It’s in the article Phil – not in his contract, hence why he is a creditor like everyone else, and RA are not covering it

Laurie has so much rugby IQ – what a great person to have on board. And a real no nonsense approach.

Nice insular view.
Actually, a lot of Aussies do care what happens outside our country, sport aside.

“and a sustained attack on high shots”.
Lol – RL has a very long way to go on this.

3 hit ups, spin it once. One more hitup, then kick.
It’s imaginative stuff.

True, he did, as he straightened his legs.

You’re right. You are not proven not guilty, but found not guilty.
Look, it’s all semantics anyway.

During a game you have to mentally tough you mean?

They are important too, but scrumming is no.1. Obviously.
And we will have to agree to disagree on the “failing miserably” part.

Yes some poetic licence in the journalism…

I’ve got to say when I read a bit about the evidence, I did wonder how on earth the prosecution could win, and why they were spending tax payers’ money on this.

A much higher standard of proof.
No issue with the finding, only the journalistic description.

Innocent, then if not proven guilty you are not guilty. So innocent until proven not guilty is your best case scenario…

Yeah didn’t he have a partner at the time? Maybe still does too.

“But after the well-known Wallaby was cleared by a jury last month of any wrongdoing”.
Is that right? Or was he found not guilty on the criminal burden of proof – beyond reasonable doubt. There’s a big different between not guilty and innocent.

What about his scrummaging, or isn’t that important for a prop?

The late tackle was very late – there is unsportsmanlike conduct and other laws that could come into play given how late and hard it was

It was nothing other than a cheap shot against someone whose body was not braced because he wasn’t expecting to be tackled that long after passing.

Yeah 4 weeks where he dipped and got noticeably low, I thought that was a mitigating factor.

Depends how late. If unreasonably late, to make it cynical, it can definitely be upgraded to yellow. I think it qualifies. In fact it can be upgraded to red in some circumstances.
Is this the look you want for the game? Players not looking for defenders – defenceless because they are not in play and not expecting to get tackled – getting taken out? The defender is not being tough, it’s a cheap shot however you want to spin it.

BF I think if RA are covering the contract payments, that would include superannuation
