Don't disagree. I'm not at all saying that coke is bad or good mmmmmmokaaasy , im only coming from a employment obligation angle which I know you are super clued on mate. The club has set the rules, as has the NRL, he broke them twice . Grog is a huge society killer that needs to be managed also and my opinion would be the same if he'd been stung on the piss driving.
Let me put it this way, if MON attended our end of year event and got his cock out , what would our opinion be ?
Pops, I'm going to ignore your gentle chiding of me for use of profanity when you often do likewise.
That said, I completely concur with your proposed dealing with JAC. The Bulldogs had a salary cap issue (as they always do) and used JAC's misdemeanour (because that's what it was) as an excuse to offboard a player who was not justifying the enormous salary that useless Goose Gould signed him.
He's not on anywhere near that money with us and is a required player. So I think your proposal to assist JAC in rehabilitaion works in two ways - one, we keep a required player, two we demonstrate to the league that we're a home for players who need a little TLC.
As a lawyer, I see the consumption of cocaine very regularly. Personally, I've never tried it. I've wanted to, and I can easily afford it, but my wife has told me "absolutely not". I've seen colleagues on it at every single law function I've attended. It's insanely prevalent within mainstream society and up here on the Gold Coast, after dark, it might as well be as available as sugar at your local pancake place so I see no reason for our club to kick an "own goal" and sack a required player for a misdemeanour.
If Ezra Mam can keep his position with the Broncs after his DUI and injury to other drivers, it would be hypocritical of the NRL to deregister him. At least there is a precedent.
If the Eels choose to tear up his contract, thats a different story
Sure Ezra was lucky not to be sacked and given a second chance, but if he ever got busted again he'll be sacked. Also, he was 21 - 22 when the incident happened. Addo-Carr at 31 has way more life experience to understand driving under the influence is not just dumb and dangerous, it would probably cost him his career and his income.
He knows that an English club will pick him up.

Im by no means excusing it. Its pure stupidity what he did.
Yeah he should know better, but dont forget Ezra had the off season Bali incident too. He should have known better as well. Im just saying that there would be a case against a NRL termination if the club decided he is worth defending.
I heard on one of the morning talkback shows this morning that they are awaiting the result of his second test and that the roadside test was positive. Whether it was contact testing or an actual swab test, who knows. No idea how accurate that is, just sharing what I heard.
I would guess if he admits he has a problem and seeks help, he might keep his contract, whereas if he continues to deny it like he did at the Bulldogs, then see ya later

Wiz, the one drug that leads to the incidents you speak of off - by the length of the straight - is alcohol. And that's a legal drug.
