Walker cleared to play.

[bazeagle]

Interesting. So if JDB wins his court case against the NRL I wonder where that leaves us with pursuing action against them as well.

I take my original post fully back. Not guilty. I was 100% wrong. I fell for the media spin. Oh well, I apologise to all fans and to anyone else who wants to listen.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

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!!

Havent you been paying attention? Its GUILTY until proven innocent. This is why they put people in jail and make them sign into police stations or put them on house arrest. Then there like oohh sorry glad your innocent all the best.

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

Fark.....not again

 

[Disco]

I'd say Walker will be 5/8 next week.............How long is Croker out for?

 

[bob dylan]

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?

Huh?

This case is done and dusted,barring appeals.

That makes perfect sense.
Get him in without penalizing those who have been so good for us

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

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.

If hes playing good we will resign him.. des knows hes a gun and we need a good center no need to search for a new one now we have one of the best.
Now des has to drop suli or move him to wing. Walker better not stuff up our right side defence its been so solid

 

[KOMORI]

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.

To be fair, this particular “rule” was made up on the fly as a complete knee jerk reaction..

Ah? Not referring to this case

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I sincerely hope Dylan learns from this as well, he needs to start treating that beautiful girl a whole lot better.

Toss away the ****ing XBox and start doing community service instead.

Oh, and return to playing top quality footy!!

 

[HappilyManly]

Greenturd now on Fox 'we'll look at it'

NRL will be super busy next week with the JDB verdict out as well

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

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.

I find it quite disgusting that people on here and in other forums make defamatory comments about someone without any evidence. I probably find it disgusting, as a Manly supporter, that people on here would denigrate Walker's character on here again without the facts. I find it more disturbing that instead of welcoming and accepting the Judge's decision of innocence, we have some on here still throwing mud and in fact trying yo cast a shadow on the Judge's decision to in some way validate their own thoughts/position. Some of the people on here - the "supporters" should take a long hard look at themselves! Disgusting humans indeed sorry to say.

 

[mickqld]

Fly him UP NOW.

 

[Bearfax]

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

It's all public information now

Fair enough and you can state suspicions, which I must admit I also have, but as I said the court has made a judgement and to say things definitively that besmirches character is fraught with danger. Newspapers do it all the time, but they get sued for it as I've mentioned. But its water off a ducks back to them. They will as I said make money on the next story to cover the losses. Individuals like us don't have that luxury. If Walker was to read entries in Silvertails and noted his character being besmirched without justification, he would be free to take action.

Along with the Pearce penalty it seems

This is why I wonder why we have an ARLC - policy should be their responsibility

 

[eaglebuzz]

Walker should sue the NRL for loss of income (not playing for 9 weeks could have contract implications in future), emotional distress and defamation... And anything else I can't think of.

This policy was blatant guilty until proven innocent treatment, and a complete stain on the reputation of the game. Greenberg and Beattie can suck it, and should stand down immediately now that their no fault stand down policy has been exposed for the farce that it is.

You are not going to like the internet dude.

I’d say he’d have to be paid now , but what happens if we’ve spent that money on bringing up the Reggie’s to fill in??
