I tried copying the link to a Fox Sports article that has Latrell Mitchell charged with affray and resist arrest in Canberra and Jack Wighton with affray after a night of boozing to celebrate Wighton 30th. This happened last night.

Magpie , we're those examples charged and spent the night in jail ?
show me one that was and then the next day chauffeured back into camp ready to play like nothing happened and I'll agree with you . Till then , your examples are non comparable. Not even close.
Haha Pops "left-wing nutter?' I don't know about that mate. My background is coming from a poor family background and who has lived in an excellent close supportive community. I owe a lot to the incredibly great opportunity of being offered a Gough Whitlam free higher education that I struggled with mastering due to disadvantages in my early life. Understandably my lived experience has sympathy for those who are denied opportunities around inequality. You only have one life. If those values are left-wing what is wrong with that?
Nothing Tad, everyone loves you, your still a left wing "nutter".There's plenty out there that wear their heart on their sleeve, nothing wrong with that.....just live with the destinction.I'm sure you would prefer to be a left wing nutter than an arrogant prick! Lol
What happened to the NRLs stand down policy ? Does it not apply to all situations ? Resisting arrest , affray are not a light aqusation. Yet the NRL dished out a ban to Dylan Brown for someone illegally filming him in a toilet and sharing it online.
Guess it pays to be either aboriginal or at least pretend to be an Aboriginal. Have seen players stood down by the NRL for much less.
Attention pops ... exhibit A over here. Thanks for proving my point Wiz.
Your point is rubbish as usual. Show me a white player in the last decade that got arrested , fought with police and the NRL doesn't whack a suspension on them. Till then you're really going to struggle to show us that these clowns haven't been treated favourably due to being indigenous , or in Whightons case a Clayton's Aboriginal.
Wiz, I think the auto stand down policy only comes into effect if the potential sentence is 5 years plus. This is a GBB at worse. Probably a fine and no conviction recorded.
I've heard that the NRL is waiting until the court outcome.
Standdown rule comes into effect with a charge that carries a maximum sentence of 11 years or more.
Affray carries maximum of 10 years, the other charges are even less.
I dont think the standdown policy applies in this instance.
But combined ? There's more than the 11 years in potential charges combined.
I wonder if they played the don't you know who I am card when getting kicked out of the club and when police turned up.
Convenient that the released footage only shows Mitchell once he is on the ground yelling about his shoulder. I don't care who it is but usually the story is in what isn't said or shown by media.
Are we to believe 2 star footy players having a wrestle/fight and no one videoed anything until Mitchell was on the ground screaming like a bitch with coppers on him. The media are controlling the narrative on this with direction from the Rabbits, Raiders, NRL and Aboriginal right groups.
Why didn't they show where the police threw Mitchell to the ground, was it because he refused to listen to the police, carried on like an idiot and had to be restrained. Where is the footage that shows it was a friendly wrestle not a fight. Where is the footage when police arrived and gave move on orders that were ignored? Where is the rest of the story they refuse to share.
