Also I want to praise the Cowboys fans. They're not defending him just because he's their player. Sometimes fans moral boundaries weaken slightly when it involves a player from their team. The Cowboys fans haven't done that and I respect it.

Pity Inglis has never been found guilty.

Pity I believe his 'victims' word about what happened.

Inglis being thrown in the same boat as Lui is disgraceful and only done by people with extreme bias.

I was praising Cowboys fans for not being biased, you ED are the most biased bloke on this forum.

f**k off you small man, don't you have a meeting with Clive Palmer scheduled to discuss how the CIA are using the Greens and the AFL to destroy this country.

A more accurate comparison to Lui would be Junior Vaivai. As soon as he was found guilty I was all for the club getting rid of him and I was proud of my club for doing that.

Greg Inglis avoids conviction after admitting to girlfriend assault

UPDATE 1.37pm: MELBOURNE Storm star Greg Inglis has been ordered to attend a men's behavioural program after admitting to an assault on his girlfriend.
Greg Inglis assault charges

A charge of recklessly causing injury was dropped in Sunshine Magistrates' Court today, while Inglis was not required to make a plea in relation to an unlawful assault charge, which will be dealt with through a diversion program.

Inglis, 23, was ordered to attend a behavioural amendment group and pay $3000 to Women's Health west.

He has since reconciled with girlfriend Sally Robinson, who appeared with Inglis in court today.

“It was in the best interests of all parties that I have today accepted the issuing of this diversion order,” Greg Inglis said in a statement issued by his club.

“This was the right decision for Sally’s welfare and privacy.”

Outside court, Storm CEO Matt Hanson read from a prepared statement, asking that the couple be left alone to deal with an “intensely private matter”.

"The club will continue to offer counseling services to both Sally and Greg," Mr Hanson said.

"At all times, our priorities have been the health and safety and wellbeing of Sally and Greg and respect for the judicial process.

"This has obviously been an extremely difficiult time for Sally and Greg."

Melbourne Storm chairman, Dr Rob Moodie, said the club would always be vehemently opposed to any situation that endangers the health, safety and wellbeing of all women.

“We are absolutely committed to a duty of care to our players, our players’ partners and their families,” Dr Moodie said.

Police became involved last August after an incident at the couple's home in Melbourne's west.

Inglis's barrister, Robert Richter QC, told Magistrate Lionel Winton-Smith that Inglis had never hurt her before.

He said he had pushed her out of agitation after she "got in his face".

Mr Winton-Smith said he would not usually recommend a diversion program, but there were special circumstances in this case and Ms Robinson did not want charges brought in the first place.

He said he was satisfied Inglis was very remorseful about the incident and found that he was a suitable candidate for a diversion program.

Read the f**king quotes to see what he admitted to. He admitted to pushing her.

His "victim" later said he was protecting her.

I don't see Lui's victim saying anything like that in the quotes regarding this topic.

Comparing what Inglis did to what Lui did is laughable. Like I said before, the more accurate comparison is Vaivai and my reaction to the Vaivai incident is exactly the same reaction Cowboys fans are having here and why I'm praising them.

And this is my last post in reply to you, I prefer to stick to the topic of the thread and not go offtopic like you seem to insist on doing.

"Indefinite suspension" = until we decide that he is the best option we have available in the club to play halfback.

Correct. The Cowboys get some problems in their halves and all of a sudden Lui will be cured and ready to return.

Look I have never meet Robert Lui but have heard from some people I trust that he was a very polite and likeable person.

It is obvious that he has some massive problems with his temper and he should be stood down for a lengthy ban.

I can think of a number of certain other players that have done some pretty dispecable things and are still playing with their clubs. One player seems to have been found out by the kama gods as he has been virtually injuried since being found guilty but avoiding jail.

I think in time Robert Lui should be able to play NRL again. Hopefully being a father will help him mature and set a good example for his kid. I don't think you can deny him the right to never play the game again but I do feel the penalty should be harsh and that he gets cleared to return by an truely independent medical/professional panel not just when it suits the Cowboys for him to return.

Don't often agree with MG, but what is the point of having a Women in League round if the women in league are being belted by the players?

Rub him out. For the length of his bond, minimum.

again, f**k all of you and your inability to read.. i dont give a f**k if lui is deregistered, never plays the game again, falls of the face of the earth.. fact of the matter is i dont give a shit about him.

I just lol @ the cowboys 'supporters' who are saying they will stop supporting the club because Lui is on the roster.. LOL..

where are all the carney haters?? the guy was driving drunk and couldve KILLED MULTIPLE PEOPLE if he had crashed.. but because all of u gronks are trying to be these courageous white knights what Lui did is obviously 10000000x worse than that. give me a break.

anyways, continue piling on and on and on.. maybe a woman will come in and read this thread and wanna rip her clothes off because of how heroic you all are by calling Lui a scumbag.

Your reaction is the abnormal one you f**ktard, most normal peoples reaction to this would range from disgust to outrage.

Ignoring the fact you were apparently dropped on your head as a child, which Cowboys supporters are saying they'll stop supporting the club? A lot of fans were pissed off when we signed him, pissed off when he played and are pissed off now, but it doesn't mean we stop supporting the club.

I anticipate that Lui might be suspended for the rest of the season, go through extensive counselling - then maybe, just maybe, he will get a shot next year.

I don't expect the NRL to intervene, because they have made it clear in the past that they will only get involved if they feel a club is not punishing players adequately for off field misdemeanours.

I am amazed there has been no statement from the NRL. There is clear precident set for this with players like Latu, he needs to be gone from the game. No excuses, you just don't behave like that and expect to be allowed to play in a high profile game where your image can earn you milions.

As an employer myself I am all for supporting my staff through tough times but there is a line and beating up your pregnant girlfreiend is a no brainer sacking offence.

Greg Bird & Greg Inglis did the same thing but because there star's it got swept under the carpet, in fact Bird glassed his girl-friend & got away with it in the courts; now a lesser player in Lui has did it you watch the NRL do a backflip & crack down on it & deregister him.
