Obviously that was cut, but probably cut in Fifita's way.
I'm close to praising Danny Weidler.
I need to go spew and have a couple showers with Solvol.

Make sure you scrub all over - twice to be safe or you could catch red hair journo syndrome

Found a pube that looked redish in the light. Shaved and burned the trimmings to be safe.

lol funny enough I felt I needed to praise him a little, had he even reported on it so far?
I felt a little dirty as well.

Weidler has tried to set himself up as "the players mate" in an attempt to wrangle exclusive access on these types of stories. It's not a bad strategy but obviously will only work if he continues to be supportive of the player.
The downside of this is that by forgoing impartiality, his only chance of actually being accurate is if the player is telling the truth. Lets hope this is the case in this instance.
Further to this matter, has anyone noticed that the media, especially the News Ltd agencies, have been very quiet on the possibility that the Fifita's have been misrepresented in this matter? They went off half-cocked in a hysterical front page frenzy but have suddenly become very quiet on the matter.
Would love to see some serious grovelling from some of these frauds if the the whole thing turns out to be a storm in a teacup, possibly even some legal action?

Merkins like buzz should be taught a lesson but he just plays the crap line of on the information I had and also plays the line I am a journalist first and he believes this, but there is also consequences.
He is lucky he doesn't have me as a neighbour but I will say the next game I see him or at the Airport I will be having a word (I will make the effort to make sure it not in front of his kids), people like him are everything wrong with the game.
I have no respect for him as a human being.

I don't think it really matters whether the player is telling the truth or not in terms of journalistic credibility. He's merely giving them a soap box to stand on. What they say is up to them. The actual scrutiny of what is said probably comes later by others writing opinion pieces.

Fifita was preparing to play a game of rugby league on Sunday. He was focused on the job at hand rather than facing an unjustified* media ****storm.

Yep this is no surprise really. Conjecture over the videos existence / proof fueled the media storm on the weekend so they will make a big deal out of it and paint the ref as a liar.
Typical lawyer move, discredit the opposition.
Good on them. The whole "we have video of it " fuelled the medias appetite for this. Discredit the other mob goes a long way to assisting your cause!

if the ref failed to produce it by 11:59pm Sunday, I would be advising Fifita2 to attend training on monday

Has the nrl itself commented on this because it just seems to have stagnated and no one knows when they'll be playing again.

as would i, at the moment it seems both parties have statements that back each others cases with no real hard evidence. Its all our word against theirs. But if rumours are true that the fifitas have more statements backing their point of view which also includes from the opposition team then **** the nrl. Bring them back
Pretty much.
We we being way too careful for a situation that doesn't need to be treated as such.
This isn't a toddy 2.0 situation
