined to assist.

 

[shiznit]

I think Foran moving back home to Auckland is proving to be the right move for him....

You have the SMH and DT taking pot shots at him....

And it looks like the NZ Herald have stuck up for him...

Maybe I'm gullible, but I tend to believe him, and whats more all the hard evidence was presented to the NRL previously, so he's probably still got the wherewithal to sink Foran without trace should he care to do so. He should either do so or STFU.

 

[Incorrect]

Yeah Hartigan would want to have proof of these threats.... An aggrieved widower might be given some leeway to blow off a bit of steam but making these kinds of allegations in such a public forum could/should get him in to a spot of bother if he's going on little more than hearsay... In any case the texts will be easily retrieved as evidence if either Hartigan or Foran wish to pursue it in an effort to confirm or deny depending on which side of the fence you are....

Personally I don't buy this stuff that Wilson was noticeably shaken or horrified... Only thing she ever was shaken from was probably the DT's

 

[insert.pause]

There wouldn't be a journo around who hasn't copped it before from someone they have reported on, Wilson gave as good as she got. She showed a callous disregard for the well known mental health problems of Foran for a cheap headline. She didn't care about Foran beyond embarrassing him and the NRL. Without disregarding the sensitivity around her death, and I feel for her family, I doubt it's a story if she were still alive. I certainly don't think journos who were close to her, like Webster, should be reporting on it.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

^and as has been said Foran probably had no idea that she was sick. I had no idea until this story broke and she'd alread gone to the big members bar in the sky by then.

using mental health is a great excuse for gambling hundreds of thousands away, getting a move to NZ and taking the heat off having a dodgy mate

when did Rothfield move to NZ?

 

[Nice Beaver]

when did Rothfield move to NZ?

Last month.

He is now Foran's "significant other"

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

reading some of the posts in here and the celebrations around the treatment of people (let alone women), no wonder there is such a stigma associated with our game

How? The stigma is caused by agenda, driven from people like Wilson. Why was it ok for her to day in day out give it to football players, and their families, yet now she is being treated unfairly? Is it because she's dead?
