Not what I expected him to say. This is an opportunity for the club to make some real change in this area. They can't do that if they walk away from harsh realities of life.
Yeh me too
I was surprised
He makes some reasonable points in there, especially about the involvement of alcohol and gambling in the game, both of which generate a lot of harm in the community, but he also misses a key point when implying JAC hasn't done anything bad. Imagine driving your car past a primary school at 3pm doing 200km/h, but you don't kill anyone, so it's no biggy. This is where we are with JAC, he hasn't harmed anyone, but it's well established that driving while impaired significantly affects your ability to drive safely. If he keeps getting in a car like this, he's sooner or later the next Ezra Mam, or worse, he kills someone.
But the charge is not driving while impaired. Its driving with illicit subtance in saliva. That illicit substance could have been taken 2-3 days prior.
Im not necessarily supporting JAC just supplying a bit of info.
To be fair, some of that is speculation. I'm not claiming you are wrong, you may well be right, but it's also possible he took it 1 hour before getting in the car.
Very true. There is a lot of speculation. Was it positive with the secondary test back at the station? If so he would have been suspended for 24hrs. The lab test is what counts and if a roadside saliva test is positive then usually the lab test is positive. He is then charged.
As usual you guys have lost sight of the issue.....the judicial system judges him on these matters.
What the NRL and the club do is the only issue......Fitzsimmons hates Rugby League, what ever he writes, just remember the inbuilt bias.
We haven't lost sight of anything, we're just having a conversation thanks.
Can't i join in?
"Imagine driving your car past a primary school at 3pm doing 200km/h, but you don't kill anyone,"
I don't understand the conversation, so you don't need to thank me.
You don't understand the conversation, yet you say "As usual you guys have lost sight of the issue". Make your mind up...
