Was thinking about his situation last night after seeing him get a ball to the neither region on the fan.

Life in prison, must of been a lot.

I didn't want to believe it was him. Who did?

Now it's important we treat him as innocent until proven guilty.

But I'm glad we can openly put a name to the allegations and, if we think about it, while his name was suppressed, it cast a shadow over all those former players, around his age.

In NZ you call this drug 'P', don't you? It's 'Ice' in NSW. A lot of the country towns where I live (Blue Mountains/Central West NSW) have significant meth problems. It looks horrible for addicts. We've had violent incidents in our unit block here in Katoomba which involved people on meth. It's scary stuff.

 

[Penrose_11]

Yeah it’s P or meth over here. Scary stuff indeed. Unfortunately looks like he’s got himself caught up in something both him and his family are going to pay for, for many years to come. Possession would’ve been a slap with a wet bus ticket but importing, that’s a different kettle of fish

 

[Fufu Andronez]

No one has been found guilty of anything yet.

 

[Meth]

No one has been found guilty of anything yet.

Yes, this is exactly right.

Let's keep this in the front of our minds in any discussion on this forum.

I never understood why people called him a wanker because of the way he celebrated after a try.

He was a wanker even when they were losing.

i thibk you’ve got the wrong guy

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Wasn’t there a story a few months back that outed the accused in this matter as Joseph Parker? Or have they both got caught up in something?

 

[Penrose_11]

Both outed this week in media as involved in something. Both claiming innocence. Possibly linked but probably not....who knows these days

Not sure if it's the same case or not, both were after name suppression. Neither got it - Parker wasn't actually charged with anything as I recall, but clearly Vatuvei has been and it's rather serious

Two different (but similar) things

 

[spear tackle]

Probably best to wait til after the hearing before commenting, he is entitled to that.

Everytime Manu Vatuvei,
would score a try,
he'd point to his friend, Sonny Fai,
in the sky.

He was even cool enough to do this in a NRL Grand Final.

You are surely thinking of someone else?

Not sure how pointing to the sky in tribute to his dead friend and team mate made him a wanker...

 

[Leber]

Nobody called him a wanker.

He never "showponied" after a try except for the salute to Fai.

Was one of my favourites... no longer...
