I have looked up the dictionary and there is no actual definition of media savant. However there is a company claiming to be one. It helps communicate their client's message to a target audience. I suppose that could fit if you think I am just a further conduit of Australia's media...

My very point Gagger. The other side of the story has been presented by the ARU initially and then all has gone very silent. It has been admirable with no public evidence available how voluminous the commentary of the "other side" has been able to build a case for Beale's guilt and just how...

I always thought he would be lucky to be able to play at the Tahs on what they could manage to pay. With the outcome of the hearing he can now also play for the Wallabies and receive match payments too. Hard to imagine a top up contract under any circumstances but given the size of the hole...

BTW you misrepresent the article. It does not vindicate his actions. The point was he felt that the outcome vindicated his position that some of the things he had been publicly accused of were not true. He fully takes responsibility for his original text.

Thanks Gagger. Let's visit the definition of naivety and foolishness once all of the horses have finished running. In the meantime you should have a deeper think about what has been reported by the news outlets over the last three weeks. They are either all full of shit or there is one...

Wouldn't that depend on whether the second text was sent before or after the plane incident?

Indeed TWAS things do not happen in a vacuum. No one has defended Beale's actions in respect of either the text or his priors. In fact not even Beale has. I object to the fact that a simplistic tale of one bad apple in a superbly functional workplace hangs one person unfairly out to dry and...

Muglair? A favourite term of my grandfather's. Now that you have raised the subject I have searched for a definition: flashily dressed young man of brash and vulgar behaviour Unfortunately I have never in my life been accused of being flashily dressed. I would have to admit to have been on...

RUPA is a union and 100% of the employees are members

This is like Cluedo or one of those poorly plotted cop shows. There is the accused found guilty of one charge and who has "got off". We have the bad cop/dumb cop who is sure of his guilt and continues to pursue him. There are those who think they know where the whole investigation is heading...

I think it would be better to presume it was deliberately chosen. If I was technically au fait with whatever feeds are I would add the Courier Mail. Instead I will go and look each day this week for the next instalment. Eventually the penny will drop ....

Paradox, I think the point is that two texts are on Patston's phone but the Tribunal only found that Beale sent one. This is not some technicality about being unable to prove Beale guilty, the second text DID NOT come from Beale's phone. So where did it come from? As noted above someone...

ARU cannot dismiss him on the spot because of the Code of Conduct negotiated with RUPA. No doubt they were very frustrated by that a couple of weeks ago but are probably ordering Greg Harris a case of Australia's finest sparkling as I write.

IS that is only because you are open minded and mostly read stuff before you comment. Largely the article further confirms a chain of events which has steadily become clearer (to some of us anyway). It is the first time I have actually seen mention that a position has been taken that the second...

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/kurtley-beale-insists-he-has-been-vindicated-following-aru-text-scandal/story-e6freon6-1227102288122 This morning's article from Rebecca Wilson. Probably won't be read by anyone who feels what she has to say runs counter to their beliefs. For those...

Hey that would also be a good name for this thread

That is a great idea Gnostic. Di should go to the police and show them the texts on her phone. That should clear everything up. Will be terribly interested on what laws may have been broken with the transmission of the second text.

Who pays for the legals is another thing I bet we never find out. KB (Kurtley Beale) and his team are not going to pour fuel on the fire by coming out and saying anything. The ARU certainly won't be saying anything. There probably will be a confidential settlement anyway. All speculation of course but just...

So now it looks like $45,000 plus six match payments. Not small change for a guy on a regular contract. This matter should be closed now unless the ARU announce something new or the phone Bill Pulver is allegedly demanding be returned turns up. Just read Rebecca Wilson's article of 10 October...

By the sounds of it I would say that pretty much all of the evidence can be extracted forensically from a phone.
