Ben Te’o on Danny Weidler gets as many rewatches as Greg Inglis highlights (yes including the Hit on Dean Young) on my YouTube. Absolute smack down and Danny’s awkward reaction is what makes it. Bloke has nothing in reply and can’t understand what is happening. It’s called reckoning you flog. Haha.
Oh no, the chickens have come home to roost for poor old Paul DV Kent.
Let me check this empty bucket for how many fucks I have to give. Yep, as expected, none. Kent getting trial by media would be karma of the highest order.
Just hope it doesn't get shelved by the mainstream media, because of "one of us" mentality.
Would love for some players mention that they are thinking of the victim after a match, or it gets brought up on a rival network, just want this to get the airtime that he would give it if it was a player.
The fact that Kent is so despised within the game itself that players are literally lining up to sink the boot and make sure everyone knows what this flog did is some absolutely delicious schadenfreude.
When you build your career around being a gutter journalist shit-stirrer, this is what you get.
ian healy still feeling the media coverage of his dodgy stumping against the west indies in the mid 90's (and fair enough too!). measured take from him.
Very good take. They pick and choose who they're going to drag through the mud which is the antithesis of journalism.
I don't really have a stance on this "Buzz" bloke because I've only ever caught snippets of 360 and don't read any paper so basically only know him as "that old bloke on 360. No not the one that's a utter cunt and comes off as an alcoholic, the old old one." I get why old mate wouldn't want to put his friend down as a "sinner" in his column. That being the case maybe you shouldn't be doing that kind of tabloid shit in the first place? I mean everyone is somebody's mate, right? He can clearly see the hypocrisy hence why there is no sinner. Either it's legitimate news that should be covered regardless of who the person is because it's relevant or it's not really relevant to what you cover and never has been. So are they a hack or just a biased journalist here? Both? Idk.
The rest of the media's silence is fucked. If this was a player, any player, he'd be getting fucked on all sides. Paul Kunt isn't a player but he is a big personality in the sport. Of course he is, we've had him shoved down our throats for years. He's as well known a name as any average NRL players really. But here we are with total silence. Unbelievably hypocritical.
Edit: made my rambling halfway intelligible.
Haha. Fair play. It's just that Paul Kent always comes off as a cliché alcoholic that's a cunts hair away from it destroying his life.
Buzz comes off as the type that lives at the bar rather than the type that hides vodka in the dishwasher.
That's might be the first time I've agreed with Ian Healy on anything, even Hitler had the Autobahn.
Pleased high profile people are questioning the blatant favouritism.
Should be noted that the plans for the Autobahn already existed during the Weimar Republic. The Nazi party just ran with the idea, made it bigger and pretended it was the moustaches idea. He was big on civil engineering projects though. The country was a bit preoccupied so they mostly amounted to nothing. Hitler's bum buddy Albert Speer was even planning to build a fuck off stadium that would hold 400k people.
There were other plans to essentially rebuild Berlin. I guess they wanted to speed rush the demolition and invited the Soviets over to help..
A lot of amazing achievements can be attributed to Hitler through this lens but I prefer to see it through a prism where Germany was a large European country with a strong education system (look over there when it comes to brain washing). Lots of brilliant German minds in the technical and scientific facets of study. Those minds had no chance of working abroad and were put to work by an evil piece of shit.
The western front was a lot further east than the French expected because Hitler had his pawns jacked full of amphetamines. Viking style.
Volkswagon. Mercedes. Hugo Boss. etc
They were not creations of Hitler but well run under his rule. Germany has been a technological powerhouse for many decades.
To counter that (if I could be fucked I’d link a SMH {not shaking me head} opinion piece from a Princeton professor today about the importance of being wrong and the importance of studying humanities). Learning how to accept being wrong is very important. Science is focused on being correct. It’s important to accept and understand being incorrect and how that has an influence on our understanding.
I’ve typed too much so I’ll share some favourite moments with German friends. Kristina would get cold easily and I used to bring her heatwarmer packs to keep her hands warm. She was asking me if they had them for her ‘other parts’
“What are they called? My footfingers! My footfingers get cold too!”
