Rumours and Stuff

ArVarrar's actual offence was on a totally different planet to Kenny's. Didn't he (allegedly) chuck a woman into a wall?

You're missing the point of my argument. That was RVarRs first indiscretion. This is Edwards third just at Parra (he has been punted by other clubs for whatever reason)

I'm not missing the point. I just don't think his previous indiscretions are relevant to this one. I also think that comparing what he did Kirisomi-san is pointless. One was far worse than the other

RVarR got 9 months from the NRL for a first offence domestic violence conviction.

If Edwards gets anything less for an at least third indiscretion I think he can think himself lucky.
It's not like his other indiscretions have commonality though. There was the Kaysa incident and can't even remember the others but I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with missus. Probably those would add a few weeks, but imo it's probably doubled it. Kennys bigger problem is semi situation imo. No semi case, given it was just pouring a drink over someone and I reckon he gets half of that penalty

If Todd Carneys first indiscretion was pissing on himself in a toilet do you think he would be banished from the sport?

Todd Carney is a criminal who should have been banished before he decided to go urban Bear Grylls. Edwards is not. Stop trying to compare Carney to Edwards, it's not even close.

So two criminal actions and a circumventing of the the sports drug code and you think he's third offence will just get him a slap on the wrist?

But you're trying to determine that Edwards punishment should just be related to his last indiscretions only and all his previous indiscretions should be ignored, which is not really realistic.

Kenny Edwards set to receive massive NRL penalty
7Sport on February 28, 2017, 7:00 pm

The Parramatta Eels forward pleaded guilty to common assault in court on Monday for pouring water on his former partner in December.

He avoided a conviction but has been suspended indefinitely by Parramatta.

He is now faced with the possibility of a ban for up to half the 2017 season along with a massive fine.

The ban could extend to 14 weeks, leaving the 27-year-old searching for other opportunities.

Edwards has played 43 NRL games for the Eels since debuting in 2013 following a rocky start to his career at multiple clubs.
14 weeks! Edwards must've been on his very last warning, and there must've been stuff that we didn't know about in recent years.

At the end of the day he's expendable. Even more so once we signed Pritchard.
Probably. He's not a vital cog, even just for this year. But the club may or may not base their decision on that. They may choose to 'do the right thing' and, given the unclear nature of this incident - to us at least - who knows?

Thanks captain bleeding obvious. I think we all know that. But for this argument, we are narrowing the definition down to its traditional and intitially defined purpous. And Poo knows this, but as always is being an argumentative dick about it. We aren't referring to people who love sport, cars, food or pussy insanly.
Mate. You lost all credibility (and 'purpous') when you failed to understand what social darwinism is.

Have you googled it yet?
