At absolutely no point in that post, or even this thread has ANYONE said falsely accusations of rape is OK.

It is exceedingly rare for a legitimate accusation to achieve a conviction, due to the nature of these cases. It is rarer still that a false accusation achieve a conviction.

Does it happen? Yes.
Is that ok? No.

False accusations are estimated to be about 5%. Approximately 10% of sexual assault cases result in a conviction. So that means across 1000 accusations of sexual assault:

- Approximately 950 of them are legitimate accusations
- Approximately 50 of them are false accusations
- Of those 950 legitimate victims of sexual assault, 95 will see their perpetrator convicted, leaving 850 perpetrators unconvicted and unpunished.
- Of those 50 falsely accused of sexual assault, 45 of them will not be convicted, leaving 5 people falsely convicted and wrongly punished.

That's some quick, dirty maths for you, but also undoubtedly the worst case scenario. Proving a legitimate rape case is very difficult, so logically proving one that isn't legitimate is going to be substantially harder, given the evidence is not likely to support the prosecution, which logically means the conviction rate in false accusations is almost certainly nothing near as high as 10%. So that number of falsely convicted is in all likelihood much closer to 1, not 5.

So now we have some quick and dirty figures... you're honestly going to sit here and tell me that the an issue that has short term impacts for 50 falsely accused people, and has long term impacts for at worst 5 of them and likely much less... that issue should command as much attention and is as bad an issue for society as the one that has long term impacts for 950 people who have made legitimate accusations?

Because if that is what you're trying to argue, then apologies for my language but you're, and I can not stress this enough, a **** idiot.

What i've said and explained is that from a societal POV, that 10,000 feet level of what issues really need to be focused on and addressed, the two are simply not comparable in any way shape or form for any reasonable, rational human being.

Jarryd Hayne found guilty of sexual assault

Former footballer Jarryd Hayne has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman at her Newcastle home.

Hayne, 33, faced trial in the NSW District Court on two counts of aggravated sexual intercourse without consent, recklessly inflicting actual bodily harm, after he assaulted the 26-year-old woman with his hands and mouth and left her bleeding from the genitals in September 2018.

Or maybe “Haynee Detainee”.

I'm quite sure Hayne's attitude during the trial did not help his case. He came off incredibly arrogant and entitled.

I'm glad for the victim's sake that she's got some form of justice, though I hope she has a strong support team around her for the inevitable appeal.

In the meantime, it would seem he's going to jail - it remains to be seen for how long but it is never long enough.

You could slot Paul Hayward into the halves. He played halfback for the Jets in the 70s and got busted for drug smuggling in Thailand, trying to import heroin into Australia.

ARLC gives approval in principle for 18th player

The Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) today met and gave approval in principle for NRL clubs to activate an 18th player when three players from a team have failed HIA Tests. The rule will commence from Round 5 of the NRL Telstra Premiership season.

The Commission agreed the 18th player must be an emerging player. Before introducing the new measure, the ARLC will consult with the RLPA, Clubs and coaches. Included in the consultation will be the definition of an emerging player. Further, amendments may be made to the measure after such consultation.

The NRL will meet the travel costs of the 18th player.

ARLC Chairman Peter V’landys AM said the Commission had listened to players and clubs.

“This is a dynamic environment. As a Commission we have always said we would be agile in changing rules when it is in the best interests of the game and this is one of those examples,’’ he said.

“We see this as an opportunity to give an emerging player a taste of first grade rugby league in their team’s time of need. The 18th player will also have to be rotated weekly so you don’t have a young player missing out on playing lower grades every week.”

“All fans agree we don’t want to see a situation where a club is left with one player on the bench and this rule change will provide insurance for all clubs. It will also only be activated in the most dire of circumstances for a club, so we don’t see it having a material impact on games every week.”

This is more poor decision making by the ARLC. First, it is reactionary and rushed. Second, it does nothing to address the problems of player welfare that we saw on the weekend. The hurdle of three HIAs is so high, that it is a rule that will virtually never been used. There's only been one club that has had three HIAs in a match since the start of last year. Third, an "emerging player" has no place making what is likely his NRL debut in such a game and such an environment. In addition, what's the point of paying for an 18th man to be transported etc etc to games... when there is virtually no hope of that player, playing. And stopping them from playing footy?

I don’t understand why they just don’t introduce a mandatory stand down period like they use in NSW cup. If your player fails the HIA you are welcome to use an 18th man but the injured player must sit out for 10 days ( it is 14 in NSW cup).

If the 18th man was going to make that much of a difference they would be in the 17 in the first place.

Yup at some point in the very near future mandatory stand downs are going to happen, if you suffer a concussion you're going to miss games. Just bring it in now and let that player be replaced mid game

Yeah that would be insane to move Teddy... just play Manu at 5/8th, he can handle that role, and Suaalii just comes straight in to replace him
Gives Manu and Sam Walker a good crutch to play too as well
