NRL in the right direction....
Is it just me or does everyone think the NRL is moving in the right direction…but still needs to take a good hard look at itself….
THE career of the Cronulla Sharks player Tevita Latu is over, despite a tearful plea to his club last night the Sharks ripped up his two year contract and the National Rugby League deregistered Latu, for punching a young woman and breaking her nose.
NRL chief executive, David Gallop, said it would refuse to register Latu if another club wanted to sign him.
He also urged overseas clubs and other codes, such as rugby union, to respect the NRL stand.
What actually happened in a Sydney Servo on Monday morning is still a little unclear to me…but it goes something like this..
Latu was out at a night club with a group of players, including Billy Ngawini from the Bulldogs…
When they left the club they all went to the servo for snacks…where Latu got into a slanging match with 19 Year old Brooke Pennington from the NSW central coast…
At one stage she says he through chips over her…she pushed him away and he punched her with full force in the face…breaking her nose and causing her to fall to the ground…
Billy Ngawini is said to have rushed to her aid, taking her to hospital, where she was treated for a broken nose, two black eyes and a swollen lip…
Latu has tried to call Miss Peninton to apologise but she has refused to take his calls.
The NRL is proud of itself this morning…
Sharks Cjhief Executive Greg Pierce said Latu knows he did the wrong thing “theres a time when you have to take a stand, and there is some behavious that is clearly not acceptable…
NRL boss David Gallop said…
"Rugby league has been at the forefront of campaigns condemning violence against women, and that makes these circumstances all the more alarming," Mr Gallop said.
Couldn’t agree more boys…now lets talk about Craig Gower.....
