Is Sportal.com a reputable 'source' to post such things up or not? Will be in the media very soon anyway I guess, 2gb are reporting on their twitter.

Its fine mate

Not even remotely surprising to me. I've heard that he was never the poster boy they led us to believe.

 

[Gronk]

What a brave woman. I'm guessing that speaking out in the community she lives in would be even more difficult.

He split with first wife of 13 years, Arwa El-Masri, last year and remarried recently.

Why would you ask that?

 

[Rhyno]

Never expected that from Hazem

My limited knowledge of some cultures is that while not promoting violence against women, they kinda let it slide as men are seen as being in charge.

In our multi-cultural society that everyone seems to be okay with, why can't someone who is violent against women just claim they identify with a culture that allows it?

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

While this looks very bad......worth remembering that he has not been convicted of anything yet.

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

Maybe because there is no provision in the various criminal codes that excuses violent crime on the grounds of cultural identification I guess.*

* there are/were some strange provisions applying to some tribal communities.

 

[T.S Quint]

Piece of shit Canterbury scum.

 

[oldmancraigy]

Why would you ask that?

Because it is an extremely unreported offence. Perhaps we are seeing the blokes true colours? I dunno, just wondering.

 

[Parra47]

;-)

I knew it would eventually come out

What's the good word Stagger, is he confirmed ?

Schulte? ...yeah he's coming, just not sure when it's confirmed

 

[Parra47]

Schulte? ...yeah he's coming, just not sure when it's confirmed

Great, thanks mate. He's been a bit of a try scorer for the Cowboys this year, think he scored 17; well done Parra.

 

[Fanbase]

Who else are we getting staggereel? What have you heard?

 

[hindy111]

Avenger your a toss pot...... To suggest BA came to the club in a worse shape then SK or Ricky. You toss pot.

He came with a much better squad and if he doesn't make the top 8 next year id flick him. No excuses

 

[hindy111]

I actually reckon we finish top 4 - Its a good squad

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

How's your woman going?

Great, thanks mate. He's been a bit of a try scorer for the Cowboys this year, think he scored 17; well done Parra.

And that's on top of the 38 their other winger scored. Didn't watch them much but maybe if they went to the right side more he would have a few more. Not too concerned about tries though, he rucks the ball outwell in the 20's and from those I've spoken to he's good in the air, his ability to get the ball over the line is a bonus.

He also plays on the right, Kieran has a pretty good left to right cross field kick will be good seeing 2 tall kids in Gutherson and Schulte contesting those kicks.