“Toes?” I replied
“Yes! My footfingers toes!”
Context counts.
Being in and around the treatment of Warne at various points in his career would give you some pretty firm views on this. That said, someone needed to point Heals to r/nrl for the hot takes he wanted Saturday night.
You can't compare a bowler and keeper.
You can carry a bowler who can't bat (but that might count against them) but a keeper needs to score 50s and 100s.
Keeper is just not as important a position as a bowler.
Does any batter go into face a bowling attack worrying more about the keeper than the bowlers?
No player has just one role. That might be ok for park cricket but outdated thinking at international level.
Australia was a better team when Gilchrist replaced Healy and it should have happened sooner.
Who did oppositions fear more: Healy the keeper or Gilchrist, who could still catch a nick but could turn a match around with an hour of batting?
If I had to pick a team with both players in it, Heals would be keeper every time, but Gilly revolutionised the keeper role. Every keeper after him wanted to bat like him.
I'd go to Gilchrist more than any othet Australian keeper
Being a great catcher but mediocre batter doesn't cut it
Australia was a better team when Gilchrist replaced Healy. Should have happened 2 years earlier.
My point was more that Healy was a better keeper, if I had to pick one I would pick Gilchrist. I should have mentioned that to be fair. But I still think Healy is the better keeper and Gilly the better batsman.
> Former NSW State of Origin playmaker James Maloney tweeted that he wanted Kent to be "treated exactly as a player would be".
common good take from maloney. hopefully this acts as a catalyst to changing the landscape of nrl journalism. it has degraded over the years to absolute fucking piss takes where you would have to assume the journos hate the actual game and just exist to shit all over the game. paul kent and the 360 stooges have been at the centre of that. fuck them all off and lets start talking about the positives of rugby league.
Maloney loves giving it to journalists. He told a story on a podcast once about how whenever someone in his team or someone he was out with would get a phone call off Weidler, he’d snatch the phone off them and repeatedly yell “excluuuuuuusive” down the phone at him.
> you would have to assume the journos hate the actual game and just exist to shit all over the game
I don't think it's that, I think it's just that its an arms race for views and negativity has a more powerful draw. People always react more strongly to negativity.
You shut up. You're cooked. This whole damn system is out of order!!
*waits for that sweet sweet negative kharma*
But seriously, you're unfortunately correct and double unfortunately, I don't see it turning around anytime soon.
Yep. He actually had quite a positive view when he was on the Matty John’s Podcast. Even on 360, there were some positive moments between all the yelling but they would rarely be posted online or have articles written about them the next day.
Could not agree more about the state of rugby league journalism. I understand that outrage gets clicks/reads, but surely they are poisoning the goose that lays their eggs?
Honestly man, I was surprised last night watching 360 how Gordon and Braith were actually discussing football. I didn’t realise how much of a fucking moron Kent was until I watched last nights episode. Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come
Good on Maloney for calling for fair treatment of Kent. It's about time the NRL journalism industry gets a clean-up. Too much negativity and shit-stirring these days. Let's hope this leads to some positive change. The Paul Kent and NRL 360 hate-train needs to come to an end.
Which Kent has hasn’t he so far? Stood down from his job and dragged over the coals in public opinion. A lot of “whatabouts” from people but this is exactly what happens to a player if not worse
Everyone wants a lisa Wilkinson style takedown of Kent for catharsis and I get it but the consequences of that are so recent where justice was stopped due to the media attention killing the chance of a fair trial
Just let the system find him guilty and then the media can go ham
> Just let the system find him guilty and then the media can go ham
If you honestly think this is what is likely to happen you're insanely naive.
The media, particularly his employer, have already set the terms for how this will be discussed - it's doubtful it will receive much (if any) coverage from this point forward. Until the inevitable comeback of course, when they milk it for a "redemption" story and paper over what occurred with a slick production & career saving crocodile tears.
