Australian Football Stuff - not worthy of a thread

Davila was booked in both games in question

Article says Davilla was arrested.

 

[sydmariner]

No

So then it’s either mcging,DDS,Uskok or m’mombwa.

Perfect for CH7/9/2.....especially with what could be a great weekend of football

I want an investigation into cards as well. My multi on the last game of the season missed by 1 leg - I took Isais to get a yellow. in the pissing rain with nothing to play for but ruining our night and he somehow managed to avoid a booking. 🤦🏻

Disgraceful

 

[sydmariner]

We don’t need this shit especially at this time of the season.

There is no such thing as bad publicity.
NRL thrives on it.
Beats being a rapist (allegedy)

Baccus and lewis

Has that been reported or is it speculation? The other players arrested were aged 27 and 32 - outside of Davila, 6 of the other 7 players booked in the games in question are aged 27 or 32 according to Wikipedia! (Aside from Baccus and Lewis, they were Kurto, Aspro, De Silva and Snake.)

There also planning to arrest a 4th player who is not currently in NSW - Aspro obviously a candidate for that

f**k, it really is peak Australian sokkah when the 2 smallest market teams sell out their stadiums for semi-finals and a scandal breaks out the day before. The sport in this country has shoot itself in the foot-itis

Of the 4 games under scrutiny, 2 were reffed by Faghani and 2 by Elder. I suspect that might not be coincidence. Everybody knows how to get a yellow from Faghani, I wonder if the players feel they know what pushes Elders buttons.

Davila's yellow in question from Faghani was for dissent. Imagine getting paid $10k to be booked by Faghani, easiest money you'll ever make. You could get it out of the way during the coin toss if you wanted

It's stupidly easy to get a yellow if you want one regardless of who is reffing. Cynical pull back hard enough to make sure they dont play advantage. Ankle tap in the same way. Blatant dissent. Unnecessarily rough challenge with no studs.

Yet again sports betting shows its a blight

If you are just trying to get a one-off card then that is true but if you are trying to get up to 3 cards in a game and doing it on a repeated basis without attracting any unwanted attention (and overlaying the inconsistencies and at times incompetence of A League reffing) then it is handier if you have for some refs with specific idiosyncrasies that you can rely on

Rumoured to be aspro

ABC clip has Davila reading from his bible pregame. Getting his 10 hail Mary's in before doing illegal and immoral activities.

10k a pop for whoever davila paid ain't worth it.
