Braith Anasta is very against the Warriors as well. Any thing Warriors related and he hates it. Tries to shut things down over the Wahs very quickly.

I think you will find the whole panel they use are in that position. Just like no one says anything bad about Ricky as they are "mates". Very Aussie

Yeah we even had this week Hooper trying to cover that Stuart gets an easy ride when they were talking about his contract extension. When he called that player a "weak gutted dog" it was well if you only knew. That always seem to be the case with Stuart. There is more to it.

Gould is a bad one for pushing the boundaries with being in the media and in a prominent club role.

Anasta probably shouldn't have been involved with the interview with the Souths CEO considering he manages one of their players. It was funny that he thought he wasn't a journalist/media while hosting an NRL news show.

Mitchell wanting to discuss the criticism. To be honest that is hilarious as well. The criticism of Souths hasn't been that bad. He's just not used to it as it is usually aimed at the Tigers or other clubs.

The way that "Weak gutted dog" incident was reported, the player had had a go at Ricky's daughter (who's autistic) a few years back. I guess parents don't forget....

As for Mitchell, the critism doesn't seem to be so much "Mitchell's a bum player" than "Mitchell would be better at centre." Souths have gotten off fairly lightly, considering how badly they've handled things this year.

NRL 2024: Payne Haas’ father Gregor arrested in the Philippines over alleged drug charges in Indonesia​

The father of Broncos star Payne Haas could face the death penalty after being arrested in the Philippines.
Gregor Haas was arrested in Cebu City on Wednesday and faces extradition to Indonesia, where he is accused of running a sufficient quantity of drugs to qualify for the death penalty in that country.
This masthead revealed in March that Broncos prop Haas had taken custody of his two younger brothers after Gregor, a father of 10, had moved overseas to focus on business interests.
Indonesian authorities were allegedly on a manhunt for the 46-year-old since last December after police discovered five kilograms of crystal methamphetamine at an undisclosed location.

“We suspect him to have networks all over Asia, and we also suspect he has networks in Australia,” National Narcotics Agency [BNN] spokesman Sulistyo Pudjo Hartono told the Sydney Morning Herald.
“We have good co-operation with Australian police, so we will work with them too.”
Indonesia has a strong stance on illicit drugs and the death penalty remains in place for those convicted of possessing the large quantity of drugs allegedly held by Haas Sr.
There is no suggestion Broncos and NSW Origin forward Haas has any knowledge or involvement in the matter.
The last Australians to be executed in Indonesia were Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran in 2015.
Authorities in the Philippines will attempt to extradite Gregor from the city of Manila, where he is being held after his arrest in Cebu City.
Sulistyo told the SMH his agency expected “no problems” with having Haas extradited to Indonesia.

This masthead met with Gregor Haas last April in Brisbane. The 46-year-old spoke of his struggle to cope with his wife Joan, Haas’ mother, being at the centre of a high-speed car crash which killed three people on the Gold Coast.
Haas Sr visited Taufua in jail on a weekly basis, but began heading overseas last year.
“To be honest, seeing my wife in jail,” Gregor told this masthead last April.
“What can I say, mate … it’s just f***ed.”
“I’m going through all sorts of emotions.
“You go through a period of grieving, but then you move on.
“I don’t mean move on as in not being with Joan anymore, but life has to move on. The kids have to go to school. I have to work. Otherwise everything falls apart.
“The first four weeks when Joan was taken into custody were so hard.
“As a family, we have gone into our little shell in life. We have nothing to do with anyone really and it’s best that way. We have our little family unit and it’s my job to ensure the kids are safe and happy.
“I’m trying to stay as busy as I can. I do what I can to keep my mind off things.”
On the eve of Brisbane’s round 1 clash in Las Vegas this year, Broncos prop Haas spoke of becoming the father figure in his growing family unit.
Not only is he a doting dad to his “miracle” daughter Lalita, who turns three in May, but Haas has stepped up and taken responsibility for his brothers Hans, 14, and Geejay, 12, after Gregor headed abroad.

Haas’ mother Uiatu "Joan" Taufua is currently in jail over a high-speed car crash which killed three people on the Gold Coast.
“It means the world to me to be a father,” Haas said.
“I have my daughter in my life and I now have my two little brothers living with me.
“I have taken them under our household to live with me.
“I want to look over what they are doing in life and put them on the right path.
“I know my family has had some troubles lately in the last few years. I feel like it was best for them to come and live under my roof and let me guide them on the right path.
“Dad is overseas at the moment, so I wanted to be there for them.
“I’ve already got grey hairs growing looking after all these kids,” Haas adds with a laugh.
“It’s good. They are good boys and I love having my brothers around, they keep me on their toes.

​

“I have my partner there and she is the backbone of it all.
“I do love my family a lot so as long as they are good, I’m happy.”
It is understood the Australian Federal Police were not involved in the arrest.

