The players union should pay...Comment

Whilst it does not excuse Pearce for the damage his actions have meant to the club, a legal action will send a warning to future people considering making videos public....
And as Moley 101 states, the Players Union should pay". This is a larger issue than the Roosters....Perhaps the NRL should chip inWritten and published on behalf of the Liberal Party, Queensland

A line needs to be drawn in the sand so I welcome the idea.
Doesn't excuse Pearce's stupidity but if a cause of action is pursued and successful then what goes on (if it is not unlawful but is embarrassing behaviour) in private situations, is a bit less likely to leak to the news media and or social media and that can only be a good thing. I am sure Todd Carney would agree.Last edited by Parkway_Drive; 02-26-2016, 03:05 PM.Originally posted by boogie

Win or lose I hope they go all out if only for the Karma Train to run over this low life grub and expose him through the same media circus he wanted Pearce to go through to try and end his career.Comment

My 50 cents:
1) There's no tort of 'breach of privacy' in Australia. Bedwetter's allowed to make videos of whatever he wants and share them around, so long as it's not pron and the like. The cops weren't of the opinion that this was bestiality.
2) 'Breach of confidence'... the ALRC has summed it up better than I can (http://www.alrc.gov.au/publications/...ons-confidence). Essentialy he'd be claiming there's an equitable obligation.
For #2 I think a smart lawyer could have a good crack at it. My lay opinion on the matter is that you'd have to sue News Ltd or Channel 9 for a breach of confidence... which the NRL would looooove us for doing :P
I'm not smart enough to think of an obligation that might get over the line. Call me narrow, but the way I see it, being a celebrity doesn't protect you in any special ways. But this is equity, so what do I know? I'd love to see a silky smooth legal argument on the matter would give me the jisms.Comment

The sooner this goes away the better imo.
I can't wait to see the boys charge through the tunnel and give it to the Vermin.
