Good to hear - I know his lawyers wanted it suppressed permanently. Doubtful he'd get jail time given he'll be punished through that indigenous court but he might cop more time out of the game if footage is as bad as it allegedly is...

Wow, they say that its bad, really bad.

Greenberg has apparently seen the footage hence his suspension so can't see him getting anymore.

Maybe a spear in the leg, traditional style justice?!

The warm up.

Is it like jamil? He got gaol time and blacklisted from an nrl contract. Serious assaults are taken seriously by the courts.

The warm up.

I can see why he's trying it on with drunks, he punches like one when he's sober!

Public outcry might put some heat on him Stu - it's an interesting one.

Raiders star Jack Wighton has been fined $3,500 and copped a two-month suspended jail sentence for a drunken and violent rampage in Canberra in February.
Wighton fronted a panel of Aboriginal elders in the ACT magistrates court on Wednesday, who then made a recommendation on his sentencing.

“Everywhere I go now I’m not known for being the nice guy or a good footy player. Now, everyone is riding me about the whole situation,” he told the court.

[Cliffymagic]

[Cliffymagic]

You're right - The initial footage I have seen was pretty tame compared to what was supposed to have occurred.

"Wighton told the court he had received counselling since the incident, and was volunteering with young children.

The NRL fullback said he was remorseful, and had hoped to apologise in person to the victims — but they did not want to participate".

It is a shame we don't afford the "young children" the same consideration shown the victims ...... why is it every drug adled idiot ends up thinking they are somehow qualified and say they want to be a councilor and work with children ..... I wouldn't let the numbnut thug anywhere near mine .....

 

[MissKate]

Thought you had to pass a police check before working with young children, how did that get approved with his charges hanging over his head
