Got it now, thanks.

So a year's old video of Kurtly sitting on a lounge.

Over to you Raelene.

 

[Slim 293]

Apparently 4-5 years old, so at the height of peak dickhead-era Kurtley Beale............

Probably a good thing it didn't surface back then, on top of everything else.

I never understood the impulse to film your own drug use, sex, etc.

What possible good could come from that? Surely you don't whack off to your home made films later on?

 

[barbarian]

Not just film it, but then share it with your footy mates on a group chat. Who gladly receive said videos.

Who are these people?

Chaps who left school at 16 or so and have never had to work at a proper job all their lives.

Role models for the next generation

Role models for the next generation

I reckon the NRL has thoroughly dispensed with the idea that footy players are any kind of role model.

Role models for the next generation

Well they are, get paid to play footy, screw chicks and do some drugs is the goal for many young men

So how's it going for you so far?

Never got paid for "a" but worked hard on "b" & "c" for many years - it was a lot of fun

Fairfax is now saying it was recorded in 2016, so it's actually peak good form upon return from UK era Beale.........

"Kurtley acknowledges that his presence in the video and the humour he expressed at the incident at the time does not reflect the image that is expected of a professional rugby player."

It's like expecting a cat to bark.

 

[Rebels3]

Video didn't show him doing it, nothing nasty was said, there wasn't any malice from those involved. So basically who cares.

Most people i know have found themselves in a room with drugs before, more often than not without knowing it was going to be there. You just sit back, let people do their thing have a bit of a chat and then if you're uncomfortable with the situation within an hour or so, you leave without causing a fuss.

My guess would be that 95% of professional athletes would of been in a similar situation.

 

[Slim 293]

In this case all that was expected was an apology by Beale, it was given, nothing really more needs to be said or done............

Just hope that someone this common sense watching from the Reds.

completely different.

Being in the same room as drugs aint he same as failing a couple of tests or being caught in possession.

 

[The Honey Badger]

completely different.

or being caught in possession.

No, not actually correct. Caught in vicinity maybe.

 

[RugbyReg]

No, not actually correct. Caught in vicinity maybe.

“The next day a group of players had lunch at a restaurant in the Gold Coast hinterland, where Hunt said he used cocaine in the toilets.”

I stand corrected. But that's still not possession.
