Pascoe sanctioned by the NRL

[Lauren]

The club has mounted what they believe is an unbeatable defence & have complete confidence we will get our CEO back !
But if the result don't work in our favour then legal action will follow.

Thanks POM

Lol rather not say but I'll start a random internet post anyway..ha ha

If it is one of our players snorting coc, then let the NRL rub them out, the players need to be more responsible. If not our player, good, still rub them out, they deserve it

That is in my opinion way too harsh. It's a victim less crime especially for young kids earning big dollars. I have no interest in snorting anything and I'd prefer not to know if footy players do it.

Maradona did it and he was one of the greatest ever soccer players.

See this is the problem with young people today, they take drugs with scant regard for their health, and the do gooders try blame the dealer, the concert promoters, the system, they blame everything or everyone bar the person who took the drugs.
These young people need to take ownership of their actions, and not rely on someone else to clean up the mess, or make excuses for them.

Could say the same for the obese, alcoholics, smokers etc…

It's McDonald's fault I'm the size of a house and have completely avoidable heart disease...
It's Tooheys' fault I can't hold down a job and need a liver transplant...
It's Winfield's fault I have a tumour the size of a mandarin on my lung...

Choose your poison and all perfectly legal.

Sounds like Moses to me.

The talk was the bronco's, so who is a star who played not very well last year, Milford or Bird perhaps, I am sure we will find out soon enough

I hope we find out, but Broncos are experts are covering things up. So if it's them, I think we'd only hear about it if they wanted to offload the player.

Have you guys ever noticed that with the dodgy clubs, Roosters, Broncos, they cover up the misdemeanours by their players and only make them public knowledge when they want the player to leave (or after they have left)? Napa at Roosters for example. There's no way it was a coincidence that the videos hit the press only after he left the Roosters.

At a press conference last year with the Broncos, Bennett said he was impressed with Roberts. He had a come a long way, getting clean from drinking and drugs. The media guys ears pricked up, 'drugs' did you say, that wasn't made public, do tell. Bennett then did not discuss any further.

BINGO….!!!

But, remember what Brisbane will promise in return.
This saves Brisbane a front page tragedy. The Journalist takes a hit, but he gets in the good books with the Broncos.
Suddenly they need to do a fluff piece on Corey Oats, guess what he is available to this anonymous source.

We don't play the game though. We need to manage that access better. Gordon Tallis should have copped it from the Tigers and realised that his gossip would jeopardise his own career as well as Robbie's.
... Play the game.... minimise finals wrecking news.

Thanks a million POM.

Hope they defend the Club and Pascoe with as much Tiger Spirit as they can muster.

Court if need be - sounds like a great solution.

It sounds like an embarrassment the NRL doesn't need. No doubt Greenburg will be forthcoming with a reference if required.

I agree, it's not just limited to illicit substances or millennials/Gen Z.

I hear plenty of folk approaching fifty who love to blame everyone else for their problems of their own doing.

Yep you are right, I didn't mean it was only millenials, just that with the pill testing in the news they come to mind, there are all ages who are looking for someone to own their problems.
I have 2 kids one who will be 18 in 3 weeks and one who is 20, I have banged on to them their whole lives about taking ownership of their lives, and life choices, they have known from day dot I have zero tolerance to drugs.
I don't mind them partying, but you don't need drugs to party, have a drink fine, they have both turned out ok, the youngest got DUX of year 12 at the local high school last year, with an ATAR of 93.2.
They are hard workers but also like a break from the grind, which is fine and I encourage them to do this, but some of their school friends were doing drugs a long time ago, and they chose to refuse them, which made me quite proud.

Yeah me personally, smoked plenty of weed but pretty much stayed away from synthetic stuff. Just a personal belief that I didn't really want to be taking stuff that wouldnt look out of place under the kitchen sink. Don't begrudge those whom do it but just don't complain when it goes to pot for you.

851 and CB ,Iam approaching 62 yrs of age and never have blamed anyone for what I have indulged in during my life..Beer,wine bourbon and plenty of winfield gold when at my peak,however I have never injected drugs,swallowed pills or gorged on hash cookies for a great night out,without being a hypocrite I have had the odd joint with mates on the rare occasion and that was all I have had..the trouble is these days the younger generation think its cool to pop pills on top of plenty of alcohol before they go out on the town and king hit innocent people or make other peoples night out unenjoyable,I dont say it is all but most think its a groovy thing to do to make other peoples night out a drama…

 

[happy_tiger]

I don't think the other Clubs went cap in hand to the NRL asking for Cap relief for their players claiming they were destabilising figures…only to promise them jobs after footy..

If that is true is was pretty Suss from the outset

 

[Swordy]

From WWOS Mole (LOL)

Journalists are often attacked by fans for exposing the game’s stars for indiscretions off the field.
But reporters sometimes cut players some slack - as was the case recently.

One well-known reporter sent an out-of-Sydney club a photo of one of its elite players snorting a line of cocaine during a big night out.

The journo told the club he would not make the photo public, but just wanted the club to know it had a problem.

The player concerned is one of the game’s brightest young stars but had a well below-par season in 2018.

Sounds like Moses to me.

Think Titans
Think of a player that was only HALF as good as he should have been
There's your answer…..thank me later.

If drugs were legal this wouldn't be a problem. Alcohol is legal and does a huge amount of damage. I fail to see why cocaine is considered bad whereas Alcohol is fine from any perspective at all.

Young people today aren't the problem with drugs either. Drugs have been around for a long long time. I think the legal and social system needs to change.

Yeah that's cool TT. I wasn't saying everyone was like that. Seems to be a shift in society where everyone from all ages and walks of life adopt that view that it is always someone else's fault.

Most people can have a few disco bikkies or a line or two and not upset anyone. It's always a handful that can't handle their piss/drugs that ruin it for everyone else.

One thing I will say: I've never seen anyone smash a joint or a few cones and want to kill someone. Just saying.

If that is true is was pretty Suss from the outset

Is this actually relevant to the NRL's case ? Or is it part of the NRL's PR campaign to smear the Tigers (Pascoe) ?

Apparently we applied for, but were not granted cap relief.

Is there an NRL rule that you can't seek cap relief for a destabilising player if you have offered him, or plan to offer him, a post-retirement position ? If not, then what's the problem ?

The optics may not be great, but so what ?

There is a difference between being a destabilising player and an ambassador several years later. I see no connection

Hope the club does a number on the NRL. I don't even care anymore of we are guilty. Greenberg has proven after giving a reference for a bloke done DUI and speeding with previous court attendances for far more serious issues is not fit to be a fair adjudicator in matters such as these. Inglis drink drives and speeds: gets a reference from the CEO of the NRL. MCK will probably get rubbed out of the game (and if he was the instigator and found to have done wrong absolutely he should be.)

I totally agree CB. I have actually just come back on the forum for the first time since Greenberg’s press conference. I was so angry and upset I was ready to walk away from following the game. I was thinking I’d rather WT go down all guns blazing than cop this crap from the NRL. There should be a campaign to get rid of Greenberg after the mess he’s created. The guy is either incompetent or corrupt.

Well said MM many supporters at most clubs would agree with that.
