Apparently the 35yo handed himself into police station after the incident. Believe Kent has also been charged since

Since I started watching MMA I'd see clips of silly Aikido demonstrations with them flipping everywhere has a guy moves their hands.

Some weird ones with a young Steven Seagal that back in the day people would be amazed. Then ones with an old Steven Seagal where it's comical as these guys are flipping for this overweight actor.

Now what we saw with this Kent video was Kent coming charging at this guy who used Kents own momentum to sling him into a tree. It might be one of the documented times something similar to Aikido has worked in real life.

Or this guy may have a talent for some forgotten marshal art he didn't even know he had.

Well I'd argue he's better at aikido than Kent is at boxing.

Fox Sports NRL host and Daily Telegraph journalist Paul Kent has asked a court to delay his case over a wild street brawl that landed him upside down against a tree, so he can seek treatment for mental health and drinking problems.

Kent, 54, and a 35-year-old man were both charged with affray after a drinking session in Rozelle, in Sydney’s inner west, ended with a punch-on outside a pub.

On Tuesday the host of NRL 360 fronted Downing Centre Local Court in dark sunglasses and a blue suit alongside his lawyer, George Elias.

Elias told the court he would seek an application for the case to be adjourned under a mental health and cognitive impairment law.

Kent had sought urgent counselling after the brawl, Elias told the court, and he needed time to see doctors and assemble a mental health treatment plan.

“He’s got an urgent appointment to see [one doctor] on the 22nd of May and [is seeking] other treatment … regarding alcohol,” Elias said.

The magistrate gave Kent until July to return with his treatment plan.

Kent was asked if he wanted to plead guilty on Tuesday to secure the largest possible discount on sentence, if he is later convicted.

He declined, but Elias told the court it would likely finish up as a “short matter”.

It is alleged the television host had been at his regular table at his regular watering hole, The Sackville Hotel, for hours with friends before walking toward his home in Lilyfield just after 11pm on April 27.

The route took Kent past the Three Weeds hotel and attached restaurant, Totti’s, where a 35-year-old man allegedly hurled an insult at Kent.

Kent, a divisive figure among NRL fans because of his comments on Fox’s rugby league TV show, allegedly responded with his own colourful language – branding the man a “doghead”.

Footage from the evening appears to show Kent attempting to remove his watch, pushing past people trying to restrain him, and then trading punches with the younger man.

The brawl shifts into the street before Kent is flung, headlong, into a tree on the roadside.

The 35-year-old man was allegedly tackled by a third man and left with a head injury, his lawyer Chris Murphy told this masthead.

“A group walked past [the venue] and Paul Kent accused him of saying something. It just didn’t happen,” Murphy said.

“My client didn’t know who Kent was until someone said, ‘C’mon Paul, back off Kenty’ and tried to restrain Kent. But he broke away from them and came at my client.”

Kent was hospitalised with broken ribs and doctors feared he had a collapsed lung.

He was stood down by his employer, News Corp, from both hosting duties with NRL 360 and his Daily Telegraph column while an investigation is underway

That look he gave the journalist after getting asked about having an alcohol problem. It comes off like they are doing and telling the court what he needs to get the best result. Not that he believes it.

Or it could be he thinks journalists are a annoying.:unsure:

That snippet from an old article really shows you should think what you write.

I was watching a video on YouTube a few weeks ago. The guy was explaining a confrontation he had.

He got asked "So your a tough guy"
He responded "No I am crazy, one of us is going to end up in a jail cell and the other in a hospital. We just need to figure out who is going where".

Well the next day after this Kent incident he ended up in hospital and the other guy reported to the police station.

Former Canterbury and Wests Tigers playmaker Brandon Wakeham has been arrested after he was picked up by police at training on Wednesday.

Wakeham, currently contracted to Manly’s feeder club Blacktown, has not been formally charged. Sources with knowledge of the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity given charges haven’t been laid, said Wakeham is suspected of supplying MDMA and possessing cocaine.

After a 15-game NRL stint with the Tigers last year, Wakeham switched to Blacktown in the hope of becoming a back-up for established Manly halves Daly Cherry-Evans and Luke Brooks.

The 25-year-old has made 10 appearances for Blacktown, where he was named to play alongside fellow half Jake Arthur for Sunday’s NSW Cup clash against Canterbury at North Sydney Oval.

Manly and NSW Police have been contacted for comment.

The drama has come at an inopportune time for rugby league officials, who are spruiking the opening women’s State of Origin match on Thursday night and the commencement of the NRL’s Magic Round in Brisbane on Friday night.

Wakeham has made 40 NRL appearances since making his debut for the Bulldogs in 2019.

The incident is the latest drama to rock the NRL after Cronulla playmaker Braydon Trindall was charged with failing an alcohol and illicit drugs road-side test. Trindall was scheduled to appear in Sutherland Local Court on Friday, but his legal team have informed the Sharks they will seek an adjournment because they are still awaiting the results of a second drug sample.

The development could result in Trindall, named on an extended bench, being available for Saturday’s clash with Cronulla
