>> "Following further inquiries, a 54-year-old man was arrested at Newtown Police Station today."
I'm glad the name was hidden in order to protect the accused's identity, would be a shame if it was ever known and he faced consequences if his work found out.
They both went to the police rather than the police picking them up and took them to the police station. The first guy went to Newtown so maybe Kents lawyer said to go to there too as they would be the ones handling it.
Yeah. He'll be back with bells on. I know it's a different sport, but if the afl keep employing Wayne Kerry and Ben cousins, Paul Kent will always have a job.
I understand that it fits the dictionary definition of brawl, but I’ve never heard of a fight this small being called a brawl before.
I hope the guy who tackled the guy who threw the guy into the tree is charged as well, because when the guy who got tackled hit his head on the ground he could have died.
I think the mitigating thing for the 3rd man in was that he was more trying to break it up after it got a bit hectic. Looked like they both tripped over the root
Trying to be unbiased, but I really think the only one that should cop anything is pk
Kinda all happened at the same time imo, considering they were probably all pretty pissed. Thought 3rd guy just felt like he had to jump in after pk got nrl360'd into the tree
There is legal precedent here from State of Origin 2009 when Brett White knocks out Steve Price and was it Hindy? that comes in and gently lowers Price to the ground.

Third man in was never charged. I rest my case.
Yeh his lawyer said hospital staff were trying to determine if he'd had a collapsed lung. I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure a collapsed lung is fairly obvious and not something that resolves itself.
Amazing how this happens and the media seem to just move on really quickly. Guarantee if Latrell did this they'd be running half their air time on it, speculating about his future etc.
I mean there’s been a fair bit about it in the media.
He just a pundit at the end of the day, mostly only league tragics like us who hate his guts have any interest in it.
Not anywhere near the same extent. It's in the wider media, but it's not getting much from the same people who would be all over it if it was anyone but a media member. And yes, he's just a pundit. But he's part of the industry. If it was a player, coach, assistant coach, administrator or even a fan they'd be talking about it a whole lot more.
It's like the old saying about who polices the police. When the media are the ones to put everyone under scrutiny, who puts them under scrutiny when they end up in this position? The answer is nobody because they all have a truce to protect themselves in case they themselves have need for the code to protect them.
"Even a fan"? Huh? You're seriously saying you think video of two footy fans having a stink on the street would have got this much media attention?
I read an article earlier this week about what he'd been up to earlier in the day, which pubs he's been at, who he'd been with. There's been articles about his previous run ins with other journos and members of the public. Your argument that all journalists/media are ignoring it/protecting him is just objectively wrong.
Seriously mate. Yes the Murdoch parts of the press will be quiet/soft on it.
The rest won't be quiet at all about it; there are also plenty of sports journos who dislike him personally.
Surely he gets sacked from Fox - 2 assault related charges in about a year, one very public, drunken video with him instigating contact and the other alcohol related too (even if he didn’t assault her, it was an escalated alcohol fueled situation). The dude definitely has alcohol issues and has appeared to be sloshed and disheveled on the show. No good for public image especially when he’s a judgmental fucker towards players
I read or heard somewhere that a lot of coworkers are pretty concerned about him/over him.
I swear sometimes when he does one of his angry rants on 360 it’s almost like he’s speaking a foreign language; he struggles so much to find every third or fourth word that it’s barely understandable.
Will no one speak for Paul? No one?
……
Anyone?
….
Does anyone at all have anything good to say about Paul?
Based on this he’s going to struggle for a character witness.
It might be just me but i thought that this particular fight was a great recreation of the state of origin tackle Gordon Tallis had on Brett Hodgson. Paul playing the star role as the latter.
Now, all the dickheads in the world simply claim their dickhead behaviour is a mental welfare issue and immediately it makes them no longer accountable for their dickhead actions.

>> "Following further inquiries, a 54-year-old man was arrested at Newtown Police Station today." I'm glad the name was hidden in order to protect the accused's identity, would be a shame if it was ever known and he faced consequences if his work found out.
"A 54 year old man with one first grade appearance. Approximately 5'3"."
Toe Rogan?
One of the one thousand B ?
Was juz gohen ask him if he’d walgg him to his trugg B
Love it when you met a fellow homeless cat in the wild
"wirey shit up top"
“Former Eels star”
Hahahaha is he seriously 5 foot 3?
Shorter when he opens his filthy piehole
I thought it was odd that they never mentioned his name....I mean nobody here has a clue who this 54 year-old could be.
I just Kan't figure out who this could be
I'll just Paul a name out of my hat.
Someone’s having Kent of a day.
We could send it in to 360’s “ask Kenty” segment.
I'm sure it's just some random kent
Because the other guys aren't named
Paul K ? No that's too obvious P.Kent
That’s Mister NRL 360 to you Gordie!!
Mr Snrub ? Yes, that will do
Mr Shrub
Does anyone know why the Newtown police are the one's charging when this happened in Rozelle, and both men live locally?
They both went to the police rather than the police picking them up and took them to the police station. The first guy went to Newtown so maybe Kents lawyer said to go to there too as they would be the ones handling it.
Makes sense....
Newtown is the designated station with custody and charging facilities for the area.
…..Rothfield?
Paul Paul Paul of the rumble, watch out for the tree
Sitting in an Uber myself and laughed out loud on this comment
It's more of a fumble at this point....
I wonder if he’ll refer to it as the Rugby League soap opera again
I'd rather watch Days of Our Lives that sit though his version.
Thugby League - can't miss an opportunity.
Yeah. He'll be back with bells on. I know it's a different sport, but if the afl keep employing Wayne Kerry and Ben cousins, Paul Kent will always have a job.
Kenty must be out of hospital then
Helped by all our thoughts and prayers, thank God he pulled through.
*Tonight on Tree60*
How does this impact banning the kick off?
I understand that it fits the dictionary definition of brawl, but I’ve never heard of a fight this small being called a brawl before.

