Statement from Joel Monaghan
Joel Monaghan has issued a statement through his manager Jim Banaghan today expressing both remorse and disgust at an alcohol fuelled prank that led to images being circulated across social networks today.
“Joel can't blame anyone but himself for an act of stupidity that will haunt him for the rest of his life,” Manager Jim Banaghan said today.
“Joel wants to make it clear that he was the one playing a prank on an absent team mate by simulating the act.
“There are no words of explanation that can be offered because none can be appropriate.
“Joel has to now face his family as well as fans and supporters with that shame and has already undergone counselling to help him cope with the consequences of what has happened.
“It was a moment of abject stupidity brought about by too much drink and a complete lack of any thought process.
“The fact that someone has sought to compound the situation further by the use of social media only adds to the trauma but Joel accepts that it is his actions alone that are at fault.
“He apologises unreservedly for the outrage that people feel at the moment and blames nobody but himself.
“He will meet the club over the issue and accepts that there must be ramifications but the fact is he is not in a fit emotional state to have those discussions at the moment.
“Joel is a genuinely good person who is simply shattered by a moment of sheer madness.”
he's admitted it:
13 men, one dog
when the other guys told to give that dog a bone, they were thinking differently
Joel thought the dog liked sausages
joels girlfriend is a real dog
When the ARL gave them lessons on not abusing women, they didn't have this in mind
the raiders really fucked the doggies
when a mungo, after most likely years of lessons on not getting in a scandal, gets a picture of himself taken with his penis in a dogs mouth, i don't care if he can defend himself or not.
The statement made makes no sense, the fact that the guys around him didn't stop him doing it means they're part of it.
The bit that annoys me is the wy the media keeps saying he simulated a sex act with the dog. Once his dick was in the dogs mouth, all simulation was gone, thats bona fide bestiality for mine.