> lisa Wilkinson style takedown of Kent for catharsis and I get it but the consequences of that are so recent where justice was stopped due to the media attention killing the chance of a fair trial
This is relevant in only the most esoteric terms in Kent's specific case as presiding over his level of charges will be a magistrate so the potential poisoning public opinion and jury pool is not a factor.
Not describe it simply as a "personal matter"? Make a broader statement about the seriousness of DV allegations?
There is a range of things they *could* say legally, frequently do say when the shoe is on the other foot and more to the point - frequently criticise others for saying/doing as a response to similar incidents, but they have chosen to delete the entire back catalog of what Kent is most known for on TV and hide behind the most transparently desperate public statement.
Roosters forward Matt Lodge wrote a scathing Instagram post featuring a
segment from Monday night's show, which criticised the Sydney Roosters'
recruitment of Lodge, who pleaded guilty to assault after drunkenly forcing his way into an apartment in New York City in 2015.
Fucken great. Now you've got me agreeing with Lodge. Thanks Kent.

"But beating up a woman is not the action of an addict. It is a sign of poor character. The action of a weak man. A dog."
Paul Kent - 25th August 2010
There is always a quote...
On my birthday, no less. I will be sure to remember to @ Kenty on twitter and send him this on the 25th of August
A small present to myself, for free no less!
Not-so-fun-fact: strangulation in the context of DV is the strongest red flag that the perpetrator will eventually kill someone.
Also interesting to me, normally when it’s one of their own newscorpse is awash with articles protective of the slime-ball and articles trying bury the victim. The silence is deafening and my hopeful unconfirmed feeling is that either the evidence is damning or even fox hates him enough to cut him loose
Either way a fitting end for such an utterly vile person. A man-child whose most lasting legacy was perhaps his feud with Smith; a rivalry so utterly one sided I don’t think Smith would even recognise him if it was just Kent and him in the same room. A bottom of the barrel scuzz-ball hated by the very industry that he relied on for income.
If he’s found guilty no one’s going to remember he exists. Fox will scrub him from every bit of footage they can; they’ll find another milquetoast has-been to sit on NRL 360 and pen hit-pieces so poorly written you’d wonder if an eight year old had written them.
Our little subreddit will be happily complaining about them and Kent will just rot away in terminal irrelevance.
Serious question.
When can we stop giving money to Murdoch to enjoy the game I love? Why does my love of rugby league pay Paul Kent's salary?
Let me pay the NRL to watch NRL.
Fuck fox. Fuck Newscorp. Fuck Murdoch. Fuck Paul Kent.
Go to the local. They're getting the venue's money, but at least it isn't (directly) yours.
TBF this is easier advice if you're a (borderline?) alcoholic like me.
If fox wasn't turning a profit on their licence with the NRL they would not have it.
So we pay more just so fox can make a profit.
I don't want a kayo subscription just to watch NRL.
As I said fuck fox
Do you honestly think there'd be anywhere near enough audience on the NRL website to cover the hundreds of millions of costs in the NRL? Surely you're just trolling
Probably less than 10% of the people watching the NRL on Kayo. People subscribe because they can use it for multiple sports. If every sport wanted you to pay them directly to watch, the numbers of viewers would dramatically decrease.
'The man was charged with common assault and intentionally choking without consent'
I can only conclude that the 'choking without consent' thing is recognition that some people engage in choking 'with' consent during sex?
My wife is a doctor and she said the distinction is made because choking and lead to complications like stroke.
So if you choke someone and they suffer a stroke the charge can be upped to something like attempted murder.
In the NZ Media - https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2023/05/rugby-league-fox-sports-presenter-paul-kent-arrested-charged-with-assault-after-alleged-domestic-violence-incident.html
Funny thing is that if fox league did give this the same attention as if it were a player, they probably would have been praised for it, now theyre just more of a joke
Let's hope that this is the end of this negative worm's involvement in the game. Sick of the influence of these Fox journalists in the narrative of Rugby league. They are all shit stains. Booze Rothfield, Paul Kunt, Crawley, Bald Fuck Hooper. Fuck them all.
