@norm said:I saw Robert Lui on the weekend at a knockout carnival where my son was playing, trying to make a QLD under 16 indigenous team. Robert was extremely polite and couldn't do any more for the kids who flocked him all weekend. My son had a good talk to him on how he was playing and also had a photo taken. This is a huge shame if true, I just can't believe it, he should have recieved help after the first incident. I don't know if this was offered but it should have been, especially for the sake of his wife and baby.

Receive help from who and for what?
Self responsibility is a wonderful thing. If he can't control himself on or off the drink that is his problem. No room for him at the Weststigers I am afraid. Benefit of the doubt for one offence, strike two and you are out.

Weidler gets a lot of stuff off Beau, I think most people know that.

Yeah my personal dealings with Rob Lui have been good - he was generous with his time and happy to talk and sign things - **but being a nice guy doesn't give you a free pass for something like this**. As I understand it, Robert and his partner were offered counselling after the incident last year. I'm not sure if he took up that offer.

Bang on Yoss. Warnie is a terrific bloke off the field as well, doesn't mean he's a great husband.
@norm said:Hey everyone I in no way condone what was allegedly done and as for the comment about him recieving help that was firstly for the sake of his wife and child and secondly for him I hate to see such tallent go to waste.What is wrong with offering someone help, I agree it should be the players responsibility first and foremost, but there is nothing wrong with trying to help someone out. Doesn't mean the club condones The action. If you are right Yosarian and he was offered help and refused congrats to the club for at least trying.

Inevitable. Most domestic violence stuff ends like this as the woman realises her husband will lose his job etc….............and, especially when there are kids involved, no woman wants their kids to go from having a dad with a job and supporting them to having a dad in jail etc.
If he's let off...............very, very tough position for the wests tigers to be in. A bloke charged twice with bashing a woman is not a good look for any club. If we don't cut him, but "something" happens again (likely given the nature of their relationship) and it ends really badly...........the club will look irresponsible and be accused of ignoring it.
If we do cut him and he's cleared...........we cut a bloke found guilty of nothing.
Tough, tough position.
