also pretty poor form IF any other knights players were involved, seeing their 'mate' hung out to dry in GAOL whilst they are still earning hundreds of thousands of dollars playing footy

So why did Tilse say it was his own fault and give an apology?

because he did something wrong and owed an apology
the better question is why the other incidents of the night went basically unpunished, they hung tilse out to dry and shielded the others. Tilse being a good mate and all kept his mouth shut and owned up to his role.

action needed to be taken, the knights choose the lesser name to make an example off and take the heat off the others. Not too dissimilar to what we did to Irwin re: Carney mind you, but the initial point of this side track was to state thankfully, the raiders no longer seem to carry on with this nonsense, and the monaghan debacle is a perfect example of the culture change in the club.

So why did the NRL deregister him for 12 months then?

You guys are trying to make something out of nothing. If there was evidence that any other player did anything illegal the police would have picked it up and dealt with it. They didn't. You guys are trying to find things that the police couldn't - out of a news article of all things. You can't.

You have a bunch of hear-say and some text messages of two guys who did a pretty shit job of organising twenty tablets that could have been for anybody. You guys have nothing.

Yet when he highlight the hypocrisy of others bagging the Knights and conveniently forgetting about their own history...that's worth a laugh?

Some people are so naive to think that this is solely a Newcastle culture. Every single club in the NRL would have a drug taking culture, whether it be mixing Stillnox with red bull or taking Ecstacy. Head out to your teams favourite nightclub and check out which players have massive pupils and are pingin off their faces. It is only a matter of time before another club has a drug scandal. Plus it is a lot easier for a player to get up the next morning for training after a night out if they have only popped a pill or 2 rather than downing 15 schooners.

im not usually one to quote myself but apparently your roid rage is impairing your ability to read so:
because he did something wrong

ive never said tilse never did anything wrong. The arguement has always been, he took the big fall to save the big names and he was a good enough mate to them to let them hang him out to dry and keep his mouth shut.

Are you for real?

Let me get this straight. You're saying that Dane Tilse was quite happy to have sexual assault allegations squared against him, to lose his contract at the Knights worth $80,000 a year and also be de-registered from the NRL causing him further financial loss?

All because he was a good mate to other people who were happy for him to take the fall for something he supposedly didn't do?

Maybe Wicks should have called you. You're obviously on the good shit.

because he did something wrong

three times ive said it... i suspect if anyone is on the good shit, it might be you, given you've missed it 3 times now that ive clearly said tilse did something wrong and paid the price

others did something and did not pay the price, and part of the reason for that was tilse kept his mouth shut whilst being made out like the only bloke who offended

Another woman, who says she was sexually assaulted by then Newcastle Knights player Dane Tilse at Bathurst's Charles Sturt University, told the ABC she was afraid to press charges.
"There is no way. It's not like if he was just another guy (and) I would be going up (just) against him," said the woman, who did not wish to be identified.
"If I'm going up against Dane Tilse, I'm going up against him, the football team, the NRL, their fans. I'm not going to take that on."

Yeah, Dane Tilse was a scape goat!

I guess the woman identifying Dane Tilse as her attacker was all part of the cover up! Did they pay her off?

You're so f**king naive.

You need to learn to read mate, this will be the 5th time i said it.

5TH f**king TIME, and the last, if you cant get it through your thick head this time, i give up!

Dane Tilse offended. He was not the only one to do so on that night, he was the only one to be sacked and de-registered, the knights needed to take action and they certainly werent going to take action against one of their big names, so they punted Tilse, and perhaps rightly so, and they made him their fall guy for the others as well

You said that Tilse was sacked and deregistered because he was made a scape goat for OTHER PEOPLE'S behaviour you f**kin moron.

Which other players had allegations of sexual assault levelled at them?

so as long as you arent accused of sexual assault, the rest is all good.
Never mind that around 10 other players were roaming around and breaking into dorm rooms at the Bathurst Uni pissed basically escaped unpunished.

and for what its worth, as far as the law is concerned Tilse has committed no crime, the girl lodged no complaint and the police filed no charges. That is not to excuse his actions, which were unacceptable. He was in the wrong and he was punished for it. Others were not.

Houston ordered 150 pills, yet wasn't convicted of anything. Welcome to the justice system.

"Basically"

That's your weasil word to get around the fact that the other players were fined by the club.

Wow, roaming around! Using fire extinguishers! Riding pushbikes!

How many chances did Todd Carney have again?
