Rumours and Stuff

Not necessarily. It could be another To Kill a Mockingbird scenario.

We need Atticus Finch!

He is currently innocent until proven guilty. Either way, let’s not forget the young lady here. If she was your daughter, how would you feel?

I would feel bloody horrible that i lived the last 20 years without any idea I had a daughter.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Regardless of what action the NRL take I reckon Jimmy Sparkles will stand him down pending further developments.

I'd be furious, but let's be honest here. If our kids were horrible merkins would we even admit it to ourselves? Your kids are like your footy team. You don't love them because they're good, you love them because they're yours.

Well, George Burgess was charged with the same offence last year, and was not stood down.

[strider]

[gaffer]

this is the way our luck goes dylan out for who knows how long and now cleary does a hammy so do they pick moses for SOO and that'll leave us to play who in the halves

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

was he suspended at all?

No but he stood down from playing a few months later then retired after being released at the end of the season. I'm not sure whether the legal case has been resolved yet.

 

[the phantom menace]

In February 2023 Burgess' matter/hearing was adjourned to October 2023. So a full 18 months after being charged in March 2022 and pleading not guilty.

EXCLUSIVE: NRL star George Burgess hints at bold footy comeback

After a troubled year that included retirement and rehab, embattled former Souths star George Burgess has dropped strong hints that he could be making a comeback to the field.

I doubt the club has anything more than what the NRL does with the "no fault stand down policy". But if it did have some sort of Code of conduct, does that mean if/when he is proven innocent the club can be sued?

That would likely depend on the terms and conditions of his contract.

What I assume would of happened is he was chatting her up and touched her on the thighs a few times which perhaps she was ok with. Few drinks later the conversation wasn't so smooth and does again. He wants to launch the rocket. Maybe he asked her to come home and she says NO so he does again and says c'mon don't be a prune. She gets annoyed with his attitude and goes and dobs on him as didn't like being called a prune or whatever abuse he most likely he may of used in a joking manner. I highly doubt the guy just randomly started groping her 5 times.

Once she had shits and her ego kicked in fuled by alcohol she tells security guard he touched me 5 x. Security guard prob thinks I am a chance of getting my dick wet and wants to be the hero so calls cops. Situation snow balls.

There is always two sides to a story. The guys is young,good looking and rich. Women would be all over him. Joint the dots. He doesn't just walk into a crowded bar and go un-noticed and just start touching girls up ffs.

I'm not defending him. I'm just looking at information presented and filling in some gaps. Of course media want to make to story worse then it possibly maybe

It was a Bullfrogs plant that wanted him out for next week's round.

5 times? He should’ve used a tray

Instead of his package?

The world we live in now. So difficult to not offend any particular groups with opinions here! As a female or male you should be able to go to a pub and not be harrassed. However mix that with Alcohol or any other substance and we make poor or impulsive decisions - sometimes disorderly. Is it acceptable - of course not but do we step into a pub with inebriated people expecting everyone to be behaving and make the best choices? Of course not! Soon people will be suing pubs that allow them to drink and make these poor choices - or suing them for allowing others to do this causing someone to feel threatened.
my advice to anyone in the public eye, get off socials and don’t socialise in public. What a fun world we live in these days!!!

I'd be surprised if Freddy and Brandy pick Moses. Like for like the next closest half Is Reynolds, but with Hynes already in the squad he's odds on.

I've got two daughters around the same age as the young women involved, and it happens, it's shit, but whatta ya gonna do?

making some big assumptions here...none of us know what he has or hasnt done, nor do we know if he was inebriated at all. He may have done nothing, he may have done something horrendous regardless of social media "the world we live in now".

Alcohol-Drugs and young people always has and will be a recipe for disaster for some.
