Worst thing about this story is the fact he was trying to get in Mojo tbh. Skanky, overcrowded place full of knobs. Music's alright though.

I think Slater has been lucky with the outcome. The other party didn't really punch him from what I can see. Slater is a strong guy and the other fella looked about 7 stone we through. I think those factors would be taken into account if push had come to shove. As someone said, if the other party had hit the deck and suffered a serious injury or worse I think Billy Slater wouldn't be going back to Oz for a very long time. Luckily, it seems no great harm has been done.

well, at least it would mean there was at least a modicum of Irish involvement at this RLWC then

Yes of course how silly of me. I am going to 'phone McNamara and tell him to let the England squad on the beer immediately.

Wake up to yourself. He's deliberately kicked someone in the head whilslt catching a bomb in the season gone. Then left his leg in the air again!!! He's kicked balls out of people's arms in the act of try scoring. He even left a foot in there after a bomb he kicked against Ireland recently. He's a little grub, a lot of people at NRL clubs know it.

Role model my arsé.

Well at least we all now know what 'grub' and 'king hit' mean. Stupid Aussies.

The Rooster Booster is a proud Brit, surprised you have not noticed that in his posts.
The man that hit Slater looked pretty smart.............. must be one of those clever Mancunians

You needn't bother, as they aren't totally banned from beer in the first place. But I hope you have more luck in getting to speak to McNamara than you have in understanding my humour.

Well done you for telling the police, and sadly us, what they need to do to carry out the job for which they are highly trained to carry out.

Few more pointers you could drop;

1. Teach those mothers, whose daughters themselves have children, how to suck eggs.
2. Tell librarians they might want to start using the Dewey Decimal system to order their books.
3. Have a word with the Supreme Pontiff and give him direction on how we came into being.

You have a strange way of writing, I am guessing there is either a breakdown in your understanding of what is meant by the word "condescending" in the English language (shouldn't be too difficult, it derives from your part of the world) or you genuinely are [ithat[/i bloke in a bar that no one wants to talk to yet some poor sod will end up the unlucky bugger having to listen to your "opinions" on everything while his mates are stood several yards away laughing at how he has been cornered by you.

Give it a rest, pretty much everyone on this site happens to be an adult, to that end I think we have a basic understanding of the machinations of law.

Bore off.

There is a third option for what motivates Jean, and your post is ample demonstration that he does what he does very effectively.

I don't know, I think he may have savant qualities, which would definitely explain his actions.

They arrest people for a minor altercation like that? One bloke bitch slaps another who retaliates with a half baked punch. Geez the cells must be full on a Saturday night in Manchester!

Its a bit of a nothing, really.

Billy was prevoked, but it wouldn't have been that hard for him to be the bigger man (especially given he was standing right in front of the doorstaff).
As for the other guy, he definitely bit off more than he could(or was expecting to) chew.

He was lucky it was only Slater and not a prop or he wouldn't be biting anything again!

Slater's lifting of the leg in defence while catching high bombs is considered legal by the NRL.

You are just another bitter Slater Hater.
