News Jackson Topine takes Bulldogs to court

[Rebuilding Phase]

Can you elaborate on that?

Not really… lol some of it is very serious that I can’t elaborate on. It was a few years ago and so I don’t spread the information because it’s not for me to say

 

[Rebuilding Phase]

They openly mock him about it on 360, it's great

That’s what I love about this . When he first came out and accused the club of wrong doing, he thought the media would support him and it was the complete opposite. Even 360 weren’t supporting him, including past players. So he’s now realising, holy shit, the only way out is going down this path and he’s realised it’s backfired on him.

You'd be talking like Mr Ed in 5 minutes

More like 1 min. Plus sending conversations isn't talking.

What he was asked to do in training is no more than he would be expected to do in an NRL game, mentally or physically. That's what training is for, so when you get into the hard grind of a match you are used to it.


Always a Bulldog

Yeah, its literally Topines word against the club which is probably why he's gone all out (at the advice of his lawyer and manager probs). Looks like the sum of the statement of claim is what he may have expected to earn in his footy career which is insinuating Dogs have ended his career.

Anyway, this is messy. I suspect Dogs tried to settle out of court but both parties could not reach an agreement hence the SOC. This will go pear shaped for Topine unfortunately. I still think he was hard done by and wish things were different for him. And the media really should not be writing these stories and making the situation worse, but they don't care.

Possibly the case. Someone needs to tap his lawyer on the shoulder and let them know turning up to training late as a fringe first grader doesn’t exactly put you in the best spot to earn $4m+ over the course of your playing career.

He took on a job where the biggest part of it basically required him to wrestle/tackle for 80 minutes .. the rules for slackness being late e.g would have been laid out to them.

I feel sorry for the club CC and staff, they’re trying to rebuild a lazy culture that’s been let go and slack for years, and now they’ve got to deal with this shit ..

I was actually referring to Buzz copping grief about his bias against us. But I do recall them talking about topine now you mention it. The only support he will get it from the bleeding heart wokes

 

[Kaz]

I have always said his attitude and his behaviour off field has been questionable and here we are….

Are you talking about his driving record.

Sounds like you've played that card before

 

[Rebuilding Phase]

Are you talking about his driving record.

No He had a bad one? I’m surprised that kinda stuff didn’t make the news considering he was a dogs player. Media would’ve loved that lol

 

[oldpuppy]

I've never seen a good worker at my workplace sue for disciplinary reasons.
I've seen shit house workers suing using multiple decks of victim cards.

 

[cookieman909]

I remember before this all happened, someone on here claimed to have info on something Topine had done off field that was being kept hush hush. It was Ill discipline or something along those lines. Anyone know what it was? Maybe that can be the undoing of him.

 

[D0GMATIC]

Are you talking about his driving record.

He doesn't have a license . . . Got caught speeding to training, and was late paying the fine

 

[Kaz]

Not answering on grounds it may incriminate. As the yanks say, I am pleading the fifth.

I have no doubt that is the angle that they are taking, they will be saying that the mental anguish suffered through the action of the dogs trainers resulted in him unable to pursue a career in rugby league. The clubs lawyers unfortunately will need to attack Topine to defend itself and will be accused of worsening of his mental state. But for them to defend its actions they will need to argue that the punishment was not the trigger for his mental state and that simply put he was never going to succeed as he did not have the character to be successful, and that the result of incident was confirmation of that. They should also be able to argue, but probably can't that the legal action was an act of desperation by the family because they now knew his limitations.

Pathetic.

 

[chemdog]

We have the bye so the scum **** media need something Bulldog related for some clicks...

and to keep the trindall news from yesterday quiet

 

[sifter6]

would be interesting to know if similar punishment had been handed out with someone else, which they took on the chin

I think that could be part of the defense strategy?

 

[sifter6]

Buzz is normally only on 360 on Mondays, but I bet the old cnt will make a special appearance tonight

Depends if his weekly end-stage syphilis treatments are on a Wednesday night?

Wise choice, now back to the stable you go
