Wallabies 2023

What's rugby's stance on stuff like this during the ongoing court process?

NRL had a few cases where players were stood down but weren't convicted.

Might be the end of his world cup dream.

Indeed, although I thought that dream was not highly likely to be realised anyway.

 

[Braveheart81]

If he's charged I can't see how there is any alternative but to stand him down.

 

[Dctarget]

Yep, if true goodbye Kurtley. Waratahs to release him as well you'd imagine.

What’s the deal with rugby players and toilets?

To be fair, I don't think the use of toilets is confined to rugby players.

 

[Confucius Say]

KB (Kurtley Beale) won’t be going to the RWC anyway. This makes sure of it. Even if they are just allegation, his history is chequered.

Another 9 worth considering is Nick Duffy from Norths in Shute Shield. He has to be better than Jake Gordon?

rugby really emulating the nrl now

too many Waratah joint training sessions with NRL clubs

Broom cupboards were popular a couple of years ago.

Wouldn't he be in the Waratahs if was?

Yeap, I can't see even if he isn't convicted how he comes back into the Wallabies camp. Goes against everything about the whole crap Drew Mitchell shoves in our face about "being a good bloke".

Don't see how you can tar Mitchell here.

That would be a different story but in the scheme of things that would be a long way down the track and irrelevant for this year.

Given his age it is probably irrelevant for his rugby career in Australia at the very least.

If he's charged then there won't be any resolution anytime soon.

I think they would have to stand them down while it goes through the courts to have any integrity. These can go on for a long time though as it’s often basically ‘he says she says’. Eg de Belin, Higgins etc. For someone his age it could mean the end so he’ll probably be getting a lot of game time with Randwick. He and RA/Tahs could mutually agree to end ties.

he's certainly work giving a shot

I would be very surprised if Eddie wasn't still planning on heading to USA to coach them in the 2031 home world cup.

At 71yo? I doubt his wife will accept that

 

[Tazzmania]

This Beale story is going to generate a lot of publicity, I hope that the lady involved is ok and is looked after.

This Beale story is going to generate a lot of publicity, I hope that the lady involved is ok and is looked after.

And I hope his wife (partner?) / mother of his child just a couple of months earlier is also ok.

Old wounds.

KB (Kurtley Beale) won’t be going to the RWC anyway. This makes sure of it. Even if they are just allegation, his history is chequered.

If he isn't charged it should have no impact on his possible selection.

But based on the news article it looks like he will be so, yeah, his race is probably run.
