True. But this is Paul Kent.
Part of the trio that tried to bury the Sharks all those years ago.

Remember ASADA?

He deserves nothing but KARMA (plus its funny too).

He deserves it. No doubt about that.
But I don't understand the society we're living in nowadays (and it ain't much better here in Japan, maybe a bit more subdued).

A society where someone (often “entitled” people - but granted not all) can make 6-7 figure incomes by ”doing nothing” on social media.

Don’t shoot the messenger, mate.

If Kent doesn’t carry on like flog, there’s nothing to video or post in the first place.
I get it. Absolutely it's 100% his own doing, and I don't feel sorry for him as he's the first person the judge others.

My comments were around the people whose first reaction is to film these things

In the modern era of one punch laws etc, how would these camera hero's feel if it turned really horrible. You can't tell me they aren't getting excited filming this knowing they will get their 5 minutes of fame.

Plenty of people trying to stop him, why is it this man’s responsibility to also?

An aggrieved party will be pretty glad there is video should it become a legal issue.

If he one punch kills someone or stabs someone maybe the filmer will wonder if they should have done more

while their family rejoices it wasn’t them left bleeding out on the road.

Paul Kent was the one that said the quote something along the lines of “Sharks were over the salary cap every year except grand final day” so now we have clowns everywhere constantly saying “They cheated the salary cap in 2016 but were under on grand final day, they should be stripped of 2016”

when the quote from Todd really said was
“The Sharks were under the salary cap in 2016 from Round 1 through to the Grand Final,”
“That includes any of the promises that we’ve found.
“There’s no question on their 2016 premiership.”

That and the Ass Harder stuff are two of the main reasons I still hold a deep dislike for this **** and I hope this stuff is the end of his career and we never have to see his smug dial in the public eye ever again.

My interpretation of a disrupter:

A disruptor is classified as interference to the ball catcher by a player (or players) who, at the time of interference were not in a position to have a genuine attempt of either catching or batting back the ball.

To avoid doubt, if an attacking player either catches or bats back the ball prior to the defender, a disruptor penalty will not be considered.

My interpretation of a disrupter:

A disruptor (on an even dated day) is classified as interference to the ball catcher by a player (or players) who, at the time of interference were not in a position to have a genuine attempt of either catching or batting back the ball (but an odd dated day, it in reverse)

To avoid doubt, if an attacking player either catches or bats back the ball prior to the defender, a disruptor penalty will not be considered.
I think you are on to something but have made a minor adjustment…
