News Taylan May assault charge

[betcats]

The little sook is the one who thinks hearing mean words is justification to assault someone

Nice guy Taylan was doing the guy a favour teaching him a life lesson. Most people who behave like that get the lesson a lot harder than a throw to the ground.

It is just another example of the incompetence of the ARLC. Await the Pandora’s Box created by V’Landys comments and decision

 

[dogslife]

Why would you let a bloke from Blacktown named Taylan who sports that haircut into your establishment if you claim to be of any repute

 

[GongPanther]

When you start bringing up bs factors in mitigation you are downplaying mays (and its only may) shitfulness. There was no justification for the assault.

"May was stupid but that guy was a farqwit and had whats coming" isnt very convincing of a sticking

We'll leave it as that then.

you forget News networks have court reporters to confirm such things

The magistrate viewed footage taken on the victim’s mobile phone showing him swearing and showing his middle finger to a group of Panthers players.

A pub security guard testified that the victim was heard verbally abusing the players and was warned to stop harassing them.

What did the Magistrate look at if didn't happen?

So no poking or getting in his face then. If you watch the vid its cleary and his mates who start getting physical by surrounding him and getting in his face.

You think its likely this unathletic smaller dude started getting physical first?

Is Gus posting here under the username Forby?

Not likely, although there are News journos who do have username(s). And you don't have to look hard enough to find out.

I dont think Taylan deserves to be suspended for something that occured a year ago in the off-season when he was a reserve grader player sticking up for his his friends. Whatever disciplinary measures he was given back then should have been enough for a minor incident from a reserve grader. This wasn't some unprovoked psychotic break of him going on a violent rampage. He dragged a guy to the ground by his collar ffs.The outrage is because he's now a solid NRL player at the Panthers. No one would care if he was just a reserve grader still.

But the guy is definitely a dickhead and shouldn't be congratulated for it. Gus is off his head with that . There were better ways to de-escalate the situation. Reacting to people at all in public is something these guys need to learn not to do. But obviously drunk teens are stupid. The May family would probably be lucky to have a brain cell between them. Honestly surprised he didn't go further than grabbing him by the collar considering he's drunk, knows how to fight and is from an area where fighting is pretty much what guys drow up doing.

The NRL definitely made it worse by delaying a punishment for next season despite their reasoning being consistent with a change in judiciary decisions for Origin and finals footy. Also it's not often a minor off field incidentfrom a year ago ends up being finalised by courts the week finals starts.

The NRL have done weird shit like this before though. Their punishments for off field stuff has always been different to on field incidents.

Dragons bbq through COVID. They worked it so the players could each serve suspensions as the club saw fit across 2 to 4 rounds to make sure they still had a competitive team. So a delayed suspension that the club could choose how it was served.

Sharks drug scandal. They offered a backdated ban so the Sharks wouldn't suffer the following season for it. Just to get the scamdal over and done with.

Then there's stuff that's dealt with in the off-season more immediately. They tend to give them suspensions that equalled the amount of rep games they would have played so the club's not losing out and they're available round 1.

They can't do the same thing for actions that happen on the field obviously. Though they did change the system for finals and rep games to avoid players being suspended for stuff they would have been in a regular match aswell. We saw many suspension worthy moments through origin only cop fines.

Honestly the f**ked part is he's just a winger and the odds dont change at all if he's suspended. As a Panthers fan I wouldn't care if he missed 2 weeks. We survived 8 weeks without To'o and didnt lose a match. L

The issue that Panthers fans should have is the perfect timing of this from the NRL, FULLY knowing the shitstorm that will come from their decision in not suspending him until next season.

There shouldn't be all this squabbling and to and fro-ing. It's the NRL's fault here.

Same thing, tweet, link, morse code.

Gus always has an agenda not sure what Taylan's contract status is but wouldnt suprise me if the Dogs are trying to sign him.

May extended a further two years a number of months ago, then he will be off to I think either Parra or Melbourne.

Not really mate. Primary source vs hearsay. But keep going mate

 

[This Year?]

Just the kinds of things footy fans love discussing on the eve of the finals.
Should have just been a fine IMO unless there is something in his NRL contract that stipulates suspensions for this sort of thing.


It's not like he had a bbq with his team mates during a covid lockdown.

That is it.

Personally I think a fine, Education on how to react is fine but should they choose a ban, Should be instant.

I guess they back date bans so this might become the norm

I mean that is it what happens when you mouth off to someone on the booze

 

[Iamback]

I see the brilliant LU PENRITH legal team have decided to use the “loqui shit adepto hit” defence.

That’s a bold strategy from some cunning legal minds.

Not at all just putting context to it. It wasn't as though the guy was just innocently minding his own business as some on here like to claim.

Phil Gould now wants us to congratulate players who assault members of the public. Note to Gus, don’t tweet when you’ve been out on the piss.

No matter the provocation Taylan should have controlled himself better but if the victim was doing the stuff in iambacks post then he got off lightly, you act like that in a pub and you’re going to get towelled up 9 times out of 10. Honestly what a little sook if that’s true, poking a bear and running to the police when it gives him a little push back.

The guy was pretty clearly trying to leave the area. The only reason he was stopped is because big bad fake tough guy Nathan Cleary blocked him from doing so.

If Cleary wasn’t such a f**king wanker, none of this would have happened.
