    I've seen the clip and it's hardly an allegation, could be out of the country for a while after that!

    Agree. He seems to have lost it! Brutal!

    The clip is like something from a film, he's literally teeing off on people. Seems he can fight as well as play, some of those punches are incredibly powerful. Cameraman wouldn't win any awards, needs to get closer or a better phone.

    I won't condemn him yet though. You need the context to make sense of this and there is none of that around to go with the video it seems.

    If Asafa-Solomona has remonstrated with the other guy, who has then fronted-up or swung one, then Asafa-Solomona is IMO entitled to go for him.

    To add: from what I can see, the 'integrity unit' lacks integrity and consistency itself, and some personal agendas have come into play.

    Definitely. But he won't. He's got witnesses including the owner of the club saying he and his friends were attacked and that he was defending himself. He's only copped a 3 game ban I believe from the NRL and I've not seen any suggestion of criminal charges being brought against him.

    Also Sam Burgess has an Apprehended Violence Order taken out against him by his soon to be ex wife’s father, read the article does seem to be a lot of fuss about nothing, link to article below:
