Wasn't Paul McCartney's brother in the group? Some trainspotter will know.

He was, that's him in that video. Changed his name though to avoid the embarrassment of being associated with the Beatles. I see Bernie Sanders was in it too, anything for charity.
Youve gone way off topic as usual bruce, I heard Rocco's a big Scaffold fan, he's always adding them to the playlist at the gym much to Jazz's annoyance.

Revealed: The Brisbane Broncos footy star who was cut by the club after being charged with rape over alleged attack in a pub toilet
16:58 AEDT, 3 October 2023- TC Robati can now be named as NRL player charged with rape
- Former Broncos star, 21, said encounter was consensual
- Identity was suppressed due to previous legislation
Published: 16:58 AEDT, 3 October 2023 |
One-time Broncos star Teui 'TC' Robati has been named as the NRL player charged with rape following an alleged incident at the Prince Consort Hotel in Fortitude Valley on December 11 last year.
Robati, 21, was sacked by the NRL club in February following a string of off-field incidents, including being charged with unlicensed driving.
In 2021, the New Zealand-born backrower was also fined and had his licence suspended after pleading guilty to dangerous operation of a car.
Robati can now be named as the alleged sex offender after new legislation which came into effect at midnight on Monday.
The legislation lifted the prohibition in place against identifying people charged with prescribed sexual offences before their cases have been committed to trial.

The New Zealand-born backrower previously stated his alleged interaction with the victim was consensual
Robati allegedly raped a woman at the hotel on December 11, and was charged on January 14.
Previously, Robati has proclaimed his innocence, adamant the interaction with the woman at the popular pub in Brisbane's party district was consensual.
He told the NRL he had gone to a bathroom with the woman, where they engaged in a consensual sex act.
Robati's case is listed for a further mention in the Brisbane Magistrates Court next week.
He made 17 appearances across two seasons with the Broncos in 2021 and 2022.

NRL News 2023: St George Illawarra rising star Junior Amone found guilty of hammer attack | Daily Telegraph
St George Illawarra suffered a devastating setback as they look to rebuild the club after five-eighth Junior Amone was found guilty on Wednesday morning of assault charges, leaving him facing jail time and casting doubt on his immediate future in the NRL.Amone and his father Talatau fronted court on Wednesday morning where a verdict was rendered in relation to an incident that occurred late last year in Wollongong. Amone will remain on bail until December, when he will be sentenced.
The Dragons immediately responded by standing down Amone from all club duties.

“The Dragons acknowledge the guilty verdict handed down to player Talatau Amone in Wollongong Court today in relation to an assault last November,” a club statement said.
“As a result of this outcome, Amone has been stood down from all club activities until further notice.
“The club will make no further comment at this time as court proceedings continue.”
Amone was initially stood down under the no-fault stand-down policy when he was charged earlier this year but the NRL lifted the ban before the season began and he went on to make 19 appearances for the Dragons this season.
He was set to be a pivotal piece of the club’s planned revival under incoming coach Shane Flanagan, but any plans the Dragons had for Amone are now in disarray, leaving them worryingly short in their halves stocks.
Halfback and captain Ben Hunt sought a release earlier this year following the sacking of former coach Anthony Griffin, despite having two years remaining on his deal at St George Illawarra.

Although that was rejected and the Queensland and Australian representative looks likely to play for the Red-V next year, he has made no secret his desire to return to Queensland.
The Dragons have, however, released young halves talent Jayden Sullivan to the Wests Tigers on a four-year deal from next season.
Their immediate replacement options to fill the five-eighth role are new signing Kyle Flanagan, who has signed a two-year deal to join his father after leaving Canterbury, and Jack Bird, who hasn’t played in the halves since round 6, 2022.

There are very few current free agent options.
Brandon Wakeham, who played 15 games in the halves for the Wests Tigers, is without a club for 2024.
However, Newcastle utility Kurt Mann, has been linked to Canterbury for next season, as has Chooks utility Drew Hutchison.
Manly utility Kaeo Weekes is expected to sign with Canberra and replace outgoing five-eighth Jack Wighton.
Depending on what happens with Amone, the Dragons may head to the open market and look at some of the big names who are up for grabs from November 1 for the 2025 season.
Penrith’s premiership hero Jarome Luai, Brisbane’s grand final star Ezra Mam, North Queensland’s Origin representative Tom Dearden and Sydney Roosters pair Luke Keary and Joseph Manu headline the list of players off contract at the end of next season.
It also includes Canberra’s Jamal Fogarty, Canterbury’s Toby Sexton, Newcastle’s Tyson Gamble and the Dolphins’ Kodi Nikorima.
MORE TO COME
I miss the days of the player misbehaviour being more on the embarrassing side after being too drunk.
These last couple on this page are on the really serious side. Rape, murder and an assault with a hammer. Could be some big jail sentences being dished out.
Things were quite quiet for a while like things were improving.

I was going to post this last week but didn't want to scare anyone with dread when they see this thread being updated. It won't matter as much now seeing as there has been some activity.
This covers the case of Trevor Bauer, a Major League Baseball picture who was accused of sexual misconduct and was stood down by MLB for a few years. The issue was recently sorted.
Yes, it is not NRL. But it is worth reviewing with some of our cases that get given the no-fault stand down while they wait to go to court. I understand the bad headlines aren't great for the sports leagues but it also has to balance against the legal process. Remember innocent until proven guilty.
The athletes in our part of the world don't earn as much as they do in America. But they still earn enough that someone may try and plan something for a payout.

Wondered why Amone wasn't in the Tongan squad and there are more players in trouble
A junior member of the Wests Tigers playing group Masei Tavui has been arrested and charged with one count of murder.
New South Wales police allege the 19-year-old is responsible for the death of underworld figure Dejan Radulovic on July 29, according to reports from various media, including The Sydney Morning Herald and News.com.au.
The report states that Radulovic was allegedly stabbed and shot on Donnelly Street in Balmain following an altercation on the day in question, causing significant head and shoulder wounds which police allege were from being bashed and stabbed.
Police raided his home on Tuesday to seize evidence before leading him away. Tavui was taken to Liverpool police station after being arrested and charged with the alleged offence.
He is believed to have been denied bail and appeared in a committal hearing at Liverpool Local Court while another man has also been charged as an accessory to murder.
A junior rising through the ranks at the Tigers, Tavui has been with the club for four years and played alongside a number of talented players who will push for first-grade honours in the coming years during the 2023 SG Ball campaign.
The back-rower had previously played in the Harold Matthews (under-17s) competition before progressing to the SG Ball (under-19s) at the Western Suburbs Magpies this year where he made all of his appearances off the interchange bench, but didn't play during the back-half of the season before the Magpies were knocked out in Week 1 of the finals by the Parramatta Eels.

Don’t forget the child porn as well!
To be honest, the stand down is looking like a good idea from this page.
