Roosters player bashes wife, pulls out knife.

Fark me. It really shits me seeing these guys do this sort of shit. Call me a wowser or a fuddy duddy, but it's impacting my appreciation for the game to be honest. If these imbeciles can't stay off the piss or control themselves from hurting women why should I pay money to watch them?

**** idiots.

I agree. If I don't see an improvement by the end of round 6-7 then I'm not going to watch them. gees, they're payed lots of money to entertain people, not make a fool of themselves in public. The players must take it for granted their pro athletes.

Curious...do they have this problem in the US & UK with their ridiculously high paid Footballers & NFL & NBA & MBL players?

A few NFL players get into strife with the law, especially if they are into the 'gangster' clique. Google Pacman Jones and you'll see what I mean.

I'd love to make a doco by following around some NFL and UK Soccer stars....man the stuff you'd catch them doing would make every NRL, Union and cricket player in the world look like Ned Flanders.

Any examples?

I wouldn't worry about it fenomeno, this is a Hammo classic that he revisits all the time. He can give you little to no proof and when you consider that for example there are far less professional league players than professional footballers and per capita the NRL players get up to more mischief (particularly of late) than professional footballers do.

Has a Rugby League player, anywhere in the world, collapsed on the pitch due to drug abuse? Just curious is all.

Maradonna is a greta role model as well. That's just a scratch sample, if you really want a solid list I have a million, any soccer fan knows the life choices of soccer stars is dubious at best. Don't play ostrich simply becuase you like the sport.

Maradona was an explosive personality just like Johns could do anything on the field but thought they needed drugs off the field to cope with other things. As I stated before you have little evidence to prove that footballers (who get paid enormous sums of money and get far more media attention in their country of origin than NRL players do mind you) are better behave percentage wise when you consider how many bad apples the NRL has had pop up in recent years in their relatively small playing ranks.

LOLZ, ok a million is a little exaggerated. However a soccer supporter such as yourself or FCB BB AKA MB would have to admit that European football stars (esp. Premier League) have their own fair share of off field misbehaving players and are forever in the English headlines.

@ FCB, mate c'mon be realistic! You know that soccer players are in constant trouble, who are you kidding?
