Don't think he's going to get banned from the NRL for that.

I wouldnt mind having him at Leeds.

Who wouldn't - who's a Leeds fan.

what did he do the link does not work.

Would love to see him at Leeds very much doubt it though.

He allegedly slapped a sponsor at the season launch party.

love to see him at any club in super league if he cud get a visa

Probably just be a fine, Stewart's offence could be more serious, if we bought him we'd have the best aussie full back in the world (IMO), best NZ full back in the world and the best english full back in the world (IMO)

If Stewart is being done for that, he could have about 7 years in the nick. no one would have him after that..... maybe bradford, not like they've tried signed anyone who has sexually assaulted a "bird"

Apparently the sponsor was only 5ft 5 and Watmough was just patting him on the back but mis-timed the pat!

Slapping a sponsor - always a good money raiser!

Can`t recall Bradford signing or either trying to sign anyone who has been done for sexually assaulting anyone.

Catalans have signed someone who may have assaulted someone, but not sexually so why just point towards us and not them?

In fairness, good player as he is, if he were banned from the NRL for reasons of delinquency, I would not welcome seeing him in Super League, with Leeds or anyone else.

errrrrrrrrrm Eastwood and others have been stopped from coming into the country due to criminal convictions etc. So if Watmough does get charged wouldn't that be a criminal conviction?

Would be a great signing, though I doubt we’d get him if he’s convicted and banned from the NRL.

i agree, those should be the rules,

but they arent so definately

I don't think there's any real question of a criminal conviction. It might be more a case of the NRL taking umbridge at mistreatment of their sponsors (doubt there'll be mre than a reprimand in it anyway). The thing that would bother me about it isn't the concern that he's a bad apple or that he shouldn't be allowed in the country, it's more the principle of having more players coming here who come solely and only because they can't get a gig in the NRL. That is not the way to improve Super League IMO.

he already has a assalt conviction . his a thug

Watching the Footy show on Setanta last night and it appears that Watmough will be discplined in house by Manly and that will suffice looks like no ban will be imposed by NRL .

Interesting that the NRL don't ban where the facts of the misdemeanour are in dispute but have chosen to ban Brett Stewart for 5 weeks.

He's their campaign pin up and it's more to do with him being out sh#t faced and bringing the game into disrepute than it is to do with the pending investigation.

yes . $10.000 fine

and a pineapple

Player's might want to consider whether to apply for the job in the future. Brett Stewart's comments on how honoured he was to have been chosen was breathtaking given the events that were to follow.
