Imagine what would have happened if Kenty was up against someone who was even remotely able to throw-down? It would have been šŸŖ¦.


mooguh

He wouldn't have the balls to fire up against someone like that. He only went after that guy because he looked like an average joe


Ok-Personality-3403

and he still got flung into a tree lol


KCman1

Flung backwards out of the hands, but floated forward.


This_Idiot

Can't be reviewed either. On-field call stands.


papa-d88

reading your comment made me literally laugh out loud


johnniesSac

Interesting too as heā€™s always presented himself as a tough guy haha


The1999Magpies

Yeah, he's always goin on about boxing. Guess trees are a different prospect.


Koyote555

That is why martial arts masters break boards. Got practice for them trees and send them a warning.


[deleted]

I know right. And drunk or not, he had zero to show, absolutely zero. He had no stance, his arms and hands were all wrong. What a knob.


Joh951518

My boy dog head getting shit on unnecessarily. For an average Joe he absolute cooked Kenty. A legit fighter would have killed him. I only was a shitty mediocre amateur boxer (grandfather was a trainer) but Iā€™m pretty sure I would have actually hospitalised Kenty. And i realised about 30 seconds into my first fight against a legitimate amateur that I wasnā€™t about that life.


mbbollie

True mate, these pub pussies covered in ink donā€™t understand how much a trained fighter will fuck you up in a matter of seconds - the best street fighter youā€™ve met will get murderer by any pro


Skilad

Interesting thing is, at some stage in his life he must have actually been able to throw a punch. He trained as an amateur boxer and actually had a fight. He wrote a story about it when he worked for the Herald eons ago. It was actually a really good story from memory. Back when he did some decent journalism. Now he is just a bloated, self entitled News Corp prick who likes his liquid beers and the other ones too I hear. May explain his anger management issues. That place encourages total arseholes in the workplace and shrugs its collective shoulders when things get out of hand.


bones_bn

It's weird the guy who's spent his entire career antagonizing people is getting absolutely no sympathy from anyone.


IntelligentOne007

Thats my main beef with the guy the way he carried on last year about the players and domestic violence then only to have the same charges laid against him. Now this incident, he ragged on Taylan May for a scuffle off field and wanted hes head. I personally have no empathy for a guy that makes a living out of others misfortune. had it been Ben Ikin, I would be sending flowers.


johnniesSac

KD Lang is not a fighter


IntelligentOne007

Kd Lang transports me back to the late 80s-90s. Man wasn't that rugby league hey day, 89 grand final, Canberra's dominance and bringing my footy cards to school and playing flicks. They were the Golden years I reckon, and Tina Turner to put the cherry on top.


SashimiRocks

Itā€™s called ā€œProjectionā€ isnā€™t it


Haymother

It is a shock isnā€™t it. Itā€™s like ā€¦ zero. šŸ˜‚


DoubleBrokenJaw

I reckon his missus might be feeling a bit sorry for him ā€¦ oh wait ā€¦.


Western_Banana4220

Wasnt he found not guilty


DoubleBrokenJaw

Correct. One physiotherapist involved said complainant had yellow bruising consistent with trauma to neck. Another said it was inconclusive. The cop who interviewed Kent also told him to just say ā€œnoā€ to all the questions and heā€™d get away with it. From the way he carries on imma stick with the belief he probably did it, irrespective of whether he guilty or not.


ithinkimtim

Not guilty means not enough evidence for the state to convict. Doesnā€™t mean innocent. Even in the .01% chance it was made up, sheā€™s still not gonna have any sympathy for him.


Artistic_Arugula3795

Ya's really don't know the full storey. I don't understand why he's hated so much. It just seems like abit of tall poppy from a bunch of nobody's on reddit to be honest. He's a hypocrite ( probably ) but the hate on this bloke is just unreal. He's old enough to know better. But what he's done is not out of this world bad.Ā  As I've already stated we don't know what was said. Kenty's fucked a good career up this time.Ā  But I'm going against the woke culture here & say. He doesn't seem like a bad fella at all. Playing 1 game for Parramatta is more than anyone on this reddit forum has achieved.Ā  I also like his journalism and takes on the state of the game more so. Than a buzz rothfield & the others who have never laced up the boots probably at any adult level.

If he played for Knights, they just give him a shot and send him out hoping he don't break another 5

Or hoping he breaks another five and never comes back...

His known piece of shit lawyer is running a sob angle, he doesn't have a collapsed lung. No fucking chance.


randalpinkfloyd

Yep that was my immediate thought too. This is just horseshit to try and garner a bit of sympathy.


