read the post, where did i say wait for wait for a conviction? I'm saying lets not burn him as a witch till we know the truth, if hes done it we deal with it. And yes an awareness day from all clubs would be a brilliant idea given the incidents there have been.

if you read into the Falou case, there's a lot more to it than just a payout from he ARU, it had the potential to open a whole can of worms, the payout was the simplest solution.

But this is the rumours section I think we should leave it at player signings and departures and things relevant to Wigan

It wasn't for unfair dismissal they just wanted rid of him hence the $7 million(australian) payout it was the ARU that paid out and not his club team the Waratahs.

It was the ARU that sacked him, not the Waratahs AFAIA

A domestic violence awareness round would not be a bad idea.

Why would the Waratahs pay him off if they didn't sack him?

Because he was employed by them

His contract was with Rugby Australia. It's what sports with actual International programs do.

If you ever want to see how skewwhiffed British society is then ask yourself where's the 10 page thread on this, or the strongly worded statements from the club condemning the behaviour?

After all we got that over Falou right? Where's Warrington's next opponent asking domestic abuse victims to attend the game and flipping it into a PR stunt?

Obviously physical violence isn't as bad as sending a tweet out.

Exactly. I think domestic abuse and physical assault is a lot lot worse than saying you think drunks, adulterers and gays will go to hell unless they repent their sins.

Now if on the back of this if true, Warrington had a game which they took a stand against domestic abuse then I’d praise them, if an opposition club decided to have one on the spur of the moment to have a pop at Warrington I’d think it was spiteful and crass.

You really don’t get it do you, it’s sad really as comments like yours are part of the issue.
I’d just like to say that I don’t condone domestic violence whatsoever and if it is proven then he should suffer the consequences. But please don’t try to prioritise one form of abuse against another.
