Of those Issac Gordon is the most ridiculous.

Did the EXACT SAME THING as Lui, yet got a 3rd of the suspension

Take Watmough out of your list moron, he's never been charged with assault of any kind.

Didn't know if he had or not, just knew that his ex mrs had an avo out on him

But I'll leave him in there since it pisses you off

Haha, good enough reason to leave him in there.

I think the AVO got dropped early into it for whatever reasons, maybe she thought he wouldn't throw coins at her anymore.

Didn't Lui do it multiple times?

Though Vai Vai did as well. his only advantage was not being a first grader


We all know he did, although he was only charged once.


He bashed his pregnant GF while on the piss. Exact same thing that Gordon did. One got a 12 month ban, the other 10 games. Complete logical sentencing that :sarcasm:


Both should have been banned for life

I dont know how anthony cherrington escaped bans for what he did as well (although i guess 2 knee reconstructions is karma)

1st offence / 2nd offence - big difference in regards to anything in life. Do something wrong, it is frowned upon. Do it a 2nd time & they throw the book at ya.

Bit like Travis Burns.

If it were me, I'd wait until mad monday had passed to see if he's truly rehabilitated etc.

Its 3 now.

did his knee or ankle (can't remember what) in one of his first games back for the Jets and is out for another season :)


I think he needs to get a hold of karma and give him Issac Gordon's address

In the eyes of the law it was Lui's first offence too as all charges were dropped first time round.

If thats the basis for the difference in bans for the NRL then they would have a hard time getting that to hold up in court (Assuming the cowboys would have the ability to challenge such a ruling in court anyway).


Either way, both were excessively lenient sentences. Latu got chased out of the country for doing far less a few years back. No idea why these pieces of filth are allowed in our game.

I don't care what the psychologist says. The cowboys club should be ashamed of themselves for choosing to associate with this piece of human scum. He should have got a life ban and yet here he is thinking even 1 year is too much. He sickens me. He did the unforgivable and he should suffer the consequences. Playing in the NRL is a privilege he doesn't deserve. Let him go and get a real job.

Or, y'know, maybe it breached forum rules.

f**k Lui, we don't need him anyway. What the f**k are Mitchell, Morgan and Thompson doing wrong?

What annoys me about the article are the several references to how well he has been training since the suspension. Is that meant to have any relevance whatsoever? The guy bashed up his girlfriend, got suspended for a year, but hey, he has been training really well and should be allowed back early.

"But I really want to apologise ... and say sorry to everyone."

The fact that he doesn't even acknowledge the victim herself and instead lumps her in with the fans, players, club etc tells me that he has kind of missed the whole point.

Your club signed a bloke who hit his GF so she would stop hurting herself.
Just sayin is all.