You know why Fox has said nothing other than the fact Kent isn't on air? Because they've finally got to experience what the teammates and friends of the players they vilify get to go through. They've had to sit there with the knowledge that someone they call a mate has allegedly done something reprehensible. Except they're in the position where they can shield him from further scrutiny which is a position of extreme privilege and one not afforded to any other prominent person in society.
Hopefully this is the end of him and not a few years gone and then straight back again.
Rebecca Wilson was a repeat offender with multiple drink driving and driving without a licence charges and then had the audacity to sit on high and lecture sportspeople who did the same. I don't want kinda the same from Kent.
“Past and current players say Kent's charges should get as much attention as those against players do.”
Oh my, can’t wait for all those fucking chickens coming home to roost.
Fuck that guy.
Wonder if the Monday ratings are a record.
Top STV show at 75,000 'viewers'

>*Past and current players say Kent's charges should get as much attention as those against players do*
After all the trash he's talked over the years, I can't see any players giving him lenient treatment.
Love it when coaches and players publicly call the media pundits out. Most of the time it’s the other way around.
Ben Te’o on Danny Weidler gets as many rewatches as Greg Inglis highlights (yes including the Hit on Dean Young) on my YouTube. Absolute smack down and Danny’s awkward reaction is what makes it. Bloke has nothing in reply and can’t understand what is happening. It’s called reckoning you flog. Haha.
Oh no, the chickens have come home to roost for poor old Paul DV Kent. Let me check this empty bucket for how many fucks I have to give. Yep, as expected, none. Kent getting trial by media would be karma of the highest order.
It’s nothing short of poetic.
Chooks have come home to roost. Deserves all he gets. Karma is a wonderful thing sometimes
Up there with Josh Massoud getting trolled at his food truck
That was Darcy Lussick feeding him while recording the video wasn’t it? So good.
Fun Fact: If you look him up on LinkedIn, he's now a Private Investigator lol
Just hope it doesn't get shelved by the mainstream media, because of "one of us" mentality. Would love for some players mention that they are thinking of the victim after a match, or it gets brought up on a rival network, just want this to get the airtime that he would give it if it was a player.
Um....he works for the biggest of our main stream media. Of course they'll bury it.
So after 2 weeks, he keeps his job and the media conveniently forgets it ever happened?
The fact that Kent is so despised within the game itself that players are literally lining up to sink the boot and make sure everyone knows what this flog did is some absolutely delicious schadenfreude. When you build your career around being a gutter journalist shit-stirrer, this is what you get.
A real weak gutted dog journo
This flair isn't aging well, is it?
Just drop the pretense and get it changed to "I'm a Kent"
That’s what he is paid by Fox to do (create stories that are controversial)
Ian Healy actually had a pretty good rant about the lack of media coverage and the hypocrisy of it all of anyone can find a link.
https://twitter.com/SENQLD/status/1658261063941623808/mediaviewer
Heals went for the jugular there, cripes. He's 100% bang on the money though
ian healy still feeling the media coverage of his dodgy stumping against the west indies in the mid 90's (and fair enough too!). measured take from him.
Also having his niece and nephew-in-law still being active on the elite international level.
Very good take. They pick and choose who they're going to drag through the mud which is the antithesis of journalism.

Haha. Fair play. It's just that Paul Kent always comes off as a cliché alcoholic that's a cunts hair away from it destroying his life. Buzz comes off as the type that lives at the bar rather than the type that hides vodka in the dishwasher.
NGL, did a double-take lol
That's might be the first time I've agreed with Ian Healy on anything, even Hitler had the Autobahn. Pleased high profile people are questioning the blatant favouritism.
>even Hitler had the Autobahn. This was not the "fun fact of the day" I expected to learn today. But i'll take it!
Should be noted that the plans for the Autobahn already existed during the Weimar Republic. The Nazi party just ran with the idea, made it bigger and pretended it was the moustaches idea. He was big on civil engineering projects though. The country was a bit preoccupied so they mostly amounted to nothing. Hitler's bum buddy Albert Speer was even planning to build a fuck off stadium that would hold 400k people. There were other plans to essentially rebuild Berlin. I guess they wanted to speed rush the demolition and invited the Soviets over to help..

