He’s probably shadow boxing in another room.
Underrated comment

A little since the Podcast with Johns. But back to zero now after his BS hysteria and steadfast defence of the ear twister.GreenMachine wrote: ↑September 10, 2019, 10:13 pmAssuming he had any credibility to begin with.Old School Green wrote: ↑September 10, 2019, 10:06 pm Finch lost all credibility with his hysteria.

Agree.Green thumbs wrote: ↑September 10, 2019, 10:38 pm I really feel this was trial by media.
Pompey had nothing to gain by giving a statement that he felt nothing at all at the time. I think he was tricked into agreeing that what happen on the field stays there - he didn’t actually say that himself, but was asked if he agreed with the statement. Then basically, his evidence is thrown out the window because of that!
Anyway, what I’m really concerned about right now, is Hudson Young’s mental state. He was already upset and anxious, and right now, I’d make sure he has a supportive buddy, asking him every day (or more) Are you OK?? I hope the Raiders have a good plan to look after him and help him get through this a stronger, more sensible person.

Does the World Club challenge count?
Can we legally just "rip up" a contract? Im sure they all have behavioural clauses and the like but for an on field incident im slightly more doubtfulRedRaider wrote: ↑September 10, 2019, 10:42 pm So the NRL punishment is 8 matches. What will the Raiders do with the multi-offender? Imo we should get the perpetrators of eye gouges and face rakes out of the game. He had a potential role in our first finals series in 3 years. He chose to be a grub. Tear up his contract or hock him to ESL. He has put an unwanted stain on the lime green jersey.
So basically he was punished because all the evidence, witnesses, said one thing, but they had made up their mind regardless. We don't even need him for the finals, I'm just constantly pissed off at the "inconsistent" (bias) Bull. Waerea-Hargreaves walks free for a hit that could have knocked the last few braincells of another player out. He even gets to face the same guy again a week later, it being a rare occasion where the suspension would have benefited the club who was disadvantaged. It's wall to wall Bull on how this game is run...Pompey also denied any gouging by Young, responding with "no" to repeated questioning about feeling any contact, pressure or pain to his eyes.
"I didn't feel anything at all," Pompey said.
But the youngster appeared to undermine his testimony by saying "yes", when asked by McGrath whether he believed 'what happens on the field should stay on the field?'
NRL judiciary chairman Geoff Bellew in turn told the three-man panel of Mal Cochrane, Dallas Johnson and Tony Puletua to consider whether Pompey’s evidence is “influenced by a sense of loyalty to another professional footballer”.
Ghabar also pointed to Pompey's lack of reaction to the incident immediately afterwards as a mitigating factor.

Saying that he deserved to cop a hit to face? It was just so amateur to demonize HY's actions whilst saying he deserved something the NRL is so staunchly trying to removing from the game. I am sick to death of the Fox 24 hour news cycle, it's relentless hysteria, the only good hysteria is def leopards hysteria, photograph is a great song.
Well said.greeneyed wrote: ↑September 11, 2019, 12:32 am I'm glad the club has done all they can to defend Hudson Young. He's a good young bloke and has been through an awful lot with the media hysteria... and some really horrible "commentary" from people in the media. Heart goes out to him and his family. I think Ricky Stuart will take the right steps from here... I've got every faith that he will and will help Young develop further as a player with the Raiders and as a person. I think the club has done the right thing and will do the right thing.
Very well said, Gerg. I know raiders fans simply love to play the victim in each and every situation, but if you’re looking for the victim in this scenario (other than the player who had the attempted gouge happen to him), it’s the Canberra Raiders club from Hudson Young himself.gergreg wrote:What is all this poor Hudson Bull?
Let me just say I speak with some actual knowledge on this issue. I am vision impaired, have been for over 30 years and will be for the rest of my life. There is simply no place in the game for someone sticking their fingers in the eye region. It is completely unnecessary, this is his third offence. The league should be harsher on all 3 blokes who have done it, noting that all 3 are repeat offenders they should all be sitting out for close to a year. I don't care how good a bloke he might be. He can still be a good bloke not playing rugby league.
