Lui pleads guilty to girlfriend assault and banned for one year by ARLC

[BunniesMan]

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

Go f**k yourself. Lui has been convincted for assaulting a pregnant girlfriend. Inglis admitted to pushing his girlfriend to protect her from a possible self harm situation and has never been convicted of anything. Comparing Inglis to Lui is the height of stupidity and ignorance.

Players that have been convicted, players that have had an assault of this kind proven in a court of law should be banned for life.

Go back and read the articles on the Lui case. What Inglis is alleged to have done doesn't compare in any way.

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.

I agree,I wanted Lui punted the first time he belted his girlfriend,but now he should never return,fair dinkum what are the Cowboys thinking agreeing to this proposal,hopefully the league extend his holiday,not reduce it.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

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

Hahahaha! :sarcasm:

May as well scrap the Women in League round if we let grubs like this back into the game.

Bullshit.

Violence against women is violence against women.

Why has Ingliss's girlfriend got two black eyes ?

Because GI had to save her from herself twice.

after reading that he sounds like he is sorry for what he did. for that reason id reinstate him, have to feel for the guy he's been through a lot

Should be a very short meeting with the ARLC! A simple phone call would have sufficed something like this:

Cowboys CEO: We would like our well paid halfback allowed to play again please. He has seen a psych who thinks he is doing ok and he is training well with the lads, he has even apologised to everyone.
ARLC: you having a laugh? click as the phone hangs up

Girlfriend back's Robert Lui bid to get playing again

Ben Dorries
The Courier-Mail
July 26, 2012 12:00AM

BANNED Robert Lui has found support in his bid to return to football from an unlikely source - the woman he admitted assaulting.

Taleah Backo, the mother of Lui's one-year-old son, was the victim of an assault last year for which Lui was placed on a two-year good behaviour bond and fined $2000.

But the couple have bonded in Townsville this year and have been undergoing joint counselling sessions with a psychologist who has also overseen Lui's rehabilitation program.

As Lui flies to Sydney today to meet with Australian Rugby League Commission interim boss Shane Mattiske to plead for his playing ban to be overturned, Backo is providing support.

Cowboys player welfare manager Kevin Marty confirmed the couple were attending regular counselling sessions together.

Lui told The Courier-Mail: "Taleah always asks me when I am going to play footy again - she tells me she wishes I was out there playing footy again.

"I just tell her it is week by week. She supports me.

"We watch the footy on TV together at my mum's place or at her house with her family.

"I've also been spending as much time as I can with my son, watching him grow up."

It is unlikely Lui will know his fate tonight when he and Cowboys CEO Peter Jourdain meet with Mattiske to try to end the footballer's one-year playing ban.

The meeting is scheduled for 5pm at commission headquarters but it is almost certain there will be no immediate decision and likely the ARLC will take extra time to consider the matter.

There are a range of issues to consider but the Cowboys are seeking clarification because they understood that the ban only applied to the NRL, and they are keen for Lui to at least return to lower-level football.

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?

You mean breached sensitive QLDer mods rules
:lol:

Extend the ban as a lesson to anyone who tries to worm their way out of a sentence in the future.

Or you know, deregister him from all clubs.

 

[MacDougall]

If his ex and her family, and the players closest to him can forgive him, and we can assume they know a lot more about the situation than we do, then I think our opinions are irrelevant.

 

[gronkathon]

They forgave him the first time. It is the exact same cycle as with WT only this time he faced the full process and was found guilty

 

[Charlie124]

Would the Cows be pushing for this if they didn't have halfback and hooker troubles?

Tell me more about these halfback and hooker troubles.

Thurston is...well, Thurston. Thompson has only been out a few weeks and is back this week or next, and in his absence, Michael Morgan has been in great form along with new hooker recruit, Anthony Mitchell. Not to mention Blake Leary who has big wraps on him not even getting a look in.

Aside from all that, Lui can go f**k himself, we don't need him, we never did and I'm disappointed we even felt the need to sign him in the first place.

There in lies the truth,the court ruling was a farce.

Might want to do some reading about spousal abuse before going on with this "oh she forgave him, it must be ok" nonsense.

He's done it twice that we know of. He'll do it again. He'll keep doing it. Wife bashers are filth, and do not deserve to be in our game

 

[BunniesMan]

You, like me, like everyone else not involved directly, knows very little about the situation. It's arrogant of you to act like you know when you don't know shit.

Hence why I added the family part. If he is watching footy games with her family then I assume they at least tolerate his presence ergo have forgiven him to some extent. Definitely not condoning his behaviour, but I can't say I'm the type to judge someone for life on something. Honestly if he has a problem with the drink and did it when he was blacked out then how is that any different to somebody having a psychotic episode doing it? Guarantee it'd be taken differently. But alas, I don't care about the bloke at all so I'm not going to defend him.

"I just tell her it is week by week. She supports me.

Further proof he's a dumb shit. It was a year ban, not a 'week by week' thing.

Doesn't look like there's any Qld mods assigned to this section. If you have any problems, raise them with admin by email.

Otherwise, could you make your victimised cries a little quieter. Trying to have reasonable conversation.
