As a victim I'll reinforce my opinions...

I was homeless for more than 12 months due to DV. My entire bank account was drained (she withdrew it all including inheritance money that I'd saved from the age of 6), I literally live with scars on my face, I suffered from PTSD (not just an 'army soldiers thing) and my career + confidence took a hit.

Not saying it's easy but I rebuilt my life and my honest opinion is that what happened doesn't give me the right to be a life-long bitter f*ck who blames his ex for every single loss of opportunity.

I saw a paychologist, went back to uni, got my law degree, worked full-time and dragged my life back together (I'm now successfully re-married, own 2 houses and am reasonably stable/successful). Wasn't fun but IMO we all experience bad things in life.

Mini's career nearly ended due to a horrible tackle. You can choose to keep hating that person your whole life or do the rehab, take responsibility for getting your own life on track and pave a way forward.

I'm not saying victims have no right to blame people who hurt them. But... why spend my whole life hating my ex and saying 'I'm effed up because of her'. No... I'm successful because I refuse to let what happened some years ago define me.

I don't keep in touch with her or have any idea what she's doing now but IMO it's not wrong of me to wish her a good life. She was effed up and made a lot of bad mistakes. She lost her marriage, her career (as a teacher) and her friends (who all got behind her and hated on me until she was convicted - then they bailed on both of us). She has a criminal conviction that will stay around as a reminder of what she's not allowed to do. For society's sake I hope she's found her feet and moved on from the person she was, I hold no grudges despite my scars...

If I saw her on TV doing something good and getting paid for it, I would not have a negative reaction to it. I'd be happy to see that the justice system has been able to reform somebody. And you know sadly... I don't think I'll see that. My understanding is that she went back to her birth country, lives in her parents' spare room, doesn't work, doesn't have friends and blames me for all this because after years of abuse I let the cops take photos of my injuries while I lay in hospital (the morning after an attempt murder). My wish is that she'll one day take ownership of what she did and do something useful for society to redeem herself.

Well done to you mate . And well said. 👍

I'd never heard of this guy before we signed him. I can only think he must be a special player if we are prepared to sign a guy with such poor character, not to mention the risks that go with it.

Who cares how many people he has bashedand what gender they are as long as he can play footy that's all that counts. This is rugby league not a morality contest. The problem is you have too many cucks in this world now like Danish who get triggered every 15 seconds over something or other and sudden you gotta think of the children and women and can't use gender specific pronouns, soon we will had NRL safe spaces. They same people getting all moral high and mighty probably want the punch ons in the game to return. Violence is acceptable only on your terms. Stop watching a violent sport played by violent men.

I agree with this post 1000%.

Rugby league is a primal sport played by mostly men who have brains like primates.

There are so many things wrong with your post that I'll assume you're trolling.

I think this is why people are getting upset:

His barrister, Julieanne Levick, said Tetevano was now working 60 hours a week and had no intentions of returning to the ‘‘limelight’’ of professional rugby league.

‘‘He has no desire to return to the toxic environment that the NRL invites.’’

Wasn't that a statement made at court a couple of years ago?

He must have changed his mind as his life has probably changed since then and hopefully for the better.

Im not quite sure what point you and the boogieman are making here.

Surely not that, because RL is a violent game, its understandable the participants will be violent off it (incl towards women) ??

Using that logic, I'd better start hiding my money under the mattress and not trust banks. A bouncer was knocked senseless near my workplace by a very drunk merchant banker...There is violence in all walks of life and in all industries and that is why there are jails in every country. And as for the person on here mocking the term 'safe space', I expect my home to be safe, I expect my place of business to be safe and I expect my walk to the bus stop every day to be safe. Wait until it happens to YOU and then you will be begging for a 'safe space'..Someone was king hit at Bondi Beach the other day, fell off a wall backwards, and had severe shoulder damage. That happened at 1.30pm by the way, not 1.30am...

It's 2 years since the Lindt Café siege happened just 600m from where I work..so yes, some of us are a little wary of people with violent tendencies and pasts. And as for making fun of Danish, he is very open in discussing why he feels the way he does about violence towards women and with good valid reasons. If he wishes to rediscuss these reasons on here again for the pig ignorant, I'm sure he will.

It was actually just last year Sonny, that's why I am confused. If it were a much older quote, I would not have bothered..I don't know why he chose the most 'under the microscope' club in the NRL to play for if that is how he feels about the NRL..

Yep, it's not like any Rooster can fly under the radar! Look at how many times Anthony Watts gets called "former Rooster"...it makes for good clickbait..

[redwhiteblue]

Thanks mate, you sound like a pretty good bloke too.

Why thank yuh, thank yuh very much Elvis..but I'm not actually a bloke. There are lots of Elvisess around these parts, or should that be Elvi?

SO you'd be cool with it if he'd been chinning your sister/daughter?

Violence and aggression aren't the same thing.
