What do you guys suppose they were recording it for?

ASMR?

 

[Mr Fourex]

From what I've read, indeed the act of covertly recording without consent in this scenario, is illegal. Demonstrates what levels of low that they are prepared to sink to, to achieve their goal. Nobody could ever convince me that these two didn't conspire together, and also with others, to get what they wanted, and needed. PVL & Abdo have absolutely no credibility, integrity or honour.

But for sure they will lead their little lambs to the slaughter.

Wish they'd both piss off lol.

Amazing........

I can appreciate deceitfulness...being clever and sneaky.......it is what it is and if done right, kudos for getting away with it.

In this case however........just wow. The level of stupidity....or complete arrogance.....is amazing.
They really have no respect whatsoever for the Players/association.

Hope something will happen.....**** the NRL

Who knows how slimy a private meeting with nrl powerbrokers could become, I bet kickbacks/corruption/bribery is spoken about quite a lot.

probably hunting for any little snippet that could be held as leverage over any dickhead.

100% on that last line. NRL admin are corrupt ***** in the pocket of Rupert's media empire. It's no surprise PVL undersold the rights by a fortune.

As @tommy said, it's leverage but maybe also looking for loopholes and revision. Being able to see where people floundered over points or showed weakness in rhetoric or conviction is hugely beneficial in negotiation.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Well, this is interesting.

 

[Morkel]

Well, this is interesting.

He recently acquired a holiday island resort in the bahamas, sold to him for $1000 by a guy named Pick Nolitis, and has to tend to some groundskeeping. He'll be back by round 2 on his newly signed $150k/yr contract.

‘Give back 200 grand’: League great tees off on ‘pretentious’ players amid recording dispute

‘Give back 200 grand’: NRL great blasts ‘pretentious’ players amid recording dispute

Time and time again, Tallis has proven to be a **** with no morals or integrity but this takes the cake for absolute brain dead takes.

When asked if he thought the private recording issue was a “storm in a teacup”, Queensland legend Tallis teed off. “Don’t jump in the car, don’t walk any streets of Sydney – I think we’re getting recorded everywhere,” he said. “Listen, you would only be worried getting recorded if you’re saying something wrong"

“I get recorded for six hours every week – it doesn’t bother me. I couldn’t give a rats. “If you’re going into negotiating and someone records it, it’s a negotiation! Who cares?”

He couldn’t have missed the point more if he tried. Despite the many legality issues here that he couldn’t understand surely even this fucking moron can understand there is a huge difference between him getting recorded on the radio or TV when he knows he is being recorded and people being recorded without knowledge or consent.

At some point this kind of bullshit becomes less Tallis fault and more the people that pay him for opinion. Like what do you expect when you put an absolute fucking moron that has spent years getting hit in the head in front of a mic.

Flawless logic like this makes you wonder why it was even made illegal in the first place.

Someone should ask Tallis for his email password and phone records, if the dumb **** has nothing to hide he shouldn't object.

 

[Trill Harrigan]

imagine how fucking dumb tallis' outbox would be

he's probably writing emails to inanimate objects

Hey, I’m more of a peon than a pleb

Grade F? Like, they couldn't spell? Syntax errors?

'Nothing other than Tom being assaulted': Magistrate says police who arrested Canberra Raider breached duty

A magistrate says police officers' behaviour during the 2020 arrest of Raider Tom Starling would be "typically seen in a street fight", not in the line of duty.

www.abc.net.au

The Downing Centre Local Court in Sydney saw CCTV footage of police punching Starling in the face multiple times, a scene Magistrate Covington called a "free for all". "One that is more typically seen in a street fight as opposed to officers in their duty," he said. "Clearly what occurred was nothing other than Tom being assaulted himself."