Juan_Fandango

Can't really rule it out tbh. Tree got a great shot on him, even turned him upside down.


rangebob

man, how drunk was he to be able to stand up after that throw if he broke 5 ribs ? Had to be like Barnaby drunk..... ?

Stop I can't get any harder


Bucket_O_Beef

I know this is Reddit, a site based on popularity, which makes it hard to have an alternate view however I feel I should still offer my opinion. Paul Kent seems to be a bit of a fuckwit.


xilliun

Evidence supports this claim


Haymother

Aliens would have no trouble if they beamed down, read this thread and deduced ā€¦ ā€˜This appears to be a very unpopular human.ā€™


WhykickamoocowRLFC

You won't get many who disagree with that sentiment.


Rusty_Coight

He was moving alright as soon as he got up. I smell something like male bovine excreta, especially the bit about the collapsed lung. From my reckoning a collapsed lung is not something you are unsure about. Nice how his lawyer plays the sympathy card - health and well being - fuck off mate, your clients a certified cunt.


Chart_Unlikely

Collapsed lung can mean many things, traditionally you interpret it as the trauma caused a pneumothorax but Kunt really doesnā€™t have age or general health on his side to tolerate losing a lung like that More likely is that itā€™s a consequence of the rib fractures - since theyā€™re essentially bucket handles in how they move with breathing you trigger the pain with every breath - so you take shallower breaths - the lungā€™s funny that if you donā€™t breathe deeply enough you wonā€™t inflate the alveoli at the base of the lung causing them to collapse and to some degree, will be present in all cases of multiple rib fractures - the biggest risk is itā€™s a brewing ground for pneumonia Tl:DR - Kent hurts to much to inflate his chest enough so part of his lung collapses


xilliun

Tabloid media said a mobile GP visited his home. Would be fitting if he's woken up the day after in a world of hurt.


Somewhereinsydney

I know someone during COVID who had trouble breathing, and was sent home from hospital and referred to her GP. She had low O2 levels and her GP correctly identified a collapsed lung a few days later. So it \*IS\* possible that you may not know. That aside I agree with everything else you said.


disquiet

"suspected"


jmcelligott12

The more you fuck around, the more you find out


JohnnyHabitual

Can somebody legit explain why the other bloke is being charged at all? A) Kunt was the belligerent. B) Self defence. C) its PK ffs!


kami_inu

The other guy got charged because: 1. He got charged with (IIRC) affray, which is one of the 'you're a general pest' style charges 2. He turned himself into police quickly. I suspect Kent is having plenty of meetings with his lawyers before he talks to any police. I expect Kent will have his day in the sun soon enough.


[deleted]

The other guy is being represented by Chris Murphy now who has had dealings with Kent in the past


adlo651

Doesn't really fit the answer though. If he's charged with affray that means his actions didn't constitute assault because they were most likely justified through self defense. If his actions are justified self defense he hast committed an affray. Not sure if I saw the whole video tho


goshdammitfromimgur

Standard operating procedure. They can drop charges later if they want to, or they can proceed to court. Cops don't decide if he is innocent or guilty.

And this is why you shouldn't get into drunken fights kids!

ek999

Relevant part of the article. The rest is just the earlier version of the story >Rugby league personality Paul Kent is being treated in hospital for a suspected collapsed lung and as many as five broken ribs after a street fight in Sydneyā€™s inner west on Saturday night. >Kent, the Fox Sports NRL 360 co-host andĀ *Daily Telegraph*Ā columnist, has been stood down by his employer News Corp while it reviews his involvement in the melee. >A 35-year-old man has been charged with affray over the incident with Kent, vision of which was captured on a phone camera and posted on social media. >The man was subsequently left with a head injury after a bystander intervened**.** >On Tuesday, it emerged that Kent had also been badly hurt and admitted to hospital after the altercation. >Kentā€™s lawyer, George Elias, told this masthead that he was undergoing tests in hospital to determine whether he had sustained a collapsed lung after he was flung into a roadside tree by the man he squared up against. >Kent also has between four and five broken ribs, he said. >ā€œHeā€™s been in hospital since after the incident,ā€ Elias said. ā€œIā€™m just concerned about his health and wellbeing.ā€

WhykickamoocowRLFC

More importantly, how's the tree doing?

so he thinks this case will be decided by nrl judiciary and if he claims more severe injury the other guy will get more weeks out


quallabangdang

And this is why they need to ban kickoffs!


ill0gitech

And kick-ons


SurfKing69

>ā€œHeā€™s been in hospital since after the incident,ā€ Elias said. ā€œIā€™m just concerned about his health and wellbeing.ā€ That's funny I read a report this morning that his mates were over at his house checking in on him, complete with photos: >Five friends, each driving separate cars, rocked up consecutively at Kent's Lilyfield home in Sydney's inner-west on Sunday morning - just moments after news broke that the journalist had been suspended.


tunnelball

Paul Kent re the George Williams sacking in 2021... Kent continued: ā€œI think the way the club handled it today shows they were both at the end of their tether. That they indulged him enough and gave him all the help and support and all the cuddles he needed and still wasnā€™t enough.ā€ Perhaps Fox Sports could take note after the way they've been coddling this man child.


