I hate the Sharks but..

...how is this a story?

IN the most unlikely of places, another black eye for rugby league's centenary season. Not in a pub, a fast-food outlet or even on the streets of Kings Cross - this time the damage was done in the middle of a mosh pit at a concert by the rock band Korn.

Four Cronulla Sharks players were interviewed by police yesterday after a man alleged he had been punched by one of them during the concert at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Sunday night.

Ben Pomeroy, Dustin Cooper, Jacob Selmes and Brett Kearney, all first graders with the club, spent several hours at City Central station. They have denied any wrongdoing to club officials and left the police station without being charged.

Cronulla's chief executive, Tony Zappia, said last night the players had gone voluntarily to the police station accompanied by football manager Steve Litvensky.

"I spoke to all four of them just quickly," Mr Zappia said. "I just asked them if anything happened and they said no more than anything that normally happens in a mosh pit. They said they had nothing to hide. They don't know what they're supposed to have done.

"They went from training straight into the police station. They went in their training gear - it's probably a bit like the Bulldogs, not suitably attired, but they were that keen to clear their names.

"They just jumped in the car and all went in together."

So, in summary:

- 4 20-something young men attend Korn concert
- someone gets punched in mosh pit
- players attend police station voluntarily to give their statements
- players leave without charge

Wow. What a story :roll: OK, so they have poor taste in music, but FFS, what's wrong with them attending a concert? If none of them are being charged, and the investigation into who punched the bloke is continuing (and from my limited experience of moshpits, the odds of identifying who the hell punched him is slim unless he turns himself in or a mate dobs him in), why report it?

!@#% I hate the media!!

Well, probably more so for the good of their own reputations, but they're both related!

Exactly what I thought when I heard it on the radio last night. It seems every time something happens, if there's a footballer in the vicinity, it makes the news, even if the guys may have simply been witnesses.

2 week suspension for attending a Korn concert imo.

Other than that, a complete non-issue. Glad it's in the media tbh... looks good for league.

 

[spoonbled]

glad they didnt give any1 the chicken wing.

Come on Coxy. This article speaks for itself.

If you read between the lines, and use your imagination you would read the real reason.

They bagged out and gave all the glory to Swimming. And now this happened.

They have egg on their face, and they are using league, in anyway possible, to wipe it off.

Unbelievable, this has pretty much confirmed how useless the scrutiny of the media is on rugby league players today, its remarkable, and no wonder recent past players have been commenting that the media is the one thing they don't miss at all.
The rugby league press is so different to what it was even a few years ago, but over the last couple of years it has been nothing short of insane.
No wonder Timmy Smith chose to let it all go, can't seem to go to a concert these days unscathed.

I've just received an anonymous tip that in the SMH tomorrow, their lead story will be "League star busted in nude romp". Apparently Greg Inglis is going to admit to showering naked.

You heard it here first!

BLASPHEMY!!!

How would you be able to identify who punched who in a mosh pit at a Korn concert? You would be flat out identifying where the band was!

Exactly. It would've been a case of "Someone punched me" and "I recognise those guys". 1 + 1 = 369.

I mean you can't expect Korn fans to have much intelligence, so they probably would make that link.

 

[Nashy]

Who are Korn anyway, is this band a rip off of the late 90's Korn?

Korn from the late 90's still exist....

MORE BLASPHEMY!

I'll have you know I am quite intelligent and I'm a Korn fan.

Since when? Is that the concert that they went to?[/quote:onayhwg8]

It would have to be. They're the only Korn that's been around. They have been releasing albums since the 90's too.

Life is Peachy
Follow the Leader (Was the big one)

Untouchables
Take a look in the Morror (Greatest Hits Album)

In saying that, I do quite enjoy Korn. Some of their stuff does it for me, some doesn't. Coxy, silly to judge lots of people because of their love for a band.

Actually, Take A Look In The Mirror was their 5th studio album. They released a Greatest Hits Album, aptly named 'Greatest Hits Vol.1'. :D

.. dont we count the self titled as a cd anymore [icon_confu

I thought Korn were dead and buried (not literally). I loved Korn, one of my favourites of all time. After their greatest hits album I really never took any more notice, I thought they were kuput. [icon_shru

Follow The Leader was by far their best album.

Its a tough one. While follow the leader had some brilliant songs, it also had some horrible ones (mostly the ones with rappers as guests). I like all their albums especially follow the leader, take a look in the mirror and untouchables. The new one is starting to grow on me finally lol
