NRL Fantasy 2019 thread part 6

Mulvy wrote:Unless there is some evidence that JDB breached club/NRL standards like Barba did, I'm not sure I agree with suspending him. The presumption of innocence is one of the pillars of democracy. If he's the scumbag they say he is then throw the book at him, but until then I'm uncomfortable with the media bandwagon convicting him in the court of public opinion.

Lets say best case scenario, he ends up without a conviction. Even then he got caught and ended up in the media spotlight cheating on his pregnant wife and having sex with a team mate with the same woman. Definitely qualifies for putting the game in disrepute and under the current NRL leadership would lead to a ban for some period of time. Same as others before him that may not have done illegal things but got caught doing the wrong thing, like pissing in their own mouth, humping a dog, or getting caught on camera having sex. Would be amazed if they allowed a guy under a cloud like that to not get suspended when others have been done for much less, regardless of innocence of the charges.

The only thing putting me off L. Leilua is the Dragons play the Cowboys up there in round 1 & the fatigue from the heat could produce a dud round from him.

Just stay active over the season mate as i'm sure you will.

There's a thread for it and boys will give you a nudge with picks

Hopefully scares people waiting and seeing off him if that happens. Is just the first round.

Not worth wasting a trade getting him in after that tough is it surely? If you want him and reckon he makes good cash you get him from the start

I take your point but there were photos of said pissing in mouth which indeed bring the game into disrepute. I'm not aware of any evidence against JDB, only unsubstantiated allegations as far as I know (correct me if I'm ignorant). I really don't mean to be defending him, never liked him. I just believe in the presumption of innocence and the alternative is a slippery slope.

My understanding is that there are some facts both parties agree on. The differences are whether it was consensual or not.

I've been waiting all day!!

On JDB has there been anything in the media on what his wife is doing i.e. staying or leaving.

Well I guess we'll find out soon enough. In the mean time he can't play this weekend because of a "virus"........