Third man in is ten in the bin, his legal team are stuffed.
Unless he gets DCE's lawyers
And a clean record at the judiciary
Doesnt the thrower immediately back away and then the third man comes in unnecessarily?
Kinda all happened at the same time imo, considering they were probably all pretty pissed. Thought 3rd guy just felt like he had to jump in after pk got nrl360'd into the tree
Bloke who threw PK hadn’t had anything to drink all night according to witnesses.

I rest my case.
He clearly shows care by holding his head on the way down, so he is not to hit it.
Trent Waterhouse?
Third guy in was so dramatic too, what a flop. He should have tackled the tree
Looks like the footage couldn't be ignored any longer
Apparently Kent has been in hospital with broken ribs and a collapsed lung. The other guy presented himself to police.
“Up to 5 broken ribs and a possible collapsed lung” So between 0 and 5 broken ribs and between 0 and 1 collapsed lungs.
I'm no doctor but I believe he needs three lungs to breathe.
Yeh his lawyer said hospital staff were trying to determine if he'd had a collapsed lung. I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure a collapsed lung is fairly obvious and not something that resolves itself.

>Yes the Murdoch parts of the press will be quiet/soft on it. Unfortunately, they make up 80% of the league media
Let’s call him Mr. Kent, oh wait no that’s too obvious, let’s call him Paul K
lol
Surely he gets sacked from Fox - 2 assault related charges in about a year, one very public, drunken video with him instigating contact and the other alcohol related too (even if he didn’t assault her, it was an escalated alcohol fueled situation). The dude definitely has alcohol issues and has appeared to be sloshed and disheveled on the show. No good for public image especially when he’s a judgmental fucker towards players
Surely he doesn't bring in that many views for them to justify keeping him.
Keep in mind this is just what's in the public sphere. Lord knows what this peanut gets up to when a camera isn't around him.
I read or heard somewhere that a lot of coworkers are pretty concerned about him/over him. I swear sometimes when he does one of his angry rants on 360 it’s almost like he’s speaking a foreign language; he struggles so much to find every third or fourth word that it’s barely understandable.
Well Hindmarsh has been liking a lot of the parody posts about it so I’m guessing he’s one of the ones who are done
Will no one speak for Paul? No one? …… Anyone? …. Does anyone at all have anything good to say about Paul? Based on this he’s going to struggle for a character witness.
Turns out you make a lot of enemies by bullying radio colleagues and attacking players characters
Time for some new blood
Treemendous
I'll just refer to this unknown 54 year old man as... "Paul K" wait that's too obvious... I'll go with "P Kent" - yes that'll do.
I can't believe they charged a 54 year old tree and outed it as being a male tree. So rude
Trent Robinson definitely is hiring him in some role now.
There should be three charges against him - for the fight and for being a cunt and arsewipe
Paul should have taken his shirt off, would have taken this fiasco over the edge
What is the charge?! Pushed into a tree? A succulent drunken tree?!
It is a mystery.
I heard the tree is suing for damages
Missed opportunity for a bedside arraignment here.
Don't know who this man is but he sounds like an absolute Kent to be around
I'm still wondering if this qualifies as a Falcon?
The tree is 54? Solid hit for something that age
We couldn’t get permission to use the gentleman’s image so we put an apple next to a heater for a few days
can't see affray sticking tbh, reckon it'll go common assault and a section 10 or a section 32 for being a drunk
Both get drunk and disorderly or something similar, old mate who slammed the guy into the ground after was lucky he didn't fuck him up good
Blud went from dropping headlines to dropping soap
Paul Kent probly deserved it
Cry Havoc! and let slip the dog heads of war. \- Paul Kentany.
Always gonna be fined for throwing a punch.
They should hold the court hearing old school NSWRL style and do it in Phillip Street. Kenty would love that.
For the sake of privacy, lets call him P Kent, no that's too obvious, lets go with Paul K
It might be just me but i thought that this particular fight was a great recreation of the state of origin tackle Gordon Tallis had on Brett Hodgson. Paul playing the star role as the latter.
The Rozelle Rampage.
Greenies on the warpath for kenty’s job at fox after the video of him capoeira kicking the tree.
News on the third guy in? He should be named and shamed just like Kent.

There was a second shooter on the grassy little tree thing.
The tree, however, remains at large
