Pearce video taped doing a Monaghan

Your Name wrote:People have changed. As the pay packets have increased the expectations on these guys have too. Right or wrong.

Have the people providing the pay packet put in the measures equivalent to meet this ? My company is responsible to provide me the tools, training and experience to do my job. Are the clubs doing this ?

An argument for the negative could be mounted based on the number of players who hit the headline for all the wrong reasons. Because if you include role model as part of the job description then they definitely fall short.

The players are expendable, do the minimum to cover any legal requirements and the players are treated as less than assets like you and I. Because assets can return a tax break through depreciation.

I will hark back to one of the biggest miscarriage of justices in my book:

Young gun goes away on a trial game
Shit goes down he wasn't involved in
Kid has to attend interrogation
Kid is cleared
Club tells kid don't get yourself involved in this kind of behavior
Kid gets selected for origin
Kid bangs a hooker to celebrate
Media report him coming out of a brothel
Kid gets dropped from origin

Who fucked up ? The kid, the club or the media ?

Who was this?
I can't see anything wrong with any of that except the media for reporting a non story, I've also said plenty of times that I think the NRL should licence journalists who report on the game.
Saying that the Pearce thing is a different story though, he's been educated about what not to do and should have known better especially if the club was handing out cabcharge vouchers to get home after the cruise. If that's not a hint I don't know what is.

If she was a vegan as well - you showed admirable restraint.

She was upset with me for having a joint after she came and sat next to me who were smoking. She was quite hot but every word out of her mouth warranted a punch.

It's the parents job to raise these kids properly, I remember O'Neil pissed at the casino table, my parents told me he was in the wrong and not to do that. It's not like kids are going to sudden go around kissing lesbians and humping dogs.

Yeah, odds on she was a Vegan as well.  Although normally that would have been the first thing she would have said.  They can't NOT tell you before anything else.

I've got a heap of vegan friends and majority of the time they're tolerable. A few of them have had health issues and had to go back to meat which was delightful. Shopping with one of them is a pain in the ass, I'm the type of guy to have a trolley packed inside 5 minutes. I know what I want and what I need. They stop and read every ingredient on the back, it's enough to drive a man insane.
