the story gets better Cordner and Pearce got banned from Clovelly Hotel last night

[Guest]

Bondi boy out it to rest mate. Your life must be shit if every little thing goes wrong has the potential to be life ending or whatever. If Pearce has actually done wrong when it's proven later today then fire away. But right now you sound like a 90 year old retirement village window peeper.

In or out?

Storm meet teacup.

Unless more evidence is bought to light I wouldn't be standing down Pearce at all. Fine him for stupidity yes, but that's it.

Yes, he shouldn't have argued with the police and given them the opportunity to handcuff him. But when you've had a few drinks and believe you're perhaps being treated unfairly, these things happen.

At 1.30 am in the morning, it would not take much to 'distress' a young female, who I suspect would have also had a few drinks under her belt. And if she was so upset, you would have thought she would have made her way to the cop shop by now.

An over-reaction by the club is the last thing we need. Until anything else is proven, punish him based on the facts, which at the moment have him having a pretty harmless run in with the cops after having a few too many.

While they are accountable for their own actions, the question needs to be asked, if they were so drunk as to be kicked out of a pub only a little earlier in the night, why were they even let into this club and served alcohol?

KS I thought the same thing

I will call you soon and let you know what I have been told

We're talking about '2014 NSW Sydney' Nanny states to end all nanny states. It dosen't take much to be thrown out of pubs these days. Just being drunk these days is front page news.

the nsw lib govt stuffed up pub laws big time?

I chose to remain silent until the facts come in and reserve judgment. I have heard rumours and will leave them as rumours for the time being.

I am angry for the (real and perceived) damage to the club, team, supporters and sponsors.

But a question needs to be asked by the club. If a group of players are at the Clovelly and are ejected, why did the group allow Pearse to go out? Did they know he was heading to the Cross or did Pearse tell them he was heading home? This should be a question the club finds the answer to ASAP as this talks culture and supporting your team mates.

pearced again.

has he broken up with his girl

Well said NC.

[bondi-boy]

yes, it would be good if the players were smarter enough to realize the consequences of their actions. But their actions ( those involved) are obviously not smart enough or they would not go over the line. The sad part is they don't seem to respect the position they are in with the club, their other team mates and perhaps the limited opportunities that come along to win a premiership with a gun roster including the presence of SBW for a second premiership tilt.

And to think Pearce and Cordner are part of the leadership group. Boy have they let everyone down bigtime !!

The 'leadership group' also let down Smith and Anasta that time.
Smith and Anasta had the same trouble with drinking all the time players, and drunk players.

Players plastered on Sat night can't front up for training on Mon morn in top shape.
Players drinking alcohol all the time are not the best athletes they can be.
Cordner on the 'turps'? bad idea, and could explain his form against the Eels etc.

Can't see us winning the comp now, with all this going on and with what's been revealed.

The fans will not be happy with what has been discovered.

You are such a drama queen. There used to be a cartoon called Gulliver's Travels when I was a kid and there was a character on it who was the ultimate pessimist...he was called Glum. That's your new moniker as far as I am concerned.

This could be the wake up call the club needs. Hopefully SBW and Mini tear these guys a new one and we move on with renewed focus

Nah...got it about right, finally...after some changes.
Apparently the new laws are working well.

Hmmm...I left out...'unless things change'.

Here you go, i'll fix it for you.

Hopefully things will change.
You too should be glum, to find out many of the players are back on the drink to excess.

I'll be demanding change...and bet I won't be alone.
