Willie Mason charged for drink driving

[happy_tiger]

read a news article earlier on mason and saw he blew 0.09 and thought that's not TOOO bad considering the limit is 0.05 (illegal yes, but i thought he'd be off his face or something). then i read 'on his way to training'

jeez…..he really shouldn't be drinking, doesn't have that many brain cells to begin with.

It was the following morning ,imagine what he was when he went to bed

The football and non football side should be kept aside but the NRL needs to stand him down for a month to make a statement

yea exactly. initially i thought it was 0.09 on the way home, but 0.09 in the morning is really disrespectful to his club and the NRL as a whole with training the next day. dunno if he should be stood down but a fine is definitely in order from the integrity unit.

James Tamou missed 2 club games and a SOO game

Stuff the fine

damn im tired. i was trying to think what is a punishment between getting fined and getting sacked.

yup, suspension is what i was looking for!

 

[TurnStyle]

(if it is true) good on him at least for actually getting a taxi home and not flat out drink driving on the night. if he hadnt actually been over the next morning then he had done everything right - but he was unfortunately.

im sorry if i dont agree with the masses, but it was not that long ago that the limit was 0.08 and he would only have been deemed to be 0.01 over a few years ago.

maybe i am being too lenient on him because i too remember driving to sunday morning pre season training when i would most likely have blown over due to the night before.

not condoning this whatsoever, just saying that there would have been thousands of people around the country who would have been in the same, if not worse, situation as mason was and there can be no comparison between what he and the likes of packer did.

I remember me and a few others copping it from a some on this forum when I said last year that I wouldn't have Mason at the Tigers. All I got was ''Oh how good is going at the Knights" and "Another stuff up by the Tigers Management who are incompetent because we should have picked him up" or the favourite "He has turned the corner, we should have grabbed him"

**Well, where are the Willie supporters now.**…........

I don't think there is a need to say anything more...

Im one

Youre brilliant….

Not condoning what he's done, but on field stuff and off field are two seperate things

While we dont need attention for off field incidents like these, it doesnt take away from the fact we could have well used his impact he provided for their forwards on field...

...but you knew.

Cmon Ink, You know better than that. On field and off field are not two different things. You're smarter than that. I see all the good stuff you write in the forum.

We needed someone like him on field - definitely. But HIM, definitely not.

Tamou blew 0.197 and was unlicensed. Massive difference there. As far as drink driving, nobody condones it. I think some people are jumping the gun because it's Mason. Sure there will be punishment from both the knights and the law and deservedly so. But the condition in which Mason turns up to training in is between his employer and himself

There might be thousands doing it , but that doesn't make it right

Players know if they break the rules that they will be consequences

Willie isn't a clean skin either , he should receive some punishment in the form of a ban

And I'm sure Willie will put a great act on in the media and take little accountability for his actions

If he was a class act he would stand down until this is sorted in the courts , not the statement he did come out with

I did say I don't condone it whatsoever.
I just don't think this is as serious a deal as a lot of others and shouldn't be put in the same class as packer, lui, bird, et al.

Agree TS

No club has been spared any off field indescretions from players, thankfully weve been pretty clean lately

Mason polarises people, many hate him for their own reasons….he bit of a character imo, and yeah he did wrong but who the hell hasnt?

Hands up those whove never made a mistake....

If this was about a player like Daniel Holdsworth Sam Williams or Jack Wighton etc etc - there wouldnt be threads on forums and fb etc

When you have seen 3 family members die due to drink driving and one seriously injured and affected for the rest of her life any drink driving can have devastating effects when it goes wrong

That's not including friends who have been killed by drunk drivers , best mate who committed suicide because they lost their licence ,job ,girlfriend due to DUI

I'd say if Willie gets a 4 week ban , he got off lightly ,don't you think ??

Or maybe he'd prefer being on vehicular manslaughter charges ??

 

[innsaneink]

Wheres all the moral outrage about Liam Foran?

 

[happy_tiger]

I have moral outrage at all people caught DUI

And that includes myself Ink 8/4/1990 .11

And within 14 months 3 of my family had died at the hands of drink drivers

 

[Newtown]

Current Rugby League players continue to add to their bad reputation for social discipline. Liam Foran is the latest.

You are condoning what he has done if you think that.

I'd rather lose than have a team full of grubs.

It's that simple.

Please there are a few grubs when they are on the sauce at wt as well don't you worry.
