Moral code or baggage?
Looks like the Council is reconsidering the Rozelle tree contract and may shred the contract.

FMD Quinquenervia was committed to the tackle, Kent was dropping when he hit him. Not even worth ten minutes in the bin.

Anasta at the start of the show last night just said about Kent, "Kent has been stood down pending an investigation" and that was it. I noticed a couple of smirks on the panels faces, such is the life of a Rugby league jurno.

Paul Kent in hospital with suspected collapsed lung and broken ribs
by Chris Barrett
Rugby league personality Paul Kent is being treated in hospital for a suspected collapsed lung and as many as five broken ribs after a street fight in Sydney’s inner west on Saturday night.
Kent, the Fox Sports NRL 360 co-host and Daily Telegraph columnist, has been stood down by his employer News Corp while it reviews his involvement in the melee.
A 35-year-old man has been charged with affray over the incident with Kent, vision of which was captured on a phone camera and posted on social media.
The man was subsequently left with a head injury after a bystander intervened.
On Tuesday, it emerged that Kent had also been badly hurt and admitted to hospital after the altercation.
Kent’s lawyer, George Elias, told this masthead that he was undergoing tests in hospital to determine whether he had sustained a collapsed lung after he was flung into a roadside tree by the man he squared up against.
Kent also has between four and five broken ribs, he said.
“He’s been in hospital since after the incident,” Elias said. “I’m just concerned about his health and wellbeing.”
On Tuesday, the 35-year-old man’s high-profile lawyer, Chris Murphy, said he expected Kent, 54, would also be charged by police over the brawl, which occurred outside the venue Three Weeds Rozelle. Police were continuing to investigate.
“I believe my client was the subject of violence from two other men and this was occasioned to him while he was retreating from Paul Kent,” Murphy said.
“A group walked past [the venue] and Paul Kent accused him of saying something. It just didn’t happen. My client didn’t know who Kent was until someone said, ‘C’mon Paul, back off Kenty’ and tried to restrain Kent. But he broke away from them and came at my client.”
Kent had been drinking at the Sackville Hotel, a 10-minute walk away on Rozelle’s main strip Darling Street. He lives close by in Lilyfield.
Vision of the scuffle appears to show Kent accusing the man of saying something derogatory towards him as he walked past, before calling him a “doghead” and then taking his watch off and brushing off attempts to hold him back.
It then appears that Kent shapes up to the man, cocks his fist and charges at him, before being tossed head first by the man into the base of a tree on the other side of the street. Footage shows the 35-year-old then being tackled onto the footpath by another man, who had initially tried to restrain Kent. The man suffered an injury to the back of his head, for which he has sought medical attention. A photograph of the man shows a large lump at the back of his head, which he alleges remains swollen and has caused him to be unable to sleep and have dizzy spells. He also alleges he sustained cuts to his back.
Murphy said his client does not drink and had been about to travel home after having a meal at Totti’s Italian restaurant, which is in Three Weeds.
“He was out for dinner with his wife and another couple at Totti’s restaurant. They had a reservation, they paid for their meal and were leaving. He was on the step with the other couple waiting for his wife to come down the stairs,” he said.
“He was approached by Kent and retreated.
“If this matter ends up in a courtroom, Mr Kent will be subject to very close cross-examination.”
Kent was contacted for comment.
One of Sydney’s most well-known defence lawyers, Murphy also has a long history of acting for rugby league players in criminal and football matters, from the late Immortal Johnny Raper to Hazem El Masri and members of the Burgess family.
He said the man he was representing over the brawl with Kent had presented himself to police before being charged but had not given a statement. His wife and the couple they were out with had also not been interviewed.
Kent was replaced in his NRL 360 co-hosting chair on Monday night by former England international James Graham.
“Paul Kent is not with us tonight. Paul has been stood down from Fox Sports while an investigation takes place into an incident over the weekend,” said fellow host Braith Anasta in a statement opening the program.

The bump on the back of the other bloke's head (after he was tackled onto the footpath by Kenty's mate) looks horrible as well.
Also, since when is a drunken old f**kwit attacking one other bloke a "melee"?
I couldn’t hold my disdain when I read this quote from Kent’s lawyer, George Elias. It really takes a special kind a human to be a lawyer…

I think they missed the end of the quote which went on to say..."as this could affect my paycheque"
Kenty should have left his watch on
Trouble for him is the way he goes about his job , amazing he still has one after all the defamation payouts
Have zero sympathy for him at all, the blatant lies he printed as fact on Brett Stewart have caused far worse for Brett than anything Kent will ever cop
James Graham goes well

He has a history of coming up with peculiar insults. When referring to Penrith players, he said that outside of Yeo and Edwards, “The rest just act like rat mugs.”

I wondered if Chris Murphy and Kent had history. He seemed very happy that he was able to get himself involved.
