Taken from BBC -
Australia full-back Billy Slater was detained but released without charge by police in Manchester following a nightclub incident in the early hours of Monday morning, team management confirm.
The Australian management are satisfied that Slater was the victim of the incident, which comes as the team prepare to begin their preparations for Saturday's quarter-final against USA in Wrexham.
Going off that you would assume the night out was sanctioned unlike in Hock's case. |

Well the police have finished dealing with it. Released without charge apparently, after acting in self defence. I wonder how stupid the attacker feels deciding to jump a smaller guy and finding out he's a pro rugby player  |

Imagine if he had been English? There would be a ten page thread by now saying he had disgraced the game etc etc.

To be fair to his attacker, Slater has a very punchable face I think.

He has been released without charge and has no case to answer, either from the police or Australia.
He tried to split up a fight and then got a slap and acted in self-defence.

Maybe England should take note of the statement that the Aussies made and learn from it.

Except Slater didn't do anything wrong so it's a considerably easier statement to make! |

Ah yes, one bloke gets into a scuffle with a few wannabes, probably trying to incite the situation, and one bloke can’t even be bothered to go to training the next day after a boozing session.
I can see the parallels. |

How do you know that Billy Slater was the small guy, were you there?

Personally if I was an Aussie supporter, I wouldn't be over the moon to learn players are out to the early hours drinking. However if there is no drinking ban, no curfew and no charge, its story over. I'm taking it from this thread that the first two surprising (for me anyway) facts are correct.

Considering how many representative trophies he's won if he was English I'd say he could do what he liked.
Gareth hock and the rest have won f' all in an England or GB shirt

Was the aggressor a Midget?
Slater is not big in anyone's imagination.
He is 5ft 10 inches
