He might come in useful hitting other girls like Watmough, Foran and SlaterPersonally I wouldn't want him playing for us. He's been found guilty of hitting a girl, I doubt I could cheer for this hero.

Yeah, I'd generally agree Moondog...but for some reason I had the impression it was mor complex than simple assault - something the Dragons coach or CEO said when he was sacked always made me think he hadn't been hitting her, was more intimidation or pushing or something. No excuse mind you, still a low act, but just thnkng back the Dragons guy said somethings like "I feel sorry for Addin, the way it has come about had been unfortunate" or similar, which isn't the statement of someone who is disgusted by the guy's behaviour. Unless the dragons guy was an effwit as well I guess...Personally I wouldn't want him playing for us. He's been found guilty of hitting a girl, I doubt I could cheer for this hero.
I'm a bit biased Freagle, I've got four daughters and if some bastard hit one of them I'd kill him. I've always thought if you dislike a chick that much leave, don't be a standover. A lot of blokes will feel sorry for a dickhead, doesn't make them any less of a dickhead though.Yeah, I'd generally agree Moondog...but for some reason I had the impression it was mor complex than simple assault - something the Dragons coach or CEO said when he was sacked always made me think he hadn't been hitting her, was more intimidation or pushing or something.

Right on brother. I have three boys, and in terms of fathering advice/rules, respect for women is at the top of the list. That and an insistance they never support any team other than Manly of course...I'm a bit biased Freagle, I've got four daughters and if some bastard hit one of them I'd kill him.

I've got three boys too Frank and they've been taught the same.All the girls are Manly fans, the two eldest blokes as well but the young guy has got a bad attitude, he's a f**king donkeys supporter!Right on brother.

Keeps the blood pumping thru the off season.Geez... Controversial!
Personally sickened by violence, especially a girlfriend /wife beater....but the particular case here is different.
The cut from Illawarra was deeper than his personal relationship, which has 2 sides to the story.
If he was found guilty in relationship to abuse, I would be on board here, but as we know sometimes like the Brett Stewart incident, mud sticks unfairly.
Fact is, he did have separate disciplinary issues at the club which is a red flag.
Just hope at Manly, like others before him, he can reach his undoubted talent.
Addin is my nephew and hopes he does really good for manly, he is in good mind set, focused and can't wait to back on the field.
Long story about what happened, but it's all done now and looking forward to watching out there again.
There's always two sides to every story. He, like most others, deserves a second chance, so good luck to him. Hopefully he has learnt some lessons and is ready to be make the most of an opportunity.Addin is my nephew and hopes he does really good for manly, he is in good mind set, focused and can't wait to back on the field.

Agreed, but has the NRL granted him clearance to play?There's always two sides to every story. He, like most others, deserves a second chance, so good luck to him. Hopefully he has learnt some lessons and is ready to be make the most of an opportunity.
Good question. Don't know the answer to that though, maybe uncle @Johnny blake does ?Agreed, but has the NRL granted him clearance to play?
NRL decisions don't commence till the Court sentences lapse, in case they contravene the GBH bond.Given he has been banned for 12 months it follows some of the previous guys like Ferguson so the NRL may well be happy with that side of things.
