Danny Williams... GOOOOOONNNNNNNNNE

[Big Ted]

15 weeks at the mimimum I reckon.

Deadset cheap shot....

 

[dr nick]

what an absolute thug. Claims he doesnt even remember the incident either

 

[grimlock]

Ah, the old Alan Bond defence. Truly a nasty hit, and deserves whatever sentence is handed down onto him.

 

[Jeffers]

An absolutely cowardly act! Definately will be gone for months.

I can understand why O'Neill cant remember it

 

[koreanwarrior]

Just caught it on the nrl website video.

Pretty nasty. As Wayne Pierce said at the time he hasn't seen anything like it for 10-15 years.

Storm have undone all that good work of the last few weeks now through that brain explosion.

 

[LebaneseForces]

He should get 20weeks min!

 

[jerry springer]

DOG ACT!

there goes his career

Danny Williams just another meat head, great ad for people to watch Aussie Rules

 

[Ted Pellitis]

i agree, particularly damaging being a storm player.

Please do not blame the Storm as Danny did it by him self and not the team.

There should be no excuess what Danny did.

Who was the last sport to have an all in brawl where two players tried to strangle an opposition player? .

Good thing you've got the media on the side. Considering the coverage Greg Bird Got, The papers would be on overtime covering every Knee and Elbow to the head in your game...

Let's not turn this into a slagging match between two codes, we have to remember that no one sport has a monopoly on on or off-field thuggery just as no one government, country, race, religion, etc has a monopoly on mankind's flaws.

The Williams incident was deplorable, and hopefully he will get an appropriate punishment.

I can give you perfect examples of such things happening in other sports- it's happened in ice hockey (witness what Todd Bertuzzi did earlier this year), it's happened in soccer (Gilles de Bilde for Anderlecht vs Aalst), do I have to go on?

What matters, however, is that when these incidents happen IN ANY SPORT the authorities concerned hand out a sufficient punishment to send out the right message.

Don't know if you guys caught the AB test v the wallabies in the weekend but Brendon Cannon caught Mealamu with a cheap shot that caught him flush. Luckily Mealamu was'nt knocked down or anything and stuffed a few punches back in Cannon's face.

Both players left the field sinbinned and to get their faces stitched.

Similar kind of thing though but luckily Mealamu didn't get knocked out.

Regarding the comment I made about the Storm undoing thier good work I was thinking more of the good PR they were getting and good results. Now they blew a try and possibly the game with that punch and the media will get good mileage from the incident.

But of course it was one guy and not the whole team.

 

[Fire Storm]

The West Tigers were using high shots and forearms the whole game. As most NRL clubs do every week against the Storm. Especially targeting Slater with pure cheap shots.


Finally someone had the guts to stand up to it. Well done Danny. He deserved it.



Pity he wasnt playing AFL. He would've got 3 weeks with fans/coaches/media saying it was too harsh.

That's bull and everyone knows it. He can count himself lucky if he gets less than a lifetime ban.

 

[Catman]

Danny will deserve everything he gets as it was totally unecessary and one of the most ugliest sights I've seen but if Badger had seen O'Neill's high shot the whole thing would never have happened. But he missed a hell of a lot on Saturday so it's no surprise he missed something so obvious.

 

[Aucklander]

18 weeks is being talked about. Sounds about right.

 

[Fire Storm]

What a disgrace. The ref should get the same. He was as much to blame as Danny was.


Storm get robbed again. Stinking Sydney-centric NRL/Referee's/ Media/Fans.



I hate em.

ammm yeah, its the ref's fault. Probably Lee Harvey Oswald had something to do with it as well.

That will end his NRL career i'd say, considering he has not re-signed with the storm and is pushing 30 now. Don't know if other clubs will be scrambling to pick the guy up, so he'll probably go to England.

 

[skipper kelly]

Ah the memories come flooding back of the great Les Boyd.

 

[Anvil16]

Typical from a Storm player really.

It's OK - he's got a fight against Mike Tyson coming up.

Only kidding.
