Caleb Clarke

@taniwharugby Not sure how it is in NZ but in Australia there are non conviction options or good behaviour non conviction basically meaning it does not impact your criminal record like a conviction sentence would.

Yeah says as much in article "Defence lawyer Rowan Butler entered the pleas on his behalf before community magistrate Kaye Davies. He asked that a plea not be immediately entered so he can request a discharge without conviction on behalf of his client."

Come to think of it I have had a few discharges without conviction in my time

One man's "evading police" is another man's "looking for an available safe space to pull over as quickly as possible"

[Machpants]

I'd imagine a brain fart worrying about being pulled over, and reacting thinking he would get away with it. Dumb as, but people have the right, flight, freeze reaction. He took the wrong one

hope he didn't try to run away.good chance he would have tripped

Caleb Clarke might be unavailable in Super Rugby Fantasy but he's a hell of a character in GTA Auckland.

Yeah. Dumb choice, will get off lightly and learn his lesson

[george33]

@canefan definitely, he's a good young man, made wrong decision.

NZ has changed, friggen nanny state. There was a time when we wanted our wingers to be as elusive as possible.

If he had more gas he might have gotten away

Then he wasn't trying.

I'd imagine there was a time back in the day when simply being an AB was enough to get you off this kind of thing. Sign a couple of autographs and back on your bike.

[Bones]

Pretty ironic he doesn't want to be in fantasy due to it being a distraction to his rugby.

TBF, we went pretty nanny state in the early 2000s with the other Caleb and then again in the late 2010s/early 2020s with Bridge.

The judge, in his sentencing, noted the All Blacks' lack of a power winger who is also good in the air counted in his favor.

I heard Ted gave a character witness, “he’s a good Christian”
