I think I missed the star names?

Is there an arrogance… sure.

Can’t recall a consistently good team that was truly humble though

Which part, the last bit was being cheeky, but I still think your on another planet with the incident.

Interesting that Stuarts statements that on field incidents not defining character would be in admissible in Stuart claiming a truth defence in on onfield incident defining character.

Perhaps if your club didn’t enable not cracks would be had?

But hey he’s got suck great track record, like the raider tbh, that he deserves a 20th chance

Why Stuart won't understand his petulance but consider himself a martyr after being banned

What we had was adequate. Verrils is not anywhere near Pearce.

Punishments need to be relative. Sometimes I wonder if the people running the game are awake during ELT and board meetings

On the “kicked in the balls”, I don’t share your optimism.

It’s been judged by multiple parties and found to be a minor charge.

You could splice up a montage of Stuart publicly defending worse incidents and saying they are a reflection of a person’s character.

As for “admission of guilt”, presumably you mean public guilt. Gore, Kent and Stuart have already put him in that spot anyway.

Not really, the first isn’t the defamatory sentence. So that’s just stat padding to get to the meatloaf defence.

It also would be interesting to run truth defence on that sentence though given the family has stated he hasn’t had any contact with them since.

So you would be arguing that it’s our reasonable to assume people don’t develop from the age of 12 and legal concept of a child is incorrect and the fields of psychology and nureology are wrong.

The second sentence brings it to present tense, atleast that is my understanding of the word “now”.

Again you’ll need to eviscerate the millennia old concept of a child to say an incident in childhood over 10 years ago is sufficient to make that statement about a person’s character today before you can introduce the incident.

So my read it’s an indefensible first sentence that wasn’t the defamatory part. Then two sentences which end in now.

What Stuart said was present tense “wouldn’t be an issue ” I think is understating it.

I’d doubt there is defamation here but I’d be perplexed that you’re allowed to dredge up his behaviour as a minor when that’s not allowable in many other contexts.

My worry is more that Stuart’s harboured an abusive attitude towards a child for quite sometime.

Can you run a truth defence on a minor’s actions though as a reflection of his adult character?

Seriously I can’t think of a worse project for the current economic environment.

Joe could shoot random people in Newcastle and do less social damage than a project like this.

It’s abusive behaviour towards a child. Tim gore condones that behaviour and the roar supports his position

Correct me if I’m wrong but the raiders firsts list has:

– salary cap cheats
– player disowned by his home town
– coach suspension for the behaviour they’ve enabled (he’s passionate.. just like every other horrible person in history)

But the signaling and behaviour adjustment is now. The labour and materials sourcing is now. Initial payments are now. The pressure on supply chains is now. The impact on credit rating is now.

Inflation is also unlikely to be a 6 month issue.

Agreed, and I think I’ve made that point elsewhere enough.

My thought was more ROI to the state which typically relies on a lot of very fanciful assumptions. They’ll never get there on rent alone, which means the commercial use alone isn’t cutting it.

Now I do support the argument that it’s a public good to a marginal extent. But it shouldnt be treated as core infrastructure (and isn’t by any analyst with a brain)

The should they have done X, Y Z instead of A B C projects is a discussion but it’s not a justification for making a worse decision that is contrary to everything else government’s and central banks are trying to do.

I’m just not sure if either point is relevant to my post. But that said yeah the SFS was a head scratcher, it’s one of those things in a democracy that sometimes 51% gets 100% of what they wanted. Imagine it would not fly now.

Plus SCG sucks for League compared to the old SFS.
