So why is the guy who filmed MP protected.

[Johnny Tobin]

I am not convinced that the named individual is innocent and is the "wrong" person.
To me a person that did the filming and sold it is hardly going to show the morals to admit to it

More likely would be someone who denies it.

My thoughts as well. But it is reported that he is suing Channel 7 and Fairfax. I am sure that they will bring up Copley and the others present to identify whether Jack was in the room and whether he was taking the video. If this isn't the right Jack then the real Jack is a gutless carnt happy for someone else to take the fall.

Some clueless fools (one in particular) seem to think what JJ did was illegal yet police and RSPCA can't lay any charges. The lesbian who was smiling after the kiss also did not press any charges.

If defamation charges are taken, then surely people are going to need to know who filmed it, copley and nikorima should be able to lead them to the house of horrors to get some answers.

[Johnny Tobin]

He really will be an idiot if he sues them.

The lawyers would cost double what he could hope to get in damages.

Sad but true.

Though the thought of seeing Massoud in the box fills me with great pleasure.

the mole had this to say this morning, who knows if its true, but given the nature of our offseason so far sounds like the kind of thing that would happen to us.


The Mitchell Pearce saga has taken another major twist – I’ve been told that the mystery man who took the now infamous video is a good friend of one of the star halfback’s team-mates.
The mate went along with the Roosters players on their post-Harbour cruise bonding session and sold the damning video to both Channel Nine’s A Current Affair and News Limited for a fortune.
The fact that he is buddies with a fellow Rooster has the potential to create a rift within the embattled club’s ranks.
Pearce will now have to make peace with his team-mate – a representative forward – when he returns to Sydney and attempts to return to footy.
The Roosters are already reeling and in damage control over the incident – with Pearce heading overseas to escape the heat and get some much-needed counselling for his problems with alcohol abuse.

If that is even remotely true, Pearce should just not come back. To call him a divisive character is like saying Jesus was an okay guy.

No prize for guessing who "the representative forward" is.

[fletch]

No prize for guessing who "the representative forward" is.

assuming that its an Australian/QLD/NSW forward rather than a Kiwi, that narrows the field down to two, I know who my money would be on.

Someone who is very much maligned on here.

Is prolly why uncle wants SBW on board ASAP

[Tommy Smith]

The rep forward can't be held responsible for the actions of his ****y friend, who needs stringing up.

Regardless of what happens from hear on in, I do believe that this will prove to be a seminal moment in Mitchell Pearce's life and career. And perhaps the same for this current batch of Roosters players.

Point being, as much of a dog act as it was to film Pearce - no pun intended - it's probably a good thing as it brought to the fore our rampant party & drinking culture.

Dare I say it might even galvanise and focus the squad and we might see the combination of our brutal forward pack and talented young backs wreak havoc this season come finals time.

Oh really? So it's not a Cordner then. So it's the friend of a QLD rep?

.

Pearce , as captain, only managed to con a couple of newbies to accompany him on this bender.
At least the rest of our team got some sleep, I assume.

Nope it's definitely not Cordner.

Maligned by the idiots and well respected by the coaching staff. It is no surprise.

[Salvatori Grubber]

In terms of the OP, I think that the video guy should have his name released. It would be fair and (not even) equitable, I think.

That said, I don't blame him (lowlife cnut that he is) for Pearce's stupidity.
