Rising Rabbitohs star Kirisome Auva'a in court after bashing a woman after a wedding

[mxlegend99]

Punishment is long overdue. But atleast its a far more appropriate punishment then the week that Souths decided he deserved.

 

[insert.pause]

How has Ferguson gotten a free pass when he has been basically suspended for 1 and a half years?

As for Auva'a, appropriate penalty, i think. Shame it has happened this late. The NRL in the past, under Gallop, was seen as reactive and will continue to be seen as reactive

They haven't reacted to anything other than the court proceedings finishing.

 

[Mr Spock!]

Wonder who's going to sign him now.

Picked a weird time tot test his value on the market.

 

[cleary89]

Auvaa did those programs too between the verdict and sentencing

And Ferguson sat the season out for being a serial dickhead who abandoned his club and then he broke his leg so there was no opportunity for a comeback last year. Frankly he hasn't been punished for his sexual assault at all if we are taking a hard line

Maybe Auvaa can go break his leg now so he doesn't have a punishment too then?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Put your club loyalties aside - ferguson and auva'a are both dickheads.

Judge Conlon, still with an axe to grind with the NRL, has labelled Auvv'a's penalty 'crazy' and complained that if you want to rehabilitate someone you shouldn't take away their employment. Only, Auvv'a is still employed, he is only suspended from playing! Thank Christ this idiot is no longer involved in the judiciary process. Why he's even still publicly commenting about NRL issues is bizzare.

and the judiciary has been really consistent hasn't it ......

This idiot from $ouff$ refused to do and lied about "rehabilitation" .
He deserves everything he got and probably more if thats the reason he was booted from the Storm

I don't like Rothfield, but does anyone honestly believe that the NRL would have done anything about this prick from $ouff$ if there was not so much bad publicity.
Of course they would not have.

Lets get them on the how the NRL has completely stuffed up how juniors register to play the game now.

yes

they had said they would even before the Sloth got upset that his mate Gallen was fined

 

[Generalzod]

He should not have been allowed to play in the Grand Final.....

 

[Wizardman]

What does Bunniesman think of the NRL punishment? I know he was very critical of Robert Lui being in our game.

Well done NRL....made the right call.

 

[rabbitohs95]

Let's just hope they stay consistent with this kind of stuff.

If you have or haven't been signed to a club, no matter how high or low profile you are, you're banned for x amount of time, cop a fine, do community service of some degree. And can there be a clause saying you can't sign with another code ffs.

Make it a quick ordeal, figure the ban in a week max and get on with everything. Don't need merkins who do this stuff ruining the game for everyone else.

If they are consistent it is fine but if they drop this as a precedent when it's convenient then it becomes a bs ad hoc decision just because Buzz had a tanty. We'll see next time a player f**ks up when Buzz is in a good mood. Will they be as harsh without the media spotlight?

why the long face?

 

[BranVan3000]

Maybe Auvaa can go break his leg now so he doesn't have a punishment too then?

Maybe Auva'a just needs to sexually assault somebody this year and then next year he can say he was already suspended, so it doesn't count!

Do you really think Smith and co listen to a thing that alcoholic wanker says? That's the reason he's got into for them, because they refuse to tow the line that David Galoot used to.

 

[Rabbits20]

The punishment is fair enough. What he did was unacceptable.

Let's see some consistency now in how these serious issues are handled.

At least we now have the right decision from the NRL.

But Rothfield didn't have much to do with the outcome. The NRL would have came to the same punishment today anyway.

 

[Danish]

Weak as piss suspension. 12 months should have been the absolute minimum, plus I'd have tacked on an extra month for every month that's passed since he agreed to attend that course but not found the time or care to do it.

Less suspension for bashing a woman than what carney got for having a drink back in his Canberra days. Says it all really

Yes they would have taken action. The punishment would have been handed out today regardless of Rothfield.
