Walker cleared to play.

[davohan123]

The least thing Dylan is owed is a direct apology from both
Green slime and peter infront of a full press conference but won’t happen.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So, did we get $$ compensation for his 9 weeks of suspension , if not we should.

Plus interest!!

 

[davohan123]

Walker turbo afb dce now all could be back this year.
Scary thought for other teams!!
Hope we win tonight for walker, would give the boys a lift this verdict

 

[The Wheel]

I wonder if this plays into the DeBellin case ie the stand down policy is unfair and flawed if a player has been found not guilty?

 

[Ryan]

Yeah, a few people didn't cover themselves in glory throughout these 77 pages ...... but I am not the sort of person that would go back and embarrass them ..... just hope this drama helps Dylan and the missus get their acts together for the future and the child ... wish them good luck ..

Agreed. But to be fair, we took this offline and spoke about this being a likely outcome, when the accusations were flying, and our own fans were white anting him.

This is the last I'll say on it (and speaking generally). People make mistakes. A true redemption story is amazing.

Walkers innocence now confirmed by a judge makes the policy of Greenturd and Beattie out to be the folly that it is. The law is innocent until proven guilty.

Now based on their decision our club has been denied the use of a contracted player for nine rounds of football, will the club be compensated? Bloody oath not!! Will Walker get justice? not a cats chance in hell, Will Greenturd and Beattie continue, too bloody right. If De Bellin is also found innocent both of these fools need to be removed from the game!!

This is from NRL.com's chief reporter Michael Chammas:

LATEST: Manly CEO Lyall Gorman says they hope to have Dylan Walker back as soon as possible after he was found not guilty. NRL about to make a statement but likelihood is he will be back as early as next weekend.

I hope we sue the NRL

Why?

NRL set their rules and Clubs and players signed up to abide by them.

JDB's case has already been heard, the verdict made and is being handed down next week.

Well I hope he puts he best performances on the park for the rest of the year, he'll need to as he will be playing for a contract.

Agree , and he needs to be goody two shoes off the field as well.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Mods don’t think we need two threads on this , sorry Ryano

 

[Bearfax]

Not guilty at a criminal level only.

But reading the evidence does not alter the fact that his partner ran out of her home, protecting her baby from Walker who was scaring her

I stand by my disdain of Walker's behaviour on and off the field

Now lets see him repay his employer by playing on the field for the term of his contract

You may be right, HM. Certainly the media painted it that way...and of course we always believe the media. But the issue is we were not there so we don't really know what happened. The court, and magistrates are very good at discerning the question of guilt and far better than us, determined that he was not guilty of the charges. Again it is not our place to judge and its a matter where we may never know. But lambasting him now after being found not guilty is in fact defaming, and defamation of character based on opinion is in fact a civil offence, so I would be careful. You can think it, perhaps suggest it to your mates, but putting it out there in the public arena is quite risky.

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

The only good in this i see is it makes greenturd look even more stupid and inept and puts another nail in the slimey tossers coffin !!

Walker you better play 10-10 for rest of the season now old mate you owe us !!!!

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Interesting... very interesting. How could he be not guilty hahaha the court system is a joke. So does he play next week?

Shouldn't that be "northern beaches project manager Lyall..."?

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Greenturd eat sh_it and die! Walker was stood down under your discretionary power. I hope you choke on a bag full of dix..

 

[40 nil]

Lets hope that the Manly backs won't be sidetracked from tonight's game worrying about their spots for next week

Hopefully, there won't be obstacles to Walker returning asap. With DCE out, initially, I think he'll be selected as five-eighth.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Greenberg and Beattie should both be gone immediately!

I'm merely posting the smh coverage of the hearing today

It's all public information now
