And the test done at the hospital has to follow a strict procedure with a number of steps the nurse must follow correctly. If one tube is labeled or sealed incorrectly that test is not admissible in court or even able to be tested.
Just like with Hass I believe in giving second chances and sometimes even third chances for non violent offences. I believe that is what these sports are for to be honest. To give boys and men who may have ended up in terrible circumstance a physical outlet, goal in life and a chance to better themself.
To see it all thrown away for a stupid mistake made by a young man with a not yet fully developed brain, isn't right. People have been injured which makes it worse but it wasn't intentional violence.
Sometimes a mistake will make the man. Depending on the punishment from the state, league and club this young man may get the chance to prove himself better than his wrongs. I would not fire him but instead enforce a similar punishment that the Roosters utilized for Friend. Make him get a job, making coffees, send him down Wacol or Boggo once a week to chat to some prisoners for a wake up call.
The last thing I believe you should do is terminate him outright. He either learns nothing because another club collects the dregs for unders or he returns home and spirals. Rugby league has always been about giving those from the lower ends of society a place and opportunity. So I hope he turns it around if given the opportunity.
