That's 2 strikes for Madge! He's not batting too well with his choice of recruits.

That's right, Walker and Musgrove are not top tier players by any stretch of the imagination.

That’s good advice
TBH if he is convicted he will still get a contract somewhere and thats the real black eye in rugby league imo. Zane tetivano beat his misses and just moved from newy to the roosters, lodge another, robert lui back in the day, dylan walker the list is endless. Until they get serious about it, it will continue to happen

The person people are not talking about, is Ben Barba.
Why, because the Ben Barba response is Messy. Yet I believe it is the right way forward.
So Domestic violence is NOT ON. I deplore it.
But when you have kids together, you have a family and a guy with a problem. Canterbury with Ben helped try resolve this problem via counselling and emotional support. The idea being that you work through the issues, remove violence from the situation and help restore the relationship. But it's messy. Really messy, not a clear cut issue as you have to talk how to rehabilitate someone who has done something horribly wrong and then how to make the rehabilitation not the violence the role model.
Now that means, accepting someone who is a woman hitter back into league. I can do this if the guy says "I was a grub, I did wrong. Guys don't do this" and actually means these words. If the abuse continues he gets kicked out.
They should still get punished. Min 1 year out of league. Naturally any 'civil' lawsuits get resolved first.
I, myself am up for a culture change that stops this behaviour instead of just pushing it out of League.

I don't know about that, Sheens and Taylor use to pick their favourites every week, regardless of how bad they were the previous week or month.

Geez your wife is a hard taskmaster! A crease is nothing! Try scorching or burning a hole in something like I usually do :mrgreen:
Honestly, it boggles the mind how people (blokes mostly,) find it so hard to iron?
It's not bloody rocket surgery. And like anything, the more you do it, the better and quicker you get at it.

I am trying to think outside the square with this and I'm not sure if this is the answer , but if we could get some cross code agreement on the subjects like drug use , domestic violence etc and the same bans in rugby league are also observed by rugby union you could take out players back door they always think they have
I guess the big problem is usually these blokes are 3 parts to the wind or wrecked off their heads and when they react the last thing they are thinking of is will they get the sack
The other problem we need to start trying to understand is the individual players themselves , what their past actually are and who will be massive risks of making judgement errors based on their past histories
If the only thing you know is violence , more than likely the only way you will solve an issue is violence Help develop coping mechanisms at a young age , make it part of their process of becoming a footballer
They have so much time to spare , there is no reason for them to help them help themselves
