Rumours and Stuff

Two men aged 18 and 22 are fighting for their lives after a brutal stabbing in the carpark after a junior rugby league match.

The two stab victims and another man were allegedly attacked after the Under-20s match between Wentworthville Magpies and Penrith Brothers this morning at the Old Saleyards Reserve with one Wenty player suffering stab wounds to his neck.

Internal NRL emails obtained by The Daily Telegraph say that initial reports were of a brawl at the conclusion of the match as the teams were leaving the ground.

“Further information from Penrith Junior League officials suggests that there was a fight in carpark after the game. It appears that two men may have stabbed three Wenty players,” one of the internal emails claims.

“Police are looking for the brother of one of the Penrith Brothers players.”

Police said several men fled the scene at the football grounds on Gladstone Street, North Parramatta before they arrived.

“Police have been told a physical altercation occurred at the conclusion of a rugby league match, where three men were stabbed,” police said in a statement.

The injured men were treated by paramedics before being taken to Westmead Hospital, where two are reported to be in a serious condition.

NSW Ambulance said they treated three men with stab wounds, including an 18-year-old who suffered a stab wound to his neck and a 22-year-old who was stabbed in his torso now in a critical condition.

“When we arrived at the scene it was very alarming — these were brutal attacks,” Inspector Nathan Sheraton, duty operations manager of NSW Ambulance said.

“Wounds like this can cause an extensive amount of damage and often we can see the extent of damage done — so it is very concerning whenever we are called to jobs like this.

“Our paramedics did an exceptional job in providing life-saving treatment for the patients.

“Unfortunately, we have two men who are in a critical condition and will continue to undergo treatment in hospital.”

Police and the NSWRL are investigating the incident, which occurred moments after the end of the match.

It is unknown just yet whether the alleged stabbings involved players from the game or spectators.

NSWRL chief executive David Trodden will hold a telephone hook-up with club officials at 3pm to extract more details of the drama.

The NSWRL is co-operating with a police investigation.

What is the world coming too?????

Very sad. A Sunday afternoon to relax and reflect on your week and this happens. I guess we do not know the background to the story but I hate violence. Hope everyone is OK.

Seen him do really well in NSW cup with some big runs but with his limited time in 1st grade hasn't really impressed or shown those kind of carries. However he is still a baby..a big one at that.
So if he does go as well as Evans, Gower and maybe Alvaro and Terepo one would hope we have a hit list in mind.
Yes there are big wraps on Hughes and Hollis but you would want 1 or 2 seasoned forwards
I would be going hard for Adam Elliott. Good energy, has a good motor and wouldn't cost the earth..
I'm sure there are others but can't think of anyone else who may be off contract at the moment

Elliott is over priced. He is one of the 3 highest paid players at the Dogs. You do the maths.

 

[TheRam]

That's something BA has been able to fix in others and if we was still the coach at the time, I would trust he can fix it in Kelly too.

Let him fix Blake first.

Great attacking centre but gee he misses some tackles.

We ain’t going to get Jenko’s output and Jenko’s price tag from a lot of other players without taking a significant punt on them not being able to deliver

Let him fix Blake first.

I'm sure they are lookings at it. Coz fergo stayed back on the wing once whereas in the past, he came in and left the unmarked winger for the cover

The only way they can 'fix' Waqa Blake sprinting in is if Blake makes the tackle / shuts down the play. At the moment he is running in and grabbing air.

What have some Penrith players done? Heard something has gone on but no more information.

You’re probably thinking of the stabbings at the junior match yesterday

 

[Tooooks]

Heard two knights players breached COVID protocols by attending a junior match or something. Haven’t heard anything about the Panthers.

 

[Soto]

I don't think so
Foran
Jackson
Zelezniak
Napa
Hoppa
Next year
Cotric
Plus they apparently offered an embarrassing contract to him so he's cracked it and looking elsewhere...I'd have no issue giving him the money Evans is on

 

[Avenger]

I hear Siebold may not come back after his isolation.

Hey Ram
Do think we should start spreading ball more inside own half? I feel that game plan you scanned across would be perfect come finals. I hope BA received it.

How funny that 7yrs ago we talked about getting rid of soft forwards and needing tougher player and guys who can bust the line. Not these pillow like hard workers. And now we have some size and aggression we are performing like a contender.
Most mocked us. But hey we nailed it ram.

 

[Noise]

I hear Siebold may not come back after his isolation.

Yep. The guy has lost the plot.

 

[Eelogical]

Yep. The guy has lost the plot.

He probably walked across the border to NSW so he couldn't return to QLD.

 

[Dibs]

I hear Siebold may not come back after his isolation.

I reckon that’s a possibility but I don’t believe the rumour out there as to why he won’t be back

 

[Avenger]

I reckon that’s a possibility but I don’t believe the rumour out there as to why he won’t be back

I’ve heard no rumour on why just that he won’t be back.

 

[Dibs]

I’ve heard no rumour on why just that he won’t be back.

Well I’ve heard he won’t and a reason why but it’s laughable.

 

[Tooooks]

I wouldn’t be surprised if his family emergency is a nervous breakdown.

Another rumour is that Flanagan was dropped for disciplinary reasons.
