not ducking again.


they should have a curfew on players....


a week to go and all hell breaks loose again and again grrrrrrr.

seems i jumped the gun believing the media

benji was apparently baited by a group of ten guys whilst with his girlfriend and a friend, being the victim of racial taunts etc

then when benji sticks up for himself the guy runs to the police.

man what a dog

Strange eh?

Brett Stewart and now the nicest man in Rugby League Benji Marshall, which player will be daft enough to be the face of RL next year?

'Tis cursed

If he was being baited and feared for his safety he should have called the police, not taking the law into his own hands.

next time the nrl should just make paul gallen the face the nrl

maybe with our jinx itll turn him into a nice guy

Lets hope he gets suitably punished.

Yet ANOTHER player dragging the name of Rugby League through the gutter.

I think a $30,000 fine should do it.

Technically though seeing as this case is pending a court hearing we should not be discussing what may or may not have happened.



Please.

so phipps if you or your partner were been racially abused you'd just go to the police me thinks not you would defend yourself or your partner for that fact and that is fact

Can't speak for others on here, but personally, the person who abused me or my wife racially would have had trouble crawling to the police, never mind actually speaking. It is easy for peole to say "he should just walk away', but why should he?

Yes, it's unfortunate that he is the face of the NRL, but the fact that someone felt it was OK to racially abuse him and his partner is more disturbing. As for curfews.....WTF? These guys put their bodies on the line for our entertainment...they should be able to go out and enjoy themselves without some nomark starting trouble. I personally hope Benji gets off on the grounds of provocation and the idiot who started it gets fined.

Nothing thats been said on here so far has gone into the realms of unacceptability but as he has been charged and until I find out more i'll lock it for now. It will be re-opened when the time is right though but until then theres no discussion on the matter.
