Palu stood down over incident

December 06, 2007 AUSTRALIA forward Wycliff Palu has been stood down from New South Wales training after an alleged nightclub incident three weeks ago.

Palu faces a NSW Rugby Union disciplinary judiciary hearing on Monday after he was present at a serious assault in Lansvale in Sydney's west on November 17 which is under police investigation.

"We activated our protocols as soon as we became aware of the incident and while there is no allegation of foul play on Wycliff's part, he was present at the venue and is part of an investigation by the Police and NSW Rugby,'' NSWRU chief executive Jim L'Estrange said.

"NSW Rugby views this as serious incident as a patron was injured during the alleged altercation.''

Palu has played 17 Tests for Australia and featured prominently in Australia's failed Rugby World Cup campaign this year.

Does this mean he's thinking of joining the Force and was just getting in some pre season training?

[frontrow]

There were no animals involved fulvio, so nsw don't reckon it is important until three weeks after the event...Wonder if there were any drunk irish tourists who witnessed the events, or a lone west aussie...

I pity da fool who picks Cliffy for a biff in a club. Possibly the worst, and shortest, mistake anyone could make.

Is there a substance abuse problem you know of at the Tahs Chook?

Wendell, Dunning, Lote now Palu...lucky none were high profile senior players..........

[Burgs]

I think it warrants a probe...

Thats how good the Tahs are, all the players are high profile cos they all rock yo socks off.

Yeah that Wendell was VERY HIGH profile!

Sure mate, but how about the substance abuse problem, does it exist or is it just alleged??

Not to mention the Palu incident took place in Lansvale, was it at a panel shop or caravan park

[chook]

Nah, it was a dry cleaners with a knock shop behind it. Cliffy was just minding his own business, which is a second hand car dealership across the road.

No mention was made of the quick game of 'coffee drinker croquet' that Cliffy and other Tahs players had with some local infestation of sidewalk espresso quaffer's that infest Sydney at this time. Although they are a protected species we could do with a lot less of them.

So that's why the mongrels at SMH were so keen to report on the Force incidents......to divert attention from their own local issues.

yeah! ,a royal commision in to cliffys behaviour or even worse trial by media....

uh.....you took the words out of my mouth.

Interesting that Cliffy's 'incident' happened before Rotto, but was reported after, when the shit storm died down!

[Em-Forcer]

Yeah - over east is like Dr Evil's empire, battling Austin Powers over west. Never mind, we lost our mojo briefly but we'll get it back...
Now, if only we had a spandex-ed superhero to leap into the fray... hmmm... anyone?

[Burgs]

Hazzaa!!!!
