Mitchell Pearce: Roosters star returns to Australia after overseas treatment, will 'cop whatever comes' - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

 

[Cult]

There's so many stray dogs here in Thailand. I don't know how he did rehab here with all of that temptation around him.

hats off to Mitchell Pearce and whoever has advised him on how to handle his return to Australia.. getting on the front foot with the media and being apologetic and remorseful is a lesson many other disgraced public figures could do well to learn from.

Doesn't change the need to send a very strong message via an appropriate suspension.

If you're a Telstra mobile post-paid customer, you can get a free NRL season pass at the moment. Just dial #820# on your phone and they'll text you the link to redeem it.

I just redeemed it myself, and it has given me a free NRL pass access until 31-01-17.

If you've already paid for it, it looks like they're offering a refund too, so get on it if you can.

Is this accessible on other platforms than mobile?

Lol Pearce on 360. It's disgusting how the media are now making him out to be the victim. I don't buy his remorse and apologetic bullshit for one minute, dare say the fact he's on more than half a million a year is the real reason behind his 'remorse'.

How many chances does he need ?

Only on "mobile" platforms, which includes laptops.

I don't remember for certain, but I think it works on the laptop screen directly, but won't work if it's plugged into an external monitor. There was some restrictions like that, and even on laptop, when I tried it, the quality was still pretty rubbish, can't even go proper full screen so it was frustrating to watch but better than nothing when you need it. Pretty sure it's unmetered too, so when I'm not at home, it's a good way to watch some games at no cost (except to my eyes).

This.

As Crash said on the back page when the others were all gushing over him, "haven't we aren't this all before with th likes of Carney"

Let's see him put all this this talk into action before we get into the hero talk

 

[tommy]

lol channel 10 news just said Roosters tried to give Pearce a 2 game suspension but the NRL told them to go away and think about it again.

 

[tommy]

how long do you think his suspension should be

I'm not really sure.I guess I don't have an opinion because it has nothing to do with the broncs.What I do know is that people before him have gotten much harsher punishments(think Todd Carney,Blake Ferguson).A precedent has been set.Should Pearce be given preferential treatment because his Dad was a legend and now works for the NRL?

 

[tommy]

no i don't think he should preferential treatment just because his dad,
I would think if he tried to **** a dog and i was the roosters boss, and we paying him very good money, he would abusing the trust of the club,
making him not fit for the club and i would sack him

Yeah I would feel pretty let down if our captain ever did something like that.Fact is he was given a position of responsibility and trust and he didn't give a shit.If anything the fact that he was captain should make the punishment worse than if he wasn't captain.

 

[mitch222]

how long do you think his suspension should be

Considering players have been sacked over stuff like this two weeks isn't gonna cut it
He is a club captain so he should be seen in a much higher regard than a normal NRL player
