He could pull that money out of his wallet and pay the fine on the spot.

So he's basically not even been punished for snorting coke like he's Tony Montana? Fair enough then, I guess Rugby League players can get away with anything, recreational drugs, performance enhancing drugs, sexual assaulting women, physically assaulting women, stomping on peoples heads.. where does it end?

At least this time it's a Union player. And closer to an ex-AFL player than ex-NRL. But maybe that's why he got off?

It'll be very interesting how the Titans players are treated in comparison. Of course if they plead not guilty and are found guilty they'll cop a a harsher punishment.

Karmichael Hunt fined $30,000, stripped of vice-captaincy and banned six weeks by Queensland Reds and ARU for cocaine scandal
Karmichael Hunt has been given a sporting lifeline and won't be sacked after pleading guilty to four counts of cocaine possession.
Instead, the Australian Rugby Union and the Queensland Rugby Union will add a $30,000 fine to the $2500 fine from Southport Magistrates Court and suspend him for six weeks. He will be eligible for Super Rugby in round eight.
The 28-year-old must also enter a drug treatment and rehab program and will be the subject of a targeted drug testing program.
Hunt has already been stood down for two weeks and that has been factored into the suspension. He will continue to train in a restricted program at Ballymore, away from the team, before returning to Reds sessions from Monday, March 23 ahead of the away match against the Rebels in Melbourne.

Hunt, a father of two young daughters, said he had made a "terrible mistake" and apologised to his family and teammates.

Yea I doubt that's the one Walker lost
I disagree - the message received loud and clear by all and sundry - no one's above the law, you're all on notice. Karmichael's reputation is tarnished forever and some corners question his achievements now. Up to him to redeem himself.
I think a fair result - dumb from K, but I don't think it deserved ending his career (i.e. with a 4 year ban that was talked about), especially when guys like Wicks, Packer and Ferguson, Kirisome Auvua and Robert Lui are floating around for much more heinous offences and Todd Carney gets a 1000 chances.

I am not 100% sure but I think it is because K got done during the off season while Wendell got done during the season?
