Probably, alongside Gleeson. If not it will have been Bailey and Walker, I remember that being on the main evening news.

Its been headline news on Smooth radio (Newcastle based radio station) all day, headline even above Haiti news, fortunately most of the times they only used the word "rugby" instead of "rugby league".

why do so many rugby league fans have a chip on the shoulder regarding the media?

You went on a night out and expected not to be surrounded by tarts?

at least one sporting team a year gets caught up in this sort of scandal yet it rarely goes any further but the clubs name { and players by association and rumour] are dragged thru the mud
no doubt some 'source close to rugby league' [in reality the papers union editor] will say gangbanging is rife on tour and quote either a aussie story or a obscure incident in 1961

if this is yet another woman hoping to cash in a story by fabricating events then she should have her name plastered over the front pages of papers too

On the BBC's website - rather unfortunate use of words by Huddersfields M.D.

"Club managing director Richard Thewlis said there would be an [iinternal[/i inquiry into the allegation."

Hang your heads in shame. Total disregard for the girl in question. Nothing so far to say if it happened or didn't but you two are more worried about the name of the sport than the girl.

The only thing I 'hope' is that the truth comes out and if that tarnishes the sport then so be it.

I would add that I hope it didn't happen. And not because of the reputation of the game.

^^^^^ This should be the end of the thread. Spot on.

As for the monkey who said he lost interest after reading that the lass came from Newcastle....

I hope it comes to nothing and that justice is done, that would mean that nothing untoward happened, what is wrong with that?

Nothing.

Best off to read the full thread and understand the quote function before wading in. It'll assist in you not making a complete and utter fool of yourself next time. I doubt it though.

The person you quoted was commenting on what someone else had put, it was not his own thoughts.

You owe him an apology.

In a hypothetical situation if there was a 6 person rape there would be plenty of physical evidence, unless she forensically cleansed herself afterwards. They would be able to gather witness statements showing who was around her and who she left with etc.

BUT you have to say these cases very, very rarely reach conviction because they are more often than not maliciously/financially motivated. Kiss n' tells plague footballers and very often when they fail because the player isn't famous enough or the papers aren't interested they turn their targets onto the police in the hope they'll get a pre-court payout.

You have to wonder about the validity of a statement from someone who would allow herself to be in that position in the first place.

(Disclaimer, all of the above is NOT about the case being discussed, but about hotel rape cases involving sports stars in general)

The courts would seem to rlagreerl

HHT I was agreeing with the person in my quote i.e Monkey regarding the person who said they stopped reading at Gerodie Girl.

I have fully read the thread thanks.