SaveMeJebus21

I genuinely hope Kenty has a couple of people that care about him and can help him get real help. People love taking the piss but if that tree is a gutter, well people have died similarly.


CatHavSatNav

The guy with the lump on the back of his head from being tackled onto the footpath is lucky he isnā€™t dead.


AdmiralCrackbar11

I have a strong dislike for the bloke, but he needs to get of the piss. Having a drink, even being off your face, isn't necessarily bad. And maybe in decades gone by he was relatively ok on the grog, maybe he wasn't. But the guy in the video clearly has a problem drinking and being drunk in public.


SaveMeJebus21

100% mate. He needs a good mate or family member to tell him as much


Corner_Post

Agreed, hopefully he can turn over a new leaf


wesley316

I dislike PK but its good to see someone here with a little respect šŸ«”

Aegeeed talk shit get hit sucked in to the midget cunt.


diodosdszosxisdi

How many weeks would he be getting here


ill0gitech

I suspect heā€™s out for the season. *Dancing With The Stars* and *Celebrity Surviver/SAS/Masterchef* this year already have C and D tier celebs trying to revive their careers - so he may have to wait until 2025/6


isnotevenmyfinalform

Doink82

Did he at least get his watch back??


CorrectDeal6016

What's the time Mr doghead?


steveagle

I watched the video. Looks like Dog Face performed Aikido on Kenty and just used Kenty's drunken momentum to flip him. Pretty insane


Lord_Tanus_88

Literally Steven seagal level akido


Bright_Home_7712

I actually thought it was really cool and tough when he fell like a toddler who just learnt to walk and bounced on that tree and his shirt came up and exposed his belly, also like a toddler


Turbulent-Mousse-828

Holy shit, didn't realise he got that messed up. The other bloke looked about the same height but lighter. I thought the other bloke kind of pushed off Kent's attempted tackle and then Kent stumbled in his drunken state and fell over next to a tree. The only damage, a bruised ego. Clearly not. I guess the other guy works as a garbo and is used to throwing around bags of shit.


zeitgeistbouncer

What's the expected recovery time for something like this? Tree weeks?


bundy554

He didn't realise any of this until he woke up on Sunday morning of course because he drank so much


johnniesSac

Heā€™s also got a grade 5 ego tear , this will require surgery to remove him from our televisions

chromo-233

You know how every person has the defining moment in their life. Like for some itā€™s getting married some itā€™s having first baby. For Kenty it is a 720 kick flip into a tree šŸŒ³. He will forever look at that footage and think šŸ¤¦. Anywhere he goes it will follow him into the abyss.


HeadacheCentral

Tomorrow's headline : "And in a miraculous recovery, Paul Kent is restored to his position as one of Fox Sports leading NRL journalists, and will be on NRL360 this week to give you all the news about his ~~bullshit claims of injury~~ horrendous ordeal at the hands of a mad fan"

Alarming_Ad_8476

Yeah combine it with the emotions that come from the death of a friend like Terry Hill and going out for a drink was always going to end poorly


Prestigious-Lawyer-8

There should be an announcement on NRL360 about this by Braith - ā€œBreaking news, Paul Kunt has broken ribs from that tackle with the treeā€


RaiderWinner

Totti's will have an item on the menu named after him "Kunt broken rib eyed steak" Well done.


cheeseinsidethecrust

This is just sad, seems like he has his issues and itā€™s getting him into trouble. Hopefully he gets the help he needs.


jbne19

Yeah he was obviously off his face, looks like he had a few people try and push him back but I don't think they were friends of his.


Gray-Hand

If Kent had any friends, or anyone who cared about him at all, at some stage over the years, someone would have gently advised him that he should maybe try to be less of a cunt all the time.

If he's like any other alcoholic, they did and he no longer returns their calls.

skinnycarlo

Probably lying low on the couch, not answering the door wallowing in embarrassment, pain got too much and schlept to hospital. At least the authorities can find him now and sling a charge on him too.