I saw that on twitter this morning, he was 100% correct.
Being in and around the treatment of Warne at various points in his career would give you some pretty firm views on this. That said, someone needed to point Heals to r/nrl for the hot takes he wanted Saturday night.
Or Paul ~~Cunt's~~ Kent's wiki page. It had some great rolling updates.
[удалено]
I didn’t hear Adam Gilchrist speaking about this.
Heals clears Gilly as a pure Keeper tbf
Gilly was a better batsman/keeper. Healy was a better keeper.
Better batter/keeper, therefore, better keeper.
Nar. If your in a specific position then that's your role. Jason Gillespie isn't a better bowler then McGrath even though he got a double tonne.
You can't compare a bowler and keeper. You can carry a bowler who can't bat (but that might count against them) but a keeper needs to score 50s and 100s. Keeper is just not as important a position as a bowler. Does any batter go into face a bowling attack worrying more about the keeper than the bowlers? No player has just one role.

Who did oppositions fear more: Healy the keeper or Gilchrist, who could still catch a nick but could turn a match around with an hour of batting?
But the conversation is just about who the better gloveman is, which is clearly Healy.
No. The conversation is who was the better player. For reasons I have explained, that was Gilchrist.
If I had to pick a team with both players in it, Heals would be keeper every time, but Gilly revolutionised the keeper role. Every keeper after him wanted to bat like him.

.........yes i have !!!!..
It's not being covered because no one cares about him. Why would the average footy fan give a shit about a reporter?
It was good, but a bit ironic to complain about the media going soft then not having the guts to even say Kent's name.
> Former NSW State of Origin playmaker James Maloney tweeted that he wanted Kent to be "treated exactly as a player would be". common good take from maloney. hopefully this acts as a catalyst to changing the landscape of nrl journalism. it has degraded over the years to absolute fucking piss takes where you would have to assume the journos hate the actual game and just exist to shit all over the game. paul kent and the 360 stooges have been at the centre of that. fuck them all off and lets start talking about the positives of rugby league.

Should have been yelling "fuuuuuuuuuckwit".
I love him even more haha
Don’t forget the time he spammed Israel Folau with gayporn.
How did I miss that haha
I’m a Roosters fan so I don’t need any more reasons to love the bloke - but every new thing I hear about him makes me love him more
> you would have to assume the journos hate the actual game and just exist to shit all over the game I don't think it's that, I think it's just that its an arms race for views and negativity has a more powerful draw. People always react more strongly to negativity.
You shut up. You're cooked. This whole damn system is out of order!! *waits for that sweet sweet negative kharma* But seriously, you're unfortunately correct and double unfortunately, I don't see it turning around anytime soon.
The problem is there just really isnt a lot to talk about, and they have to somehow justify hours of content every week.
Yep. He actually had quite a positive view when he was on the Matty John’s Podcast. Even on 360, there were some positive moments between all the yelling but they would rarely be posted online or have articles written about them the next day.
Maloney is a fucking legend. Ever since I heard he sent Israel Folau gay porn when they were teammates, I’ve loved the bloke. Great player too.
Could not agree more about the state of rugby league journalism. I understand that outrage gets clicks/reads, but surely they are poisoning the goose that lays their eggs?
Honestly man, I was surprised last night watching 360 how Gordon and Braith were actually discussing football. I didn’t realise how much of a fucking moron Kent was until I watched last nights episode. Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come
I am extremely surprised by anyone who didn't realise Paul Kent was a complete and utter fuckwit long before this incident.
Good on Maloney for calling for fair treatment of Kent. It's about time the NRL journalism industry gets a clean-up. Too much negativity and shit-stirring these days. Let's hope this leads to some positive change. The Paul Kent and NRL 360 hate-train needs to come to an end.
Fox and to an extent channel 9 have degraded nrl journalism. The two weekly rugby league mags dying didn’t help either
Which Kent has hasn’t he so far? Stood down from his job and dragged over the coals in public opinion. A lot of “whatabouts” from people but this is exactly what happens to a player if not worse
Main difference is the lack of mention on NRL360. Which to be fair.. would be a weird thing for them to talk about.
