Well that had to be expected, it had been a fairly quiet off-season for the NRL up till now.

More than hot water I reckon, more like in red hot lava flow.
The guy has form for poor behaviour, but has been indulged by the league media as the prodigal son since he was a teenager.
You've gotta wonder about the smarts of all those involved in these incidents. Why, oh why, would someone record another fornicating with a dog/bubbling/acting like a complete goose? And then post it on some social media site "for a laugh". It beggars belief.

Was the person who recorded the event a friend or just happened to be there?

No time for Mitchell's actions and antics. I'll be harsh bastard about this, but he should be thinking about getting his English visa organised and pissing off for a few years.
Still, the only way it will stick is through due process, so that could take some time. Don't wan another Carney/Sharks episode again.

I believe the person who filmed it was one of the women in the apartment.
They apparently sold the video to Channel 9 for $20k and the Daily Telegraph for $40k.
Jeez Pearce is a disgrace. There's drunk and then there's rugby league drunk.

She's done well for herself there. I'd do exactly the same if I didn't know him. Could do a lot of things with a cool 60 grand.......

Whilst I don't support tabloid journalism you can't blame someone for taking that sort of money when it's available.
Im glad they protected the identity of the dog though

Someone I know online posted this today. Not sure what it adds to the conversation, but I thought it was funny:
Just a correction but the most recent story I've read suggests it was an unnamed man who filmed the incident. Presumably he wasn't with Pearce and the other loig players and hangers on in the apartment.

It goes without saying that the guy has a serious alcohol problem. For his own good the club should sack him or the NRL should deregister his contract. You have to wonder what guys like him will be like when they finish playing. He's been fawned over by coaches, administrators and the press since he was about 15 and this is the result.

Really? Yes, he's been a serious idiot in the video but I couldn't do that to someone - Publicly embarrass them and damage their career.
I know, I'll collect my medal on Saturday.
It appears they've intentionally filmed this to use it in this manner. Just my opinion but I think they're scum and karma is going to pay them visit.
It's a tough one, and I can see both sides of the argument.
But if I'm sitting at my mates house with friends and Mitch Pearce (who I've never met before) comes lumbering into the room, drunk and shirtless, forcing himself on women and canines, then I think I would be tempted to reach for my phone.
He's ruined my house party after all, and has pissed everyone off.
Now if someone offered me 60 grand for said video, I'd take the money and run. But would I voluntarily shop it around to media outlets? Probably not, actually. With 60 grand on the line, though, can understand if you did.

The sad part is that I wouldn't recognise Pearce to begin with. I guess that comes with watching a maximum of three games of mungo each year. As it is, this episode makes everyone involved look like a gronk - Pearce, the photographer, Channel Nine, and the Terrorgraph.
There is nothing to fear from the cameras if there is no underlying culture of tolerance of dickheadedness.
I have been in many situations where some present have been quite intoxicated, but can't recall anyone present trying to shag a dog, simulated or otherwise. Urine was generally directed towards a suitable receptacle and solid waste ended up in a dunnie, not a team mates shoe or hotel corridor. It beggars belief how the mungos struggle with controlling basic body functions and decency.
Where was his wingman?
