Rumour Noah Balta assault charges

[Saucery]

Maybe we can get Noah to take a few of the young Kangas boys out for a few bevvies. Picks 1 & 2 incoming

So, Noah is into grooming young boys too?

4 games is a pretty strong message to the playing group.

I imagine that shaves a bit off his pay too.

They might need to frontload some contracts to make sure they hit the salary cap floor

4 weeks to me indicates that Richmond think he is in a lot trouble and wasn't just there protecting all of Mulwala's women and kids from a 1 man violent rampage throughout the town

There goes our chances of making the 8.

May as well tank for pick 1 Dyson Sharp. But if only we had another early first rounder. Like North usually do.....

As if he would be able to pay attention for 40 minutes

Paid attention for 120 minutes in the GF whilst the cats were trying to tickle his feet.

Too easy. What happened?

100 minutes given it was a Covid final and not a real Grand Final

Or NB himself admitted guilt to the club (most likely)

Aye it was a quick dispense of the germs.

Agreed on both fronts.

I think they (Richmond) did the right thing here. They got ahead of it by laying out a decent penalty and get Balta to go through a process of self-improvement. I'm guessing the game ban and the courses Richmond are sending him on may also play in to reducing any civil or criminal penalty.

The alternative is to string everyone along and have the media snooping around asking what's going on and fuelling speculation.

But it's pretty clear there is a new nickname for him going around - Belta

Sounds like he should be given an AO for community service
He's basically a hero who saved the lives of poor innocent children.

Agreed. 4 weeks is very harsh given this.

(I would have quoted the post this post was quoting bit it seems to have disappeared.)
