          • Jesh mate, im just hoping there's an 0.01% chance the second blood test comes back negative.  Not just because he's an eel, but because he's always been a passionate player and has a young family also. 

            I know id never do it now , i rarely have more than one drink nowadays at the most two,  but in my late 20s, id always say i would never drink more than a couple before driving,  but after 4 or 5, you think you're invincible.    That's maybe what has happened to Josh.

            • Don't be sorry for him because he has a young family. He should have thought of that. There are plenty of other ways he can earn an income. He doesn't have to earn it only from an NRL career. If I had done what he has done (multiple times), I'm getting sacked. Me having a young family to support would not be considered at all.

              • Yes mate he has to face the consequences.  He has a privileged position in the game and earns 10 x more than the average person.  Its about time these players respect it

                 

              • My employers most certainly sacking me after one offence and there's not even a question about it. There's no suggestion of my work being responsible for my rehab or expectation they keep me on the books for 12 weeks whilst I do my punishment , no moving to England to take an even more luctive role for less work  , and no 10 grand a week in my pocket whilst we await the lab tests .  

                HR will just punt you for not having a license  , and if you're willing to take it on, you may get a unfair dismissal pay out if you can find a decent legal rep due to it being outside work hours , in which they're more than happy to pay to get rid of you. But either way I can assure you , any driving offence of this nature , you're toast. Seen it happen many times . Even losimg licence  for phone offences will get you chopped. In the real world , we have consequences. 

          • I'm pretty sure England requires at least 3 ...

      • Good point Seraph.......

  • They will have to sack him for sure. The problem is there no one available for 2027 & we have fuck all outside backs coming thru the grades.

    Rocco berry is available or Jerel Skelton there isn't much more then that, 

    We have Bloomfield coming thru, or Alameddine but both are probably not ready just yet. Also have Vaileiti but he's more of a centre 

    id probably sign Skelton for one year or try and get Sloan to change he's mind 

    • They will unfortunately have to sack him. If he were a shit player nobody would care less.  We need him and like me , I think people were happy the season was done and we could default to our happy place of thinking next seasons a new season and just maybe we could spend the next few months being semi positive like we had some kind of hope . Now this just reverts us back to default mode haha . 

      • Haha yeah that's right
