Storm in a teacup. All they need to do is claim the fact they are NRL reporters and so therefore inherently stupid, never deals in facts and are completely incompetent and the journalistic history of NRL reporting will prove this fact beyond doubt and they’ll be acquitted.

I wonder if Laurie and the Panthers are going to take legal action against DT. They should.

For those wondering, DT fucked up by putting a photo of the wrong person. Right name, different person. The Daine Laurie they're referring to is a former Tigers player that people might remember from 2008 when he made his debut against the Broncos in Round 15. He was the big Indigenous player with dreadlocks that the commentators wouldn't shut up about. He didn't last long in the NRL, though.

I'm not sure how DT could **** something like this up, but they found a way.

lol didnt Fox News do this a few years ago when they were sued? Their arguement in court was like: no reasonable viewer would believe what we said was factual reporting...

It's about time.

Maybe the Tigers can finally move forward now. There was a lot of rot at that club and it started with the head office.
