On the other hand the Roosters are desperate for a centre so if he's convicted but declares he wants to play for them he'll be back playing the next round.
The Roosters love the odd criminal in their team, particularly DV offenders.
 
Mam is a bronco and it was in QLD,that explains it all.
I don't know, the criminal system I thought was based on precedence. I am pretty sure he admitted guilt too but the punishment was nothing but a loss of license and community work.
 
I guess he didn't leak it, but still can't believe there wasnt a jail term for this.

Either our jails are overcrowded that they can't afford to put these guys in or they're under crowded if these offences don't have sentences.

I got no knowledge of the legal system so maybe some lawyers here can enlighten us.

Damn it, where's Lee when you need him. 🤣
 
Deserving of it's own thread.

Taylan May has his court date on March 10th.
If he is found guilty of any if the 6 charges....

What does that mean for his future?
He's already sat out a year.
Is his career over?

With what we saw with Ezra recently, could something similar occur ? Time served, a fine and mandatory training, community work, etc.?

The NRL is big on second chances but the charges brought forward and the bigger concern is the character of the person.

Thoughts?
Why is his nickname Tiny bro?
 
The NRL has to be careful here.
Violence against women is a huge issue in this country and rightly so.
Whilst we must be aware of the havoc that the "me too" movement caused in convicting innocent men, Taylan will have his day in court and receive the chance to clear his name. Hopefully the verdict is respected either way.
If what he did was bad, he is done.
Mate, with the amount of avenues this could take through his solicitors having successfully dragged it out for so long, the hostility of the witness, and the fact that most judges recognise real remorse and also the human nature factor often behind he-said, she-said singular DV events like these - it’s likely what he did was bad enough. Again, not always/usually how these things play out in court but my head says he’ll address the issues presented on the day and get off scot-free.

IMHO, it’s come about and been such a polarising issue because of the way it is policed to the highest level, seemingly utterly selective and a bogus way the government can raise revenue.
 
Slight detour…

I have a friend that’s going through a divorce. He has 2 young children and his ex is using the system in every way to her advantage.

You never know all the details, but in this situation my friends and I could see the relationship was really bad right from the start. Unfortunately the relationship lasted, they got married had kids etc

She’s probably what a therapist would diagnose a narcissist; her mother too. They gang up on him, gaslight him and record his reaction, deliberately trying to drive him mad then get evidence of his behaviour. She uses access to the kids as leverage to get things she wants, and goes on social media and talks about how she’s a victim of domestic violence. The irony is that she’s the only one that’s ever been physically abusive, and she’s emotionally abusive to the kids and my friend.

My friend has told me he’s afraid to tell people of the situation as he’s worried people will automatically assume he’s a domestic violence perpetrator being a male.

She’s demanded he only gets to 2, 2 hour visits a week, and he’s followed his lawyers advice to go long with this; they say the courts won’t look kindly, especially given there’s overwhelming evidence that he’s a great dad and she’s extremely manipulative.

What’s my point? you never really know a situation - May may not be guilty. I know it’s a taboo topic, but I’ve seen first hand how this can play out.

Having said that, if he’s guilty of the allegations I wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole.

My daughter's a DV police officer. There are many women out there using the system as a weapon, wasting police time, making life harder for the real victims of DV.
 
Who cares what he did or didn't do - if he's available to sign, we should sign him. If we don't then another club will, we have no reason to try and play the good guys

Not worth worrying about until he faces court anyway.
I remember players like James Robert’s that we gave a chance too and how did that play out.
