He can earn his place back in society doing some other job. As I said, playing NRL is not a right. Not everyone can play NRL, whether it is because of a lack of talent or other reasons. Committing a serious crime like he did (and like Lui and Latu and others have done) should mean they will never again be registered. The NRL did it to Latu, so why not others?
There are varying levels of mistake. Taking illicit drugs is a mistake just like stomping on someone's head is a mistake. Not all mistakes should be treated the same. You might be happy to cheer on people who try to kill others, but I never will be.
He has not done everything he can. As far as I can tell he has never even bothered to apologise to his victim, and in the interviews he has done since being released, he still tries to pin the blame on his victim by bringing up that he mouthed off at him and blah blah blah.
Playing in the NRL is a profession, if he has the skill-set for that job, then he has every right to do it and you should never call people an embarrassment for supporting it.
Not all mistakes are treated the same, hence the different levels of punishment people receive for different acts.
I am not cheering on someone who tried to kill someone, he wasn't charged with attempted murder. He was charged with assault. And I am really not liking the fact that you are talking down to me just because I have a different view of how this should be treated. If you don't agree with the way this has been handled, then don't support it, but do not lord yourself of others cause you consider yourself righteous.
And do you know for a FACT that he hasn't reached out to his victim or is it 'as far as you can tell' from sitting behind your computer?
I have seen a fair few interviews of him since his release and have not heard or seen one of him bringing up that the victim was mouthing off. I have only seen videos of him showing remorse and regret for his actions.
So, please, post some links of these alleged interviews.
