News Taylan May assault charge

[Maximus]

I think you will find most of us think what Taylan did was pretty dumb

Based on this thread, this isn't even remotely close to true.

saying it’s not a hanging offence isn’t saying it wasn’t a dumb thing to do.

Should we protest? Burn the leagues club down? What do you suggest?

I think you will find most of us think what Taylan did was pretty dumb and if the NRL had dished out a more acceptable to the masses punishment there wouldn’t be much whinging from Penrith fans. But here we are, it’s not Taylan or the clubs fault the NRL are stupid.

The tears are pretty tasty though.

Sums it up... more tears the better really

This is what the haters ignore.

I haven't seen anyone go poor Taylan or anything, It was dumb and you only hear of it because he is an NRL player. You will see hundreds of similar offences over the weekend.

That isn't excusing it just kids do dumb things

Between him being found guilty and the NRL announcing the suspension, there are a lot of posts by Penrith fans suggesting he did nothing wrong and the victim deserved it for filming players and being a smartarse.

After you got called out for downplaying May's incident, why did you feel the need to bring up some other player's indiscretions? Do you stand by the claim that May just grabbed him?

I didn’t get called out for anything.

Not down playing it all.

Making comparisons given what has been suggested is entirely appropriate but that obviously escapes you, sadly.

 

[Kilkenny]

And he was f**king punished for it you numb-brained twatwhistle. Immediately. Not when it was convenient for him, or the club.

Your a moron. Always have been always will be. You can’t help it, it is just who you are.

At the end of the day, May was found guilty of a dumb and stupid act.

Ive never sought to condone it, excuse it, just suggested in the scheme of things it probably isn’t the worst indiscretion of what happens by NRL players, there are probably far worse which never come to light or become public.

 

[SBD82]

Somehow we have a generation of people who grew up in Penrith and don’t understand what a conviction means.

The gentrification of Penrith has gone too far.

Right so the first sentence isn't suggesting all he did is grab a bloke?

He grabbed a bloke, he didn’t punch him, king hit him or anything more sinister.

He made a mistake, an error of judgement, it was hardly a hanging offence.

Such incidents occur in licensed premises on a very regular basis and few rarely end up in our criminal courts. Given his profile, as an NRL player this one did and he has no one but himself to blame for that.

He was dealt with the criminal courts and in this instance it should have been the end of it. Not worthy of further sanction.

That’s what he did. He grabbed a bloke, threw him to the ground. Well f**k me, in the scheme if things I can’t figure why he has not been sentenced to jail time. Go figure.

Taylan May has never apologised. Never shown remorse. He tried to plead not guilty on grounds of provocation, when as we’ve all seen he was sitting away from the argument, and then he got up and assaulted the dude from behind, an act the magistrate described as “reprehensible” and “cowardly”.

Yet all we’ve had coming out of Penrith is “poor Taylan, it’s so bad that he had to go through this.”

What a disgrace the Panthers are. What an absolute disgrace.

So Journo asks a question. He is meant to bag out a team mate on the eve of a final?

f**k your sooking is glorious you miserable merkin

I feel dirty, I agree with slothfield and k*nt that vlandys applying racings way of dealing with things like this is stupid and opens a massive can of worms.

Maybe demand consistency across the league? Not this preferential bullshit? Since when have suspensions been deferred because finals are on?

 

[ColdWetPanther]

I honestly don’t know the answer to this? Can you provide an example when an off-field suspension has started during a final series. From memory it feels like a pretty unique situation.

 

[Valheru]

Minor being the key part

1 teenager annoys a group of people
Teenager from that does something stupid to him

That is it in a nutshell, Yet people carry on like he is a criminal mastermind or something

If you can't see that the issue here is the NRL's decision to delay the penalty so that it doesn't adversely effect the Panthers finals chances then there is no point discussing further.

I would have accepted 1 week or even a fine form the NRL but instead they come up with this farce.

We are talking a rookie winger though. I don't see him being the difference in the game that is the strange thing here. That is where we differ, You'd have a point if we were talking Api or someone.

Next time they will just delay releasing the judgement until post season like they have done in the past

 

[mave]

After finding a way to punish guys who are not found guilty yet, the NRL are now rewarding guys who actually are guilty.

It's actually quite impressive, if you don't like consistency, or fairness, or common sense.

So how many weeks will an eels player get THIS season if they did the same thing to taylan on the field?