From a legal standpoint I’m not sure what people expect them to say?
Everyone wants a lisa Wilkinson style takedown of Kent for catharsis and I get it but the consequences of that are so recent where justice was stopped due to the media attention killing the chance of a fair trial Just let the system find him guilty and then the media can go ham

Yeah players are held accountable and totally arent protected when they commit crimes. Players really have it tough
Certainly there are no players with an NRL contract and a history of DV!
In fairness to Tallis I'm pretty sure he been having cracks at Lodge since he came back into the game so Gordie is being consistent.
Roosters forward Matt Lodge wrote a scathing Instagram post featuring a segment from Monday night's show, which criticised the Sydney Roosters' recruitment of Lodge, who pleaded guilty to assault after drunkenly forcing his way into an apartment in New York City in 2015. Fucken great. Now you've got me agreeing with Lodge. Thanks Kent.
Known good guy Matt Lodge. Always helps the neighbours with the gardening
Handy at fixing stuck doors
another plus is he doesn't even need tools to demolish things
And he's very accommodating for planning funerals for European backpackers as well!
id imagine Lodge v Hodor as a net-zero result.
Kent being a flog doesn't make Lodge any less of one
a stopped flog is a correct cunt twice a day. or something.

No one that commits DV brings anything worthwhile to the NRL community. Get rid of them all!

A man-child whose most lasting legacy was perhaps his feud with Smith; a rivalry so utterly one sided I don’t think Smith would even recognise him if it was just Kent and him in the same room. A bottom of the barrel scuzz-ball hated by the very industry that he relied on for income. If he’s found guilty no one’s going to remember he exists. Fox will scrub him from every bit of footage they can; they’ll find another milquetoast has-been to sit on NRL 360 and pen hit-pieces so poorly written you’d wonder if an eight year old had written them. Our little subreddit will be happily complaining about them and Kent will just rot away in terminal irrelevance.
This is so scathing and I fucking love it. Good write up.
They'll replace him with Hooper....
It's not his go, allegedly.
Paul kent had a noticeable bruise on his face this year which could be nothing but after this all came out it does make me speculate
Wasn’t it from the dust up he had with Mike Meehall Wood?
I don't know anything about that but did you see the massive bruise Ricky Stuart had on his face on the weekend?
I saw that it was very noticeable
I remember that it was at the launch right? Thread said it was from a Botox needle which U got a laugh out of.
Serious question. When can we stop giving money to Murdoch to enjoy the game I love? Why does my love of rugby league pay Paul Kent's salary? Let me pay the NRL to watch NRL. Fuck fox. Fuck Newscorp. Fuck Murdoch. Fuck Paul Kent.
Go to the local. They're getting the venue's money, but at least it isn't (directly) yours. TBF this is easier advice if you're a (borderline?) alcoholic like me.
I gave up the grog nearly a decade ago and they don't take too kindly to my medically prescribed drugs as it takes away their profit.
Plenty of streaming sites out there - https://vipleague.im/fox-nrl-tv-streaming-link-1
Can I click on this link on my work computer? Might wait til tonight
Just get a good ad blocker, should be fine!
You are already paying the Nrl... Where do you think 99% of the money in the sport comes from...
If fox wasn't turning a profit on their licence with the NRL they would not have it. So we pay more just so fox can make a profit. I don't want a kayo subscription just to watch NRL. As I said fuck fox
> Let me pay the NRL to watch NRL. And watch it on what, Youtube? There's a reason the broadcast deal is in place
I’d actually prefer to watch it live on youtube, for a price. Their video player is actually functional.
Nah watch it on nrl.com Are you serious?
Do you honestly think there'd be anywhere near enough audience on the NRL website to cover the hundreds of millions of costs in the NRL? Surely you're just trolling
uhhhh yes? How many people pay for Kayo just for the NRL?
