Cocaine Scandal

[Mister Wright]

The people I feel most for in this situation are the player's families. They are (presumably) innocent in all this. Despite what we may think of them as men or players, Bird is recently married, Taylor has a young family, not to mention immediate relatives that will be affected as well.

Bird was asking for a release.

Probably only so he can start his own drug syndicate in NSW with his mates in Sydney. Or join the one that is already there.

What about Neil Henry. Poor fella.

Their supporters are also the victims. They deserve better than this.

Their supporters are also the victims.

As in their team or for them finding another drug supplier. :laugh:

What about Neil Henry. Poor fella.

When he told the team he wanted them to have white line fever, he wasn't expecting story to happen.

 

[Splinter]

Next charge to be a massive name according to a few on Twitter.

Worrying

 

[vertigo]

Maybe if they keep saying it, it will come true.

Biggie Smalls, Biggie Smalls, Biggie Smalls.

With so many Titans players being done, clearly these weren't performance enhancing drugs.

Clearly or he would have forgot the Bucks night and taken them on his wedding night

At Southport Magistrates Court.

The only surprising thing is that this hasn't been swept under the rug. Anyone who's ever been out with NRL players around can definitely add a few names to the coke users list.

What's the diff between being arrested and being charged to appear in court?

Actual arrests are pretty uncommon nowadays. They only really get used for warrants, offenders who are violent towards police and serious crimes. Police don't want the hassle and responsibility of having an offender in custody if it's not necessary. I'm assuming Falloon, Dowling, Hunt and company were issued with notices to appear, which is a form of charging someone that doesn't necessitate an arrest for co-operative suspects. The most likely scenario here is that the players were asked to go to the station to be interviewed and were charged straight after and allowed to go home. No cuffs, no watch house, no aggravation.

I hope this is the end of Bird in the NRL.

The bloke should have been kicked out of the game a long time ago.

He also has one of the most punchable faces on the planet.
