Seems this one was tucked away on page 30 of the Terrorgraph and didn't make its way onto their website. Perhaps because no Manly player was involved or possibly because nothing better should be expected of those suffering myxomatosis.

wow.. don't know how that one slipped through..
let's examine in more detail...
SOUTH Sydney NRL player Fetuli Talanoa has been cleared of affray but fined for publicly urinating in front of police.
ahhh.. talanoa.. one of souffs finest players..
His lawyer Kirk Dailly said the offensive conduct was a "brain snap" and a "stupid act"
sounds like his lawyer was describing talanoa's efforts for souffs on the field
Magistrate Robbie Williams convicted and fined Talanoa $400 on Thursday
the magistrate then used the money from the fine to bribe people to buy his latest album.
Downing Centre Local Court was told the 24-year-old New Zealand born Tongan player had already been fined $3800 by the Rabbitohs for the public urination
surprised souffs haven't provided talanoa's urine with sponsorship credits
Const Haigh said he spoke to the three men, who included Talanoa and Rabbitohs teammate Eddy Pettybourne, Mr Manu's cousin.
He said Pettybourne was crying and all three had bloodshot eyes.
not like souffs players to have a cry is it?
The constable later viewed CCTV footage taken from inside Subway and concluded the main aggressor was Talanoa, who at one stage shoved Ms Pettybourne out of the way.
good to see he can rough up a woman, but couldn't tackle adrian purtell or luke covell.
Another police officer said the three men "reeked" of alcohol, Mr Pettybourne vomited in a flower bed and Talanoa's knuckles were bloodied.
not wanting to continue the souffs 'stereotype'... but wow, you couldn't script it any better...
