Yeah me 2 Tc. It ****s these men don't realize they can't just behave how they feel like cos there footballers and expect to be let of every time. That's what really ****s me.
Shouldn't carp in your own nest (or next door even). League mentality (or lack thereof). :(

trial by media... probably not the best thing for the bloke... let it take it's course, I agree about the alcohol problem in league but then it's also amongst most in that age group. The issue though really is innocenct until "proven" guilty...

Regardless whether they play sport or not I just don't understand blokes who get on the turps and then turn into a.holes, particually when women are involved.
They're quick to blame booze but how come lots of blokes can have a skinful and not behave in such a manner to women? It must be an attitude thing. Its pathetic really, whether its a well known sports "star" or just your average punter.

Agreed Spicey.
No details have been published as yet and probably won't for some time, it's all heresay and innuendo at the moment. Lets let the legal system do it's job. Too many conflicting stories to come to any kind of conclusion on this.
something not quite right about this case

However, Stewart has clearly done enough wrong to warrant some legal court appearance, and seems to have gone at least a bit stupid after a couple too many beers.
He should be treated just like any other elite football player / top sportsman, no special treatment etc.
As long as the investigations etc. are all done fairly and honestly.
I am as shocked as anyone - I have been loving his brilliant onfield play over the past few years, such a shame he has slipped up this time.
Go Sea Eagles through all the good times and bad, regardless!

Don't know about it being Watmough's version, he hasn't been quoted saying anything.

watmough is a great player but he is a dumb thug, stewart is a smart guy and i wonder if he really cant remember what he did, if so it will be interesting to see how his lawyer defends him.
there are two sides
Witnesses have now come forward to claim Watmough was not to blame for the ugly scenes involving Mr Durazza - who is, ironically, Stewart's personal sponsor.
Gallery: Sarah Durazza and the confrontation
It is understood Watmough told Mr Durazza he should be "embarrassed" for allowing his daughter to attend a rugby league function wearing a short white skirt.
Another witness said Mr Durazza was ejected from the bar after initially confronting Watmough over his comments, before re-entering the premises and charging at the player. Bar staff and players were needed to restrain Mr Durazza before he was asked to leave for a second time.
"What should I do? I was defending myself," Watmough said. "He was charging me. I just pushed him away. It was not a punch. There are 100 people who will sign sworn statements to back me up."

Anger as Brett Stewart stood down by NRL
AAPMarch 11, 2009 01:08pm
THE Rugby League Players' Association has condemned the NRL's move to stand down Manly star Brett Stewart from playing football until round five.
Stewart has been charged with the sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl at North Manly following a boozy club season launch.
The NRL today said it had banned Stewart from playing rugby league until round five - after his assault charge is heard in court on April 7.
The RLPA supports Stewart's right to continue playing football while the matter goes through the courts.
"The Rugby League Players' Association's position has always been to support the rights of its members and as a general rule, a player should not be stood down from playing and fulfilling his contractual commitments to his club because he has been charged with a criminal offence particularly where the player has indicated that he will defend the charge," said RLPA managing director Matt Rodwell.
"A player like any other person in the community is entitled to the presumption of innocence - the basis of the judicial system in Australia."

I think stewart should cop the fine, Or at least a larger portion of it. These players are no good for the game. I don't think an alchol ban would work though as it would be to hard to police and it's unfair for the few blokes who know how to handle themselves.

Many standards and much spin. In a nutshell all facets of football and even Olympic swimming have major issues with alcohol related incidents be it sexual, violence or neanderthal such as Todd Carney's serial behaviour.

These players are people that the public look up to and they need to understand that their actions have an impact on the grater community. They shouldn't be acting in ways that will be a determent to their image.
As much as they may not like being in the public eye it's something that comes with the job.

DNA tests conducted by police on Manly fullback Brett Stewart have not come up with any results to support the sexual assault charges against him, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Police took DNA samples from both Stewart and the alleged 17-year-old victim after sexual assault claims were made aginast the fullback last Friday night.
The tests were returned to police this afternoon, with the results from both turning up no supportiong evidence.
The sexual assault charges against the 24-year-old still stand despite the new developments.

Absolutely no relevance whatsoever.
I know you are a dyed in the wool Manly supporter but do you really think Brett Stewart has been unfairly treated in the situation?
He has a contract with the NRL (in coordination with his club) with specific clauses regarding bringing the game in to disrepute etc etc
Has he broken that contract?
I put to you he has. Not by the allegation but by being as ****ed as 10 men in public before the alleged incident.
Has Whatmough broken that contract?
I put to you he has. For exactly the same reason as above.
Did Greg Bird break a similiar contract?
Yes he did.
Bird was shafted from the game before he was even charged and on that basis alone you cannot say Stewart has been harshly treated. I am not a legal mind but I reckon sexual assault might be a bit higher up the scale as opposed to aggravated assault (purely guessing here)
Are there other examples which seem to point towards double standards?
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just look at Whatmough for starters!
But as "the face" of Rugby League in season 2009, Stewart has to cop it on the chin at this stage to make the bosses of the game "look" as though they are doing the right thing

The Frog
12-03-2009, 10:52 PM
Yes I am a Manly supporter.
Do I think Stewart has been treated harshly? in regards to the suspensison yes.
As far the the drinking goes, Stewart was refused service and told to leave so he got a cab home just before 8pm....happens every night hundreds of people in Manly on a weekend. Apparently the NRL tells us this is why he was suspended. Watmough was drinking and had an altercation and the NRL did nothing (I hear the Manly club will now take action against him and not reveal the details).
Matthew Johns put it to David Gallop tonight that is was a double standard and other players have done similar in the past without penalty including Darren Lockyer. Gallop pretty much said it was cause he was the face of the NRL (a tag Stewart didn't ask for). It shouldn't matter how much money you are on or if you are on an advertisement...they sign the same contracts and should all be treated equally.
As for the Greg Bird incident. His contract was terminated once it was found out he lied to the club and Police and tried to cover it up by blaming an innocent person. Remember his girlfriend didn't deny he did it, she just wanted the charges dropped which the Police wouldn't do.
As for the girls father, yes it is drawing a long bow. There are too many conflicting stories to know what happened ir anything.

Been happening for years and still will for years to come.
The really, really talented ones get cocooned within the club protectionist mentality of "silly young boy" etc etc but then they get the "I am invincible" head on and think they can behave like that in the real world when we all know now in a world of 24/7 scrutiny they cannot!!

As for NRL, it's hard for them because they are trying to battle very negative press and be seen to be doing something so probably the right move by them....

The really, really talented ones get cocooned within the club protectionist mentality of "silly young boy" etc etc but then they get the "I am invincible" head on and think they can behave like that in the real world when we all know now in a world of 24/7 scrutiny they cannot!! Words of experience there ;)
And I agree 100%.

Yeah I reckon to swede. That's the most commited they've played in years. I was wandering after the first 15 wether they'd be able to keep it going at that pace. I'm a little worried about my roosters now.