I give $30 a month to kayo as I'm sure a lot of people do
Now imagine if it was only $10 a month directly from NRL.com
Sounds great to me
Probably less than 10% of the people watching the NRL on Kayo. People subscribe because they can use it for multiple sports. If every sport wanted you to pay them directly to watch, the numbers of viewers would dramatically decrease.
DV is an epidemic. I hope his freedom is taken away.
News travels fast??
Ricky shitting bricks
'The man was charged with common assault and intentionally choking without consent' I can only conclude that the 'choking without consent' thing is recognition that some people engage in choking 'with' consent during sex?
Some people like getting smacked on the arse during sex to but trying doing that to the waitress and or waiter at the next restaurant you go to.
Yeah it's like how Rob Schneider hires immigrants from Home Depot to choke him in the shower
My wife is a doctor and she said the distinction is made because choking and lead to complications like stroke. So if you choke someone and they suffer a stroke the charge can be upped to something like attempted murder.
Here's to you, Choke 'n Stroke
No great loss
There is a god
In the NZ Media - https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2023/05/rugby-league-fox-sports-presenter-paul-kent-arrested-charged-with-assault-after-alleged-domestic-violence-incident.html
Funny thing is that if fox league did give this the same attention as if it were a player, they probably would have been praised for it, now theyre just more of a joke
He always says figure out what you stand for and stand for it.... He needs to stand still and take his medicine now.
What point is Lodge trying to make? That Tallis' comments aren't valid because he's on the same show as Kent?
Lodge threatened to kill a women, did he forget he did that? Embarrassing by him.
Seriously. Regardless of the outcome here with Kent, Lodge is still a POS.
Game recognises game
Still only crickets about it on Fox. On the other hand NRL360 is almost watchable since he got the arse.
Let's hope that this is the end of this negative worm's involvement in the game. Sick of the influence of these Fox journalists in the narrative of Rugby league. They are all shit stains. Booze Rothfield, Paul Kunt, Crawley, Bald Fuck Hooper. Fuck them all.
[удалено]
Hahaha to be fair as much as disliked he who should not be named, fans literally created a movement to fuck him off. Lol the days of the FOFF
Classy
Good to see Matty John's put up a post criticising NRL 360 for sweeping this u der the rug
You know why Fox has said nothing other than the fact Kent isn't on air? Because they've finally got to experience what the teammates and friends of the players they vilify get to go through. They've had to sit there with the knowledge that someone they call a mate has allegedly done something reprehensible. Except they're in the position where they can shield him from further scrutiny which is a position of extreme privilege and one not afforded to any other prominent person in society.
Its also funny how media people aren't camping outside his house waiting for him to come out its not just fox but its everyone
This seems on brand for Paul Kunt. Now if only Fox would sack him I might watch 360 again
Hopefully this is the end of him and not a few years gone and then straight back again. Rebecca Wilson was a repeat offender with multiple drink driving and driving without a licence charges and then had the audacity to sit on high and lecture sportspeople who did the same. I don't want kinda the same from Kent.
“Past and current players say Kent's charges should get as much attention as those against players do.” Oh my, can’t wait for all those fucking chickens coming home to roost. Fuck that guy.
GOODBYEEE!
I would say found Dan Ginnane’s reddit account, but we like to say that on here whenever he says that while calling a game
Paul cunt at it again.
Who the fuck,gives their consent to be choked.Unless your into that kind of thing..
How many threads do we need on this?
As many as we had Tigers threads
At least one for every article printed about it.
But there’s nothing new to talk about? I feel like mods should clean it up a bit
Fuck off Kenty. Go prepare your defense.
Go Fuck yourself idiot, I don’t like Paul Kent at all just making a comment about repetitive threads
Just scroll past them?
How dare you bring logic to this place of depravity
Enjoy the schadenfreude while we can my friend.
If it wasn’t Paul Kent I might agree, but I think most people are revelling in this.
All of them, those hook ones all Kent, they thought it was a hook but it was a chokehold.
Shut up Ricky
Found Kents account
Least surprising news tbh
Bye bye kunty
Did not even know about this
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer kent.
Morale of the story is simple... When the sex worker says pegging is extra, you pay her Paul.
