Kokomos is great until about 8PM. Trendy club that does really good food, becomes a nightclub later on the attracts an older crowd than Moose etc, but not a good crowd seemingly.
Re: Canberra Raiders' Curtis Scott allegedly involved in nightclub fight
You mean like that murder that happened there not long ago? The one all over the news?
Re: Canberra Raiders' Curtis Scott allegedly involved in nightclub fight
Said murder happened after 8PM

Maybe banning the raiders boys is a great thing, they obviously don't want the publicity and we don't want the boys making new friends...

Re: Canberra Raiders' Curtis Scott allegedly involved in nightclub fight
It actually looks fairly fresh and clean the times I’ve walked past but it probably serves that new fangled craft beer stuff so not my thing. Give me tap VB, Carlton or Tooheys at RSL prices thanks. Also I’m guessing “compared to Mooseheads, better or worse” is a trick question? That freaky bar in Star Wars was still better than Mooseheads.....cat wrote: ↑June 7, 2021, 9:49 pmAs an older female not living in Canberra, is kokomo a dodgy place?Billy Walker wrote: ↑June 7, 2021, 7:28 pm Can we go back to the reports of Kokomo’s placing an unofficial ban on Raiders players.

Re: Canberra Raiders' Curtis Scott allegedly involved in nightclub fight
The discussion on 100% Footy... made the point that the Raiders and NRL are perplexed why this wasn’t reported to them for a week. Webster says NRL won’t be drawn on penalties etc as there is no police complaint.
Re: Canberra Raiders' Curtis Scott allegedly involved in nightclub fight
Potentially a second get out of jail free card for Curtis. Maybe the fan base needs to get vocal if they want to get rid of him, otherwise it's a fine and one or two game suspension. Maybe a piss weak public apology thrown in.

Pretty sure I can assist with the question about why this wasn’t reported for a week - Curtis thought he was in the clear until security camera footage showed up and he realised he needed to reluctantly fess up.

Re: Canberra Raiders' Curtis Scott allegedly involved in nightclub fight
A bikie was stabbed to death/stabbed someone else to death there not long ago. Friend of mine is an AFP detective, does not hold the joint in high regard. It had begun to be a known hangout of some members and associates. A few Raiders too. If you drew a link there that is entirely of your own doing.cat wrote: ↑June 7, 2021, 9:49 pmAs an older female not living in Canberra, is kokomo a dodgy place?Billy Walker wrote: ↑June 7, 2021, 7:28 pm Can we go back to the reports of Kokomo’s placing an unofficial ban on Raiders players.

As a punter it's not a total dive bar or anything, its trying to be classyish. I think the latter is more behind the Raiders ban. After someone gets murdered in your bar you either start trying to remove the meathead elements (large, intimidating angry bloke like footy players and bikies can be) or prepare to hand back your liquor licence if serious trouble ever happens again.

I wonder if the club found out before Curtis told them and it was the club who asked him if there was anything he needed to tell them?Green Blogger wrote: ↑June 7, 2021, 12:19 pm When this news broke I assumed the incident happened this weekend over the bye weekend, but it was last week. Does that mean the club was not informed until the video came to light? All reporting would indicate the Integrity Unit has only just been informed this weekend. If that is the case, that will be an added nail in the case for termination. Ricky does not take well to players who are not up front in informing the club of incidents.

Re: Canberra Raiders' Curtis Scott allegedly involved in nightclub fight
Yeah, I totally agree. I'm just saying that even if it was provoked and people say the club should be supporting the player, the club will always be able to say that Scott should have informed them of the incident. It just adds weight to whatever decision the club makes and I'm entirely certain the club will make a point of this.The Nickman wrote: ↑June 8, 2021, 10:03 amThey were going to either way IMO.

In my view, the club does a fantastic job of supporting and backing it's players. On the back of the Williams situation this is a PR nightmare for our management. They will make it very clear that Curtis Scott is entirely at fault here and has not handled the situation well.
The circumstances matter with regards to the way our management handles the communication of their decision.

I 100% agree with your analysis about what the club should do but I’m not so certain we won’t be seeing Curtis run out in green later this year.

Steve Irwin was a reserve grade player who was offered the opportunity to continue his career with the Raiders via Souths Logan in the QLD competition, after he completed rehab on his busted knee. The club was supporting him through that rehab at the time he was involved in the Todd Carney car accident and cover up. He chose not to take the club up on their offer, and was subsequently released.
Look it up if you like.
He subsequently claimed that the club told him to lie to police as a cover for Todd Carney. This claim was found to be a complete lie, per Irwin's own manager as well as Carney's manager.
Terrible example.

So Hodgson and Papa have leapt to the defence of Scott.
Along with Williams and Tapine is this the “no buy in” crew?
If so, kind of concerning when 4 of your best players are the ones not buying in.

In fairness a lot of players have been defending Scott the last two seasons. Tackling seems hard for the poor lad.
