NRL SCANDAL: Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs slammed with 4 million dollar lawsuit (Watch)

📰: bit.ly/4d8AB0S
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have been accused of the “deprivation of liberty” and “unlawful corporal punishment” of one of the club’s most prodigious talents in a landmark $4m lawsuit that alleges the young player was forced to wrestle “30 to 35” teammates as punishment for being late to training.
Lawyers for former Bulldogs rising star Jackson Topine - a one-time schoolboy captain of NSW and Australia - claim the 16-game first-grader was “detained” and subjected to “assault” and “battery” and “humiliation” at the ­orders of the club’s head trainer, Travis Touma.
They claim that Topine, “one of the youngest players” in the squad, suffered “psychiatric injury”, “physical and mental impairment” and that his contract was illegally terminated.
An investigation by The Australian has laid bare the scandal, which has been described as having the potential to be the biggest crisis for Canterbury since the Coffs Harbour gang rape allegations two decades ago.

    Wrestling is part of RL training. He came late so had to do extra training. Hardly unlawful corporal punishment.

    He was barely 10 minutes late for training... “He was made to wrestle everyone and you can imagine how fatigued he got. It was everyone in the top 30 squad apart from the injured guys,” the player said. “After it happened, I thought ‘what the f**k was that?’ It was pretty ordinary. A lot of players didn’t want to do it.” Another player, who is no longer at the club, told The Daily Telegraph he left because of “the environment”. The publication also reported Ciraldo’s recent criticism of his team’s work ethic has angered some players. It’s been a wild week for rookie coach Ciraldo, who doubled down on his methods after being accused by a select few players of working them too hard.... Its not about training them hard its about training them RIGHT!Just ask Ivan Cleary...

    If the allegations are true, then I’m definitely with the player on this. It’s weird how public reception works. We need a crackdown on improving mental health after a massive stabbing incident but when young men report traumatic incidents they’re mocked and called “weak”, “sook” etc. I guess in a league like the NRL that has historically perpetuated toxic masculinity, this is nothing new.
