Dude, I'm not on board. There was enough in evidence given in public that suggests he's the last person I'd want around my daughter and her mother. I don't like him because enough that's in the public domain - not just in online forums - suggests he's a dickhead. I remain uneasy about him being in the team and will be glad when his current contract ends and he won't be around any more.
100% and what about the young lad he led astray that got caught up in it all.

The terminology used by JDB during the encounter and was admitted in evidence and not contested is that of a very unsavoury character.

Fruitbasket is not talking about the court case. He's talking about a bloke who has a pregnant wife at home and goes out rooting around. Not a nice bloke.
What percentage of married people or people in long-term, "committed" relationships do you think have sex outside their relationships? One reported figure for Australia puts it at 60% for men and 45% for women.

The world is full of men and women who are "not nice." That would includes lots of NRL footballers and other high profile sportsmen who on a regular basis get offered "no strings sex" (which doesn't in fact exist, as JDB discovered). Many of these cheaters you would no doubt barrack for and regard as top blokes.

As far as I am concerned, this matter is between JDB and his wife, who seem to have got over the matter with less trauma than some people on this thread.

Was the poor young fella not an adult? And what was the "astray" part? What do you know about this other fellow? Was he about to enter the priesthood just when JDB snatched him off the streets and introduced him to an unknown world of debauchery? As far as you know, he might have been as degenerate and morally corrupt as the Marquis de Sade.

Maybe. But we don't know, you pompous knucklehead.

They had a threesome with a woman. Not illegal. Many nowadays would not even regard it as improper.

So what?

60%! Damn! I used to enjoy being a member of a minority.

I wonder how the stats are collected. 60 for men / 45 for women - suggests some women are more promiscuous than most men - or perhaps most women are somewhat less honest about their exploits.

Whichever way I look at this it feels somewhat unfair.

Self reporting is notoriously inaccurate and it is known that women are far less likely to tell the truth.

So - and this is not good news - the figure for women is probably higher.

Not excusing JDB but the “young lad” he led astray was as much to blame and apart of the issue. Definitely not all on Jack

This Aaaamoron kid is playing mostly wing and some fullback in the highlights.. decent highlights too.. big body, dont think I saw him passing much though.. just big hard running.. good in the air taking some contested bombs also.

Says he likes Ctr or Fback.. Ctr is definitely on the cards.. wing he would be in a massive queue for NSW Cup.

It is a massive job for the coaches to sort out these young guys, determine and monitor where they are in their development, and then arrange enough game time for them all.

In some ways it is a more complicated job than the Head Coach role. Not a job I would enjoy.
