De Belin to train and play before court case.

Ok I’m all for innocent until proven guilty and I have no issue with it in the aforementioned case. What I do have an issue with is the double standards. I believe we lost Semi because of the way he was treated by the NRL and losing his Australian jumper was the icing on the cake when he was innocent. Ihave a beautiful wife and daughter so don’t get me wrong there is absolutely no place for any sort of violence against women or for that fact anyone at all from players but like I said the double standards really get under my skin. I know a lot of people will say Semi left for the dollars he may well have but I do believe his decision would have been harder had he not been treated the way he was. There has been so many cases of double standards , throw them in the comments see how many we can highlight.

  • Not to mention how he was treated by the media and Erin Molan.  And then when he was found not guilty, not even an apology.

    • To true

    • I hope your right Mack and they have learnt.

  • Semi was allowed to play and train for Parra in the lead up to his trial just like De Bellin can. Don't you remember that first game against the Sharks where the crowd were calling him a wife basher? That was months before his trial. 

    • Yes I remember the sledging he copped and I was aware that he trained and played but it was assumed by Mal the media and in comments from the NRL that Semi was guilty. Like I said why would he stick around after that.

      • Then there are no double standards if they both could do the same thing (training and playing).The NRL didn't say anything regarding Semi's guilt, the same as they have said nothing about De Bellin's guilt. They learnt from the Brett Stewart incident. Erin Molan said stupid shit but she is just a dumb arse journalist.

         

        • There sure is if they learnt from Brett Stewart in 2010 I might add why did it happen to SKD and Semi. There has been many cover ups some clubs get away with it and some don’t . I was mainly asking for other instances.  If you can’t see that I think I’m wasting my time. Have a lovely night

  • I think he should be able to train I don't know for certain but word is the girl who accused him has done this before. As you said he is innocent until proven guilty and she has the right to be taken seriously and to go through the process. I think word is he will get off though and hasn't done anything.

    In terms of comparisons I think Greg inglis would be a better one to semi. quite a lot of smoke saying he has done it twice and has had it been covered up. Didn't meninga make some statement about violence against women when dropping semi , he would have known full well about Greg and still picked him for qld\aus. Then greenturd is happy enough to give him a character witness for drink driving but that is true to form, when you consider his role in covering up Ben barbas DV. Greenturd is a self serving cunt who is only out to make himself look good in any situation , if it would make him look good to ban de Belin we will. 

    • Like I said mate that’s the exact double standards I was talking about . I really hope it didn’t happen to the young lady so I guess we will wait and see.

        • Nah, it was the front bum that caused the problems