Omfg! Poor bloke
Wish nothing but the best to the man one of best players to play

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Totally agree with this view. IT's a conflict of interest. As a presenterAnasta should not have any close links to any NRL club. He's extra sensitive when anything comes up about the Roosters & shoots the topic down vey quickly.. Told the viewers He "talks to Uncle Nick "most days"

He also dismissed the Bulldogs v Topine discussion as not being true pretty quickly as the head trainer at the bulldogs is a very close friend of his….

There won’t be too much sympathy for the family in Australia, and nor should there be. The Mum killed 3 innocent people whilst evading police at speed in her car.

I don't think his post was showing any sympathy to anyone other than Payne Haas and rightfully so. Looked up his age and he's only 24, looking after 2 of his younger brothers and his own daughter.
Can only imagine what he's seen/experienced growing up if this is what has come out in the media about both his parents.

Taylan May charged with DV offices, stood down by Penrith from Warriors match | Daily Telegraph​

The future of Penrith Panthers star Taylan May is under a cloud after he was charged with assaulting his wife.
May has been stood down from playing this weekend after he was accused of punching Jessika May in the face and leg during an argument at a home in Werrington in Sydney’s west on April 8, police said.

Questions will now be raised within the NRL over the status of May’s playing future given the serious nature of the charges.

The 22-year-old, who had been listed to play against the Warriors on Sunday during the NRL flagship Magic Round, was arrested at 5am on Saturday at a Penrith address and was charged with domestic violence-related assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two counts of stalking or intimidating with intent to cause fear or physical harm.

Police have also taken out an interim Apprehended Violence Order application to protect Jessika.

May was absent from the Panthers game against the Tigers in the week following the alleged incident after he was stood down for “personal reasons”.


The couple were only married last year in a glitzy ceremony, which the club posted on its official Instagram account.

May was named in Penrith’s team to play the Warriors in Queensland on Sunday.

Criminal lawyer Paul McGirr said the charges do not trigger the NRL’s automatic stand down provisions because they carry a maximum penalty of less than 11 year.

‘But the NRL has obviously decided to use their discretion on the issue given the circumstances and stand him down anyway,” Mr McGirr said.

Last month he withdrew from a match against the Tigers because of personal reasons.

He only re-signed with the Panthers until the end of 2026 in March

The NRL and Panthers have been contacted for comment.

May was granted conditional bail by police to appear before Penrith Local Court on May 28.

Between injuries and suspensions, will there be 34 players allowed (whether on medical or legal grounds) to play in the Grand Final??
Should the Warriors petition the NRL to award Good Behaviour Points to clubs who go a certain period without any of their players being arseholes??

Manly player Nathan Brown sued over “unpaid debts” to former player agent​

Sarah KeoghanCourts and Crime Reporter
The Manly star is facing a whopping $200,000 payment over “unpaid fees” to his former player agent.
Nathan Brown is set to face court over claims he has “unpaid debts” to his former agent Isaac Moses, who plans to sue the Manly player for more than $200,000.

The matter was heard in the NSW Supreme Court this week with Moses – who is the director of player management company Cove Agency – claiming Brown failed to pay him for securing his contract with Parramatta for 2019 and 2020.

Brown signed Moses as a player agent in March 2018, but dropped him in October 2020.

Moses is seeking $75,000 for his services and his legal costs, estimated at just over $150,000.

In documents exclusively obtained by news.com.au, Moses’s lawyers voiced their concerns to the court that Brown may be unable to pay costs if he loses the legal battle, as he is currently on a “train and trial contract” with Manly for the 2024 season only.

“Mr Brown is unlikely to earn in excess of $80,000 in 2024 and is more likely to earn, unless upgraded after round 11 of the 2024 NRL season, a gross sum of $62,400,” Moses’ lawyer Anthony Romeo stated in the documents.

Brown is hoping to continue in the NRL beyond this year. Picture: NRL Imagery
Mr Romeo states Moses sent Brown a letter in June 2021 “demanding” the debt due be paid within seven days.

“The defendant has paid $0 to date,” he said.

“The plaintiff is and was at all material times responsible and successful for procuring a playing contract on behalf of the defendant for the 2019 and 2020 playing seasons,” Mr Romeo states in the documents.

“By not paying the agency fee the defendant has been unjustly enriched at the plaintiff’s expense.”

In the documents, Brown’s legal team states he denies “any indebtedness” to Moses.

The Manly player is 31-year-old, however, has stated his desire to play on for a few more years in recent media interviews.

He was signed in the off-season to the Sea Eagles on a “train-and-trial” basis, however, has since been upgraded to the club’s top 30 roster.

Brown recently played his 150th game in the NRL and made two Origin appearances for NSW in 2020. He also played in the 2022 grand final for Parramatta.

Good , less pressure on the young fulla.
Unfortunately guys like this can’t pick their parents and perhaps RL is the reason they haven't followed the same path as their parents?
