Lets shoot the messenger (moron that he may be) , just to take the focus on the message, that once again inconsistency has reared its ugly head and a mongrel has belted a woman then lied about his "rehabilition" and intentions regarding the "rehabilitation".
The NRL refused to act when it should have and $ouff$ took the soft option to protect this filth.
I just hope this dickhead hasn't picked up a major injury from the slap on the wrist
It wasn't inconsistent, the NRL have said they wouldn't act until the court proceeding had completed, the legal proceeding was adjourned for 6 months, it had not been concluded until Friday of last week, the NRL are consulting with Souths over a penalty today.
Rothfield is a moron and has deliberately mislead people again, there was no secret plea that only the NRL knew about, Souths released a press release on the day the plea was made and stated the magistrate had adjourned the case until November 7, at which time she would evaluate his cooperation with court instructions and finalise the judgement.
Just like the Gallen breach notice a process has been followed and today the NRL suspended 15k of the original fine due to mitigating circumstances disclosed in Gallen's appeal. Rothfield would have the world believe Gallen didn't get his say and that he was robbed of any due process which was complete rubbish. I don't agree with the NRL backing down on the original fine but as a fair process has been followed I can accept it because I appreciate I don't kow what the mitigating circumstances are or the strength of the case for them made in his appeal.
