Do you know what he said ? I don’t so I’m guessing you have no idea

Yeah actually I do........Word for word. It was all recorded on bodycam. He threatened both cops and made a point of directly threatening the female.
Thug is a compliment to trash like him.

Its all over facebook word for word and reported in foxsports - if the NRL allow him to get off with a slap on the wrist then the organisation is a joke.

Is the NRL currently deliberating on it? Sounds like the Broncos wont punish him and expect him to be available for round 1

He has history dude . This ain't his first rodeo

And I also don't know anyone that speaks to authorities like that. He is a thug

Should get minimum of 6 weeks and big fine for bringing the game into disrepute.

The way he spoke to police and especially the female police officer should be treated very seriously, especially considering the NRL's stance on violence towards women.

V'Landys has to hit him hard if he wants people to continue to take him seriously, and I'm sure he will.

Stuff what the Broncos want.

Reports i have seen said Integrity Unit haven't made any decision on whether to take the matter further.

You've obviously never in the city after midnight on a weekend...

In any case he got a 20k fine and suspended for 2 matches. Sounds about right.

Real question now is..who to promote? If Billy goes

Fitzgibbon?

How about Kei from development,a big strong and talented wing or centre.Good cover for current centres as well, in case of injury or poor form.And then move Fitzgibbon to development squad ,then he can play mid year.I don't know if its possible.Also the fullback people mention in the training squad may be an option?

Or Tyrone Roberts-Davis who has first grade experience and can cover fullback and wing. That'd be where I'd go, if they are not promoting Fitzgibbon. As others have mentioned though Zach Docker-Clay seems the obvious one as we have no depth in five eighth.

I don't live in Sydney so you're correct, doesn't make it okay though

Great...so a slap on the wrist. The more slap on the wrists you give him, the more likely he is to re-offend

I would say a halfback/fullback is our main priority at this stage. Fitzgibbon is not so much a priority but I think he will also fill a spot soon.

I have encountered a number of situations when drunk or drugged men have deliberately tried to start an argument with me to the extent which I have feared for my life.

Yes Davis is the one i was thinking of,can anyone give more info on his ability ? I think we may end up with 3 vacancies,maybe they all go up if we don't sign others?

I know nothing about Kei , but a dude I work with who watched him as junior told me he was a standout.

Looked at some clips,and he is a beast,fast,solid and can beat a man one on one.Thats rare in a Tigers backline.

You do realise that video was from when he was 16?

He's built like Fonua. Is he faster, better in the air than Mahe was? Let's hope so. Not playing all year last year means he's far less likely to play this season

Ok back on the Rumours.
The reports are that Walters is heading home to Brisbane but from what understand this is unlikely unless we get something in return ?? Does anyone have any updated info on this situation

Probably just cap compensation

I can see it happening. Billy won’t be available to play for us until mid-season due to the ACL, and Kev and Madge have a good relationship.

The only question is how will we be compensated for the release. I don’t think cap comp is enough, we should push for a player transfer payment.

Check the photo of Billy at WT's training, he's not too far off returning to the field.

He is months away, just like everyone saying Liddle wasn't far away at this point last year.

Anyone I've played with or against who's had ACL injuries will tell you that you're running well before you're even close to playing again. No way he'll see any action in the first half of the season even if he's needed.

Lots of straight lines .....

Compensated? The guy is 26, will be lucky to get a game in firsts this year, I understand we have a train & trial guy ready to take his place. He seemed a good bloke, but he’s not a keeper.

I didn’t say that. I said that the transfer was likely to happen.

If it wasn’t Kev’s son I would say no chance for a transfer fee, but if our back office is smart they should push for whatever they can squeeze out of the Donkeys.

Fitzgibbon?

Has Edene Gebbie landed yet? In 14 day quarantine? Or not.
