That is one Brother and none of us know if that even happened.

Or are you talking about him wrestling the weirdo who went into the toilet and took a picture of Nathan pissing?

That’s like saying that all the Jennings boys are steroid using car thieves, because Micheal used roids
Michael raped his wife......

The circumstances don't matter he's response was violence and that's the first I heard it was in the toilets. My point was chins didn't just invent it. Exaggerate maybe but damn they aren't exactly moral beacons for society.

Is that what happened Kenty? Or we making shit up again…. You’re making a habit of this.

You seem intent on backing them and that's great you're a good faith first kinda guy but you've gotta accept public opinion is shot for them. It's over as far as their reputation goes.

I’m not backing them, They messed up and longer play for us, so I don’t care about them.

But that but how about people just stick with the facts…

It's terrifying Lukabell was a copper. "These blokes are good at footy so let them be"

Yeah, it’s terrible that the Cops would stick to just the facts hey…. You’re unbelievable Kenty. If you’re going to Quote someone, they have to have said what you’re quoting.

So I assume that since you’ve just incorrectly quoted me, you’ll admit that you made a mistake, because you are one of the only blokes on here that does… right…

What happened?
The word is he played a game of hide the sausage with a team mates partner. Wasn't there, so don't know if it's true or the circumstances behind it. We do know that where there is smoke, there is usually fire which is backed up by the Roosters telling him he is no longer part of their plans.
The thing with this situation is we have no idea what has happened, not our business. We don't know if Watson is husband of the year, or a complete and utter bastard. May could be comforting a desperately unhappy woman. Or maybe it was a drunken one night stand. Who knows and who is in a position to judge? Who is right and who is wrong is never easy and often many shades of grey.

To be fair to the Roosters, if the allegation is true, they had no choice but to get rid of of one of them. It's untenable.

Since Watson is the person in the relationship it makes sense they release May. That said, maybe they thought they can replace May easier than Watson, who knows? It's a mess, but let's not rush in labelling May a villain, when we are not privy to the facts.
This is true, but it's a pretty low act no matter the lead up.

As you said no matter what it's untenable, someone is hitting the bricks.

Both players allegedly involved add value to a footy team, I'd like to believe the Roosters made the decision more on moral grounds rather than who is the better player. Given their front row stocks I think they have and applaud them for it.

Yes it was wrong, I have never suggested otherwise but it wasn’t an act of violence against a female. It was an offence against a female, no question, but there was no violence involved and you shouldn’t suggest otherwise. As I have suggested on more than one occasion, the question that remains is who posted the video or videos in the public domain. That question has never fully been resolved, it wasn’t CHN, so given the rumours around whom it was it remains the big unknown? It is a shame that question has never been resolved, if it was you may not have liked the answer.
"Violence" can be interpreted many ways. It used to be pretty much confined to a physical act, but now it's more broad. I'm not sure that "emotional violence" is an accepted legal terminology, but it most definitely a term that is used and accepted among society.

Emotional Violence would be how an act left the victim emotionally after the fact. In the Tyrone case the women involved you would think would fall under that category. I do agree that labeling Tyrone a violent sex offender is hyperbolic, but can see why people go there.

So it’s a no for Terrell then?

If he did have an affair with a team mates Wife/ Girlfriend it’s not the end of the world, not great. But the bottom line is he is a good Footy player with a certain risk involved for team culture if signed.

What Tyrone did is far worse than a punch in the head imo.

I'll stop baiting poor Luke now and let people talk about signings, although we probably won't make any until mid next year.

If your back to talking signings, just read on fox sports an article about tonight’s NZ v Tonga game and the players with NO contract for 2026 who are putting themselves in the shop window to try and keep their careers going and our own John Hopoate fanboy Soni Luke was mentioned as a player with NO DEAL for 2026,
