Yeah...I've heard what he has supposedly done and if true then I think he'll be out of work.

That pic doing the rounds is from years ago, and result of a car crash, however if true and he has done that he will be sacked and rightly so.
I hope he hasn’t, comes across as a decent character, obviously somethings happened though

Bernard Guasch will be licking his chops at the prospect of signing another free agent.

Surely those paragons of virtue over in Catalan will offer him an olive branch.

I'll be honest and admit I didn't know about Lui, if he did what people say I personally don't think he should be welcome in SL. High we got an integrity unit along the same lines as the NRL with strict guidelines. |

I think this is right - instead of pointing the finger at each other and saying ‘so and so played for you so you can’t talk’ (not on here but a lot of that is going on elsewhere) it’s about time we all held our hands up and agreed we’ve turned a blind eye to this sort of thing for too long and it’s about time we fixed it. Agree we need a code of conduct or something like that and if these accusations are proven to be true then Gelling needs to go. |

Agree we need a code of conduct or something like that and if these accusations are proven to be true then Gelling needs to go. I'm in full agreement here. After all, if you got done for the same behaviour you'd probably lose your job. The difference in this case is that you find a job elsewhere. I suppose the problem with professional sports people is that if they lose their job then they can't just get another job as the sporting body wont allow them to. I realise this is also relevant in the Folau case and is exactly why the RFL don't want to test the legalities which are grey to say the least. You then have to say that criminals get rehabilitation for their crimes with an effort placed on getting them back into work and back into society. Sports people don't seem to be afforded the same chances as convicted criminals. I realise that this contradicts my position on Folau somewhat and I've come to the conclusion that the same applies in his case and I was hasty to put my point of view across. It's a difficult thing to do the right thing. Take the high ground and cast the player out, contradicts the sports commitment to mental well being of those players who are obviously in need of guidance. Give them that guidance with a chance to turn themselves and behaviour around you get blasted for being too lenient. I know many would say if you make your bed then you lie in it, but it doesn't solve the issues at hand in a society that's supposed to offer second chances and do what is right. |

I don't understand why there isn't an RL equivalent of "community service" which could be a convenient halfway house (depending exactly what said individual has been found guilty of). You are stood down as a player (surely there is an argument that if you can't be trusted not to hit a woman, you can't be trusted to use the appropriate level of aggression in a sport that is partly based on the controlled use of it) but are then given an opportunity to spend a year (perhaps) on a reduced salary doing community work/a programme to show a level of penance and rehabilitation. Perhaps including anger management courses and such like if appropriate. If you complete the programme set out, you are considered again for registration. |

If I was convicted of ‘wounding with intent’ I’d never get another job in my current line of work - sportspeople can’t claim to be hard done by in this respect. |

If I was found guilty of any of these charges my glittering career as chauffeur to the stars would be over.
I think than begging to give these people a second chance they should be held accountable for not showing the type of professional image a great sport like our deserves.
