well I'd be dubious about this one tbh at least until the full details come out. Aussie Rugby players have alot higher profile than ours , a bit like our Football players and I think they do suffer from people looking to make cheap headlines and some easy cash from compo

A video of it will appear on youtube soon anyways, the aussie RL stars tend to end up on there.

Very true, plenty of shootings down under at players aswell.
Shocked at him though. Such a talent that could be tarnished. But only banned for four weeks?

From the bbc website about Manly

"Full-back Brett Stewart, the two-try hero of their 28-20 win over Leeds, has been arrested for an alleged sexual assault.

Second row Anthony Watmough, who was man of the match, is alleged to have punched a sponsor at the club's season launch"

It seems a lot of young stars are getting arrested down there not for petty stuff either, I know we have a few, but nowhere near as many as the NRL. Would any superleague club be brave enough to sign them if they are released? I hope not and I doubt they would get clearence for anyone other than Catalans anyway.

Looking at the Sydney Morning Herald website what's even more embarassing is they're blaming the salary cap for players getting bladdered and causing mayhem. Clearly it has nothing to do with the players who bear no responsibility at all for their actions.

Its all the salary caps fault! because if they got paid even more, they would behave like angels!

I think it is clearly the answer - give these idiots more money and let their ego's grow even bigger....that certainly wont cause any problems.

the 4 game NRL ban is for getting lashed up at an official event, not for the alleged sexual assault.
