FAde to Black, The NRL is not charge of border protection. I don't think they could have attempted to interfere in MP leaving the country without copping a lot of flak.

Actually I'm with FTB on this one

One phone call asking him to supply a hair sample before he left wouldn't have been a big thing
Its not as if the Roosters wouldn't have known he was leaving and if they did and didn't inform the NRL I believe they have a heap of questions to answer in light of what came out
Plus remember his father is on the board of ARLC , could of sent a message via him

I own a Collie and I am offended by your comment, my dog is a pure bred unlike Mitch's [This word has been automatically removed].

It was obvious that the collie had better taste than Mitch

I never mentioned that the NRL should stop him from leaving the country but a thorough investigation into this whole drama needs to include a hair or blood test to verify his innocence or guilt re: the use of illegal substances.

I think if we find out there has been collusion between the Roosters or his Dad to prevent the natural progression of the law in this the Roosters should be punished heavily

I think it was already stated that the police were not investigating because there were not any complaints made to them. This could have been before the mention of lineys came out. The deal to get Mitch out also could have already been arranged before lineys were mentioned and so got out urgently whilst the going was good. Opportunism maybe but any collusion not necessarily but who knows.

The NRL are the ones that need to be investigating it, not the police.
Find out the truth and if he is caught using illegal substances come down on him like they did on Field and McGuiness.

As Field and McGuiness were WT players I see where you are coming from

According to the NSW Police, it is not investigating the matter. So what "natural profession of the law" are you referring to?
Why is it necessary to drag his family into this matter? No doubt they have been hurt the most in all of this and Wayne Pearce would be feeling this keenly. There are many who hold Wayne Pearce in high regard so please refrain from dragging his name into this very sorry story.
Wayne Pearce is a legend.
His son is a scrub.

For many young people what Mitch does is unfortunately very common these days. We have a beer culture and grog was not advertised when I was a youngster so the whole psychology has changed. Drugs are everywhere as well. Mitch is more or less going with the flow esp with the Eastern Suburbs mob. Now they have those grog and drug breathalysers and professionals will be caught out, get a record and lose maybe their jobs - I am not in favour of such harsh punishment. With tradies it is not so harsh.
I call BS on that BBF. My old man told me stories about what young blokes got up to when he was in him prime and it would seem that things for the most part haven't changed.
Aside from the coward punches and more prolific use of drugs in lieu of, or in conjunction with, alcohol it doesn't seem that much different at all. Everything is more widely reported now and information (statistics on assaults etc,) is more readily available.

I agree. When I was in my late teens people only just started getting mobile phones and email addresses, and you definitely could not record or transmit photos/video wirelessly, so most stuff was just hearsay. But the hearsay about footballers in the 90s - every bit as arrogant and reckless as anything now. Possibly even worse, because the code was less strict and less public on policing. E.g. they didn't have an integrity unit, many clubs didn't have media managers etc.

I go a bit soft on footballer behaviour when no one is really hurt because we choose them because they are rough and tough so sort of what do we expect. They put their bodies on the line in a gladiatorial game so I cut them a little slack. As I have stated it is a grog culture so we should not be shocked when things get a bit messy.

Does the NRL have any right to demand a hair or blood sample, especially outside of the established performance enhancing drug testing regime? It's not a law-enforcement agency. It could ask for a sample, Pearce could say "no, that's a gross invasion of privacy" and carry on with his life.
True 2041, but the police could if they really wanted to, couldn't they?

I'm not sure TT, it was a legitimate question on my part.
Don't think the police will run over to the US to ask him to submit a sample for a drug test anyway.
