Roosters’ Sandon Smith charged with negligent driving causing grievous bodily harm

[Bondicigar]

Jack Bird has had arthritis in his knees since he was a teenager. He may be tough but his legs are made of balsa wood and he makes Todd Byrne look like Matt Shervington

Fair call,
Hutch has early onset of rigor mortis and we gave him a contract.

Haha also a fair call. I’ve heard rumours we are getting the Hutchinator back so it’s shaping as an “interesting” 2025.

The thought of watching Hutch and Chad as a halves pairing for 2025 is terrifying

[weplayforprems]

The Broncos’ Ezra Mam situation is pretty serious too.

He is a live chance of getting sacked and possibly deregistered.

Given Reyno is 400yo too I expect them to make a huge play for Sam Walker.

If true, the Mercurial one, the Hutchinator, will do a 2021 and be an important cog in another final appearance for the tri-colours—more two for Drew with his deceptive pace as well.

What is actually going on with with Walker ?
Is the speculation that he had agreed to extension with the Roosters, just that...speculation ?

Whilst it hasn't been announced, I think it's as good as done. However it's only for 2 extra years and he is 21-22 so no doubt they will sniff around for him in 2027. Such is the circus that is NRL contracts.

To be fair any manager that has a young half signed for 2027 is being negligent. With a new team coming in and a heap of experienced halves about to retire, a few of them like Walker, Katoa, Galvin, Strange etc could get a massive deal

Is it too early to know if Sandon can play next year ?
If he can't then FMS we got Chad.
And if the powers think he can't play them I'm betting they go hard for Hunt.... we'll see after Nov 1.

Saints said he’s free to go. Nov 1 is irrelevant.

I presume that Buzz' interns have done their daily unsolicited barrage of irritating calls (including to Easts, Drongos, Walker's agent...etc) and somebody's said 'no comment'. Suddenly there's 'news'.

It was an accidentl due to a truck cauing Smith not to see oncoming traffic, not showing proper care is negligent, but its a fine nothing more.
Anyone thinking jail time or suspension should have a good hard look at yourself and stay there looking in the mirroe, because you should not be out in public

Ah, finally some common sense.

[bondi.boy]

Did you leave your retirement home troll?

Retirement villages are not nursing homes.
I still drive a car...with all the horrors that can entail.
Appearing in court charged with negligent driving causing grievous bodily injury but one such horror.
If I lived in the Eastern suburbs I probably wouldn't drive.
Get cab, bus, train instead.

It clearly states that prison time is a possible sentence for this conviction.
Whilever that is possible there's no way I'd be pleading guilty.
If a plea deal were wanted by the prosecution, then prison time would have to be removed as a possible sentence, written down in the legal document.

He will get a fine a slap on the wrist and told he can go Ezra man on the other hand might have a problem
