Robert Lui Incident/Contract Thread

[Tigerdave]

oh dear, what a poor end to the season…..hope his missus and the baby are ok... and if it's all true, he has to go

Innocent until proven guilty, but if he is guilty, then the "No D!ckheads Policy" must be enforced. This would mean goodbye.

Raises more questions re culture and responsibility. What sort of support do the Tigers have in place for someone like Lui, 20 years old, from a diferent state, still only quite young, For a Kid from Townsville, sydney's bright lights and clubs mad monday drinking cultre, why is this a surprise? Don't get me wrong, if he is found guilty, I want him gone, but I just can't help but think, his situation might be influenced by his age, sudden fame,out drinking with the boys, comes home leggless and makes a tool out of himself.
Where was his mentor, does he have one? Did the club warn all its players to behave off the field or else?
On the Pis* not a good look.

i was thinking the same thing, i know there has to be a huge amount of self respoinsibility but the club should understand that the young guys might not know how to handle the huge disappointment and lots of alcohol.

Its easy to say all this in hindsight

The club has done more than enough. They have mentored him in Sydney since 2008\. There is a time when a man must accept sole responsibility for their actions

Gee nothings been proven yet and these days you get charged over not very much you both make a statement and it goes to court.I know of plenty of situations where the guy is getting physicaly assaulted and nothing gets done but with guys its a blanket approach and judge everything the same and let the courts deal with it.

Some hypocrits or people that have never had a relationship can judge him id rather wait and see what comes out of it before crucifying the guy and im not just saying this cause hes playing for the tigers.It of course is a shame thats she pregnant whichmay make it worse for him.

and if this player was Thurston the most overated player of all time the club wouldnt get rid of him

a policy which the most successful clubs dont abide by st george,sailor manly,b stewart,storm,g inglis and roosters t carney.titans g bird.etc etc.i say let the charges play out and see exactly what happened before we jump to conclusions.im happy to say i support a team with a no dickheads policy but at times this lessens our chance of a premiership.oh well such is life.

yes life is very sexist these days man hits woman hes a basher lady hits man with golf club baseball bat etc he deserved it.imagine the uproar if everytime a black man hit a white man it was assault but every time a white man hit a black man it was ok.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Those charges don't sound very good at all.

Jesus christ, what a mess.

 

[norm]

And I thought we had such a good year…...

 

[tiger4ever]

Yeah thats the way it is magpie.

Most guys wont report anything to the police so therfore there is very little evidence to say woman bash men but where i live i see it happen all the time.But if a woman gets hit they report it but most of the time they regret it afterwards cause they know what really happen.Dont get me wrong it does happen both ways and should be rubbed out but lets see what the truth is and that will come out soon im sure.

You blokes who attack him personally & destroy his self-belief with your spiteful critiques deserve a night in the cells!!!

His alleged actions cannot be condoned or accepted in any way - but why does the kid have to read such ill-informed - vexatious garbage from the club's so-called supporters on various forums like this!!!

He proved he was better than his critics in the last few games - but to have club supporters question his ability would hurt anybody - let alone a fledgling kid from the Torres Strait (via Townsville & Keebra)!!!

SHAME ON YOU!!!!

I truly believe this sort of crap has led to this terrible circumstance!!!

Tigers need to support his rehab pre &/or post-trial/jail - or we are complicit!!!

I think you'll find that no one has alleged anything, only commented on what has been reported in the media.
As was previous said by another admin, if anyone does post any allegations or imply anything that could disrupt the legal process in any way, their post will be deleted.

However, if you are uncomfortable with people commenting on what has been said in the media (as you have whinged about before using other forum accounts) then I suggest that you stop visiting this website.

[alexaki]

If your looking for any positive out of this that is Lui wont be in the playing spotlight for a few months…so hopefully this serious matter can be dealt with without too much unwarranted media attention.

HT - you may believe that attacking a kid via keyboard (who is the subject - but not a part of the on-line discussion) is acceptable - I don't!!!!!

You are a member of another ridiculous forum that makes all genuine league supporters squirm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The kid is a lovely bloke by nature - but the hectic nature of life as a top-grade professional has had a profound impact!!!

The Club needs to support him (and are doing so by bailing him out and providing supported alternative accommodation for him)!!

If you want to suggest it was inevitable or routine due to his ethnicity - you have crossed a major line!!!!

At no stage in this thread has Hybrid verbally attacked Lui nor has he suggested it had anything to do with his background. What he may or may not say in other forums is not debatable here. Please pull your head in before you go pointing the finger at other forum members.
