Pearce apparently pulled a Joel Monaghan

[Big Poppa Pump]

He's gone. There is no way the Club will allow him to represent them again. He'll be sacked tomorrow for sure, perhaps as early as tonight.

[chopstiks]

Wow, just wow.

I'm not sure if I wanna see the footage.

Dare I say it but in the long run this may be a blessing. 2016 will be tough though. But if Nikorima is the superstar that everyone in the know expects then we could have a gun halves pairing by 2017.

What a crucial signing that turned out to be. Oh to go back in time and keep Maloney instead of Pearce.

embarrassing footage, the guy video'ing knows he's onto a winner and Pearce clearly hasn't got a clue what's going on. I expected A LOT worse though, i've gotta say.

[Team Evil]

I have never said a bad thing about Pearce and I am of the opinion that players should be able to have a drink and some fun.
I have seen the video and my opinion has changed.
I didn't see him urinate on anything, his pants were on the entire time, he picks up a little dog and pretends to have sex with it "big ****ing deal" He kissed a girl, she didn't seem to be pissed off by his advance but she did push him away.
The problem is:
this is not his first offence
he is way to intoxicated
he is our club captain
he has not matured and taken his role as captain seriously
If he was serious about his career and wanting to improve then this is not how you go about it
how can you expect to be an elite athlete and get this smashed


I think the club will release him and in my opinion that would be reasonable.

Its not the 80s or 90s players have to realise that everyone has a camera and will use it.

It is going to be a difficult year.

I am sick of off field drama!

Who are the other blokes in the clip?

boozed up slurring waffling tossers, a wally with a phone attached to his palm, a hipster and a princess with a wine glass directing traffic

[Cockadoodledoo]

I was very disappointed that the footage was not nearly as bad as the hysteria this website has given it.

I bet you are just jealous of the dog.

[Cockadoodledoo]

Stripped of the captaincy, massive fine and suspend him for a month.

Suspend him for the month of February lol..

[chopstiks]

But Massoud said he hadn't seen the clip. He is a wannabe Weidler. That's how bad he is going trying to be as good as the worst out there.

I can't see the club sacking Pearce. A big fine, suspension (from the NRL integrity unit) and loss of captaincy.

Massoud is a hype merchant... ... "can't repeat what the video contained".. Simulating sex?

[Ray Stehr]

Pearce has to go he is an embarrassment to the club, anyone who thinks what he did is acceptable behavior have no idea.

[Bmw06i]

For the people who are saying the video wasn't that bad. You think it's ok to kiss a girl without her consent and with her saying no. ??

[elo]

Who are the other blokes in the clip?

Dale Copley is clearly in there, he looks pretty stunned at what is happening.

[Bowzy]

Copley was sitting on the couch in the video, good to see he's straight into it..

[Bigchook]

I haven't had a night like that in a few weeks.

After watching the clip I don't think he'll be sacked. I can see a 6 month suspension or even a season in England but I don't think he will be sacked. Particularly as Carney is looking likely to being successful in his lawsuit for wrongful dismissal. The club will want to be very mindful how it approaches this. Who knows though, maybe the club didn't see him as a long term player and will use this as an excuse to move him on.

[milanja]

Will pearce be allowed to play in the (ca)nines?

[Ray Stehr]

Copley was the only other player I recognized.

[Bigchook]

fried, as in done ?

Fried as in drug and alcohol ****ed. Jennings was another. And there's at least another one or two in the team.
