The ole Integrity Unit

[Parkway_Drive]

2016 was a write off anyway.
Pearce's punishment was excessive for sure but the fact was he learnt from it and has become a better person and player for it.

The NRL may have inadvertently set up the Roosters for long term success because of it.

I'm not a drinker but the fact both Proctor and Bromwich say they were so drunk they don't remember the incident smells like crap to me.

Is that even a thing?

While common knowledge would say yes, not in my opinion. I always remember what what I've done while drunk and have never used being drunk as an excuse for forgetting something, or being a f*ckwit.

If anything, I'm quite respectful while drunk. I'll make sure I put away my junk and clean up any mess that I make. IMO while drunk we are still ourselves and exercise control/judgment over our actions (which we'll memorise). Just... small things seem amazing and everything's in slo-motion.

Biggest load of turd ever spoken by Bromwich the other day, so drunk to not remember doing coke, but sober enough to get back to your hotel?

People would have a lot more respect if he just said, yep did what I did, stupid thing to do, won't do it again.

sounds like somebody was having a certain easily obtainable prescription medicine with the booze if he was blacking out

The media seems to have brought it. Apart from Crash Craddock on The Back Page last night. He said what we all seem to think.

Canterbury 2002 were dealt with the exact same way they lost their points accrued after about 20 rounds Melbournes punishment was not unprecedented Both were deserved

canterbury were not forbidden to accrue points from the remaining games they finished the season with 8 points no idea how you think that was the same as melbourne in 2010

Yeah, reflecting on JT's question, I guess it's different for every individual.
I"ve been through years of being a very heavy drinker, and have actually experienced what I'd call a blackout on two occasions.
But the missing events have been mundane , commonplace trivial type of stuff.

My best guess is Bromwich is telling porkies.
His "memory lapse" seems very convenient.

I'm going to say this again. The dog incident isn't why Pearce got hit hard by the NRL, he took young players, including Jayden Nikorima out with him on that drunken exercise. He also lost the captaincy because of that.

Nobody except the R.S.P.C.A. cared that he dry humped a dog.

[Guest]

nobody at the nrl gave a fark he was out with nikorima it was purely because massoud said it was the worst incident ever and was on every media outlet in the country if you believe its because he took nikorima out you are kidding yourself

[rented tracksuit]

No one knows who, how, when, where or why. It's passed and he's back playing awesome footy for the Roosters. Time to look forward.

Exactly right bawgie.

You went off on an awful lot of dog rants for someone who didn't care Johnny.

[Guest]

the funniest thing from the video was coggy didn't even know what nikorima looked like but was talking him up as the saviour

I couldn't agree more.

He was given 8 weeks and a 125k fine because he took Niko and Copley on a bender with him? Give me a break!

I'm nothing if not a hypocrite, my fellow poster.
