...the judiciary panellists would have to prove the comments would see their reputation suffer in the eyes of "right-thinking members of the community".
No right-thinking person believes the Judiciary members have a link to the Bookies.
Right-thinking people believe the Judiciary is inconsistent.
Craig Bellamy was locked out of his head with rage because when they charged Cam Smith his Grand Final Vision turned into a vision of sh*ts Creek and Manly had the paddle. Me personally, I still have nightmares from when Ricko couldn't play in the Grand Final.
What Williams has to realise is that we don't like them, we don't think they are consistent, refs are inconsistent, we question the NRL on matters of TV Rights, players code of conduct, News Ltd.
Go to any game and sit with the peasants, we abuse, the ref, the touchies, the opposition, the opposition fans, the video ref, the sideline entertainment and we boo at every opportunity. So when we get to see them in person there is a high chance that one of us is going to shout the odds.
I certainly hope that the NRL are not paying the legal fees to take it to court.
One thing I am unsure of, is the panel 7 Members? If so, then are 3 of the 7 taking the matter further?
