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.

Nathan should've gone all Jack Wighton on the little smart arse and belted him while he was trying to walk away.

yeah its next to the article about the fella poking Cleary in the chest

I posted the news article which doesn't go into detail but where the magistrate saw the video and Security told the guy to stop being a dick.

so please point me to where May has spoken about this issue?

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.
So… you’re not saying “talk shit get hit”. You’re saying “if you’re not innocently minding your own business get hit”.

Nuanced. I like it.

Hey @skeepe, you're now allowed to assault this guy since calling people mean words is justification according to Penrith fans
True. But I am a f**king wanker so he could probably just use the truth defence.

Oh yeah, I’m also not a fake tough guy or a snowflake so I don’t actually give a shit what people say about me.

So no one Ever has been hit for being a dick to someone in a pub?
Mate, I don’t think that’s the point people are trying to make. Its that his suspension has been delayed until next year when it won’t hurt as much. It sets a new precedent and you can bet your left one that they will be inconsistent with it too.

The game has always suspended players immediately if they embarrassed the game. Radley got involved in a tussel in Byron. No criminal conviction but copped a couple of weeks, didn’t he? Would’ve been handy for Easts if Pearce served his suspension at the end of the year as well in 2016.

I get that side of it and that is better discussion than mentioning the severity of the assault

The suspension being held off isn't a good look but there have been many rubbery suspensions

The ASADA stuff people mentioned.

Rapana last year was suspended for off field stuff, Allowed to play All Stars. Got a further suspension and was able to serve those 2 suspensions concurrently.

Brandon Smith, Reece Walsh and Latrell could use the All stars game as 1 game off their suspension. Yet Rapana could play in it?

Shouldn't all of been suspended from it or not used the game to count?

So the NRL often does head scratching things like this

Milford was effectively given a 10 week suspension for throwing a bin, and was forced to sit out until he completed education. Why does May not have to do the same?

So many holier than thou angels on this forum, you and skeepe and a few others talk about how Nathan and Taylan are wankers for reacting to words being thrown at them and yet other peoples words in this thread have you foaming at the mouth. How dare anyone defend taylan. How dare anyone talk about security kicking the guy out. How dare Taylan not come out and show remorse! Blah blah blah you all seem to get offended by some words pretty quickly, it doesnt even have to be directed at you. God forbid someone else thinks what happened isnt serious! How dare they, the outrage!
