Bashing women again and not the first time either. Even pregnant women are fair game for NRL players. Disgraceful. A culture to despise.

MAD Monday turned in to terrible Tuesday for Wests Tigers halfback Robert Lui who was arrested overnight.
A member of the public phoned in to Triple M's Grill Team to break the news this morning, which has since been confirmed.
The Grill Team reported on its Twitter feed that Lui was charged following allegations of a domestic assault at Strathfield.
A police media release concerning the assault said it involved a 21-year-old Strathfield man and his female partner.
"It is alleged the woman was assaulted by a 21-year-old man who also resides at the premises,'' the release said.
"Police ... found a woman suffering swelling to her face.
"The man was arrested at the scene and taken to Burwood Police Station where he was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
"The man was given bail and will appear in Burwood Local Court on October 7."
It's not the first time Lui has been in strife - he was charged with assaulting his pregnant partner at the end of the 2010 season.
The charges were later dismissed and Lui reunited with his partner.
The Wests Tigers are expected to make comment later in the day, their season ended on Friday night at the hands of the Warriors.
