<p>At any rate, pissing on someones couch (according to the chick) and pashing them when they don't want to is pretty shit behaviour no matter what the media headline is ... you seemed to have gone too far in the opposite direction from the media. </p>

<p>Firstly, all the other 'lads' were fine, but I'd suggest going by the video that Pearce did cause distress (which was why he was told to leave) and wasn't pretty good to the lady (who he pashed and maybe pissed on her couch).</p>

Anyway its not a league season until someone drinks their own piss, shits in a hallway, gropes someones underage daugher(a few years back Craig Gower had a go at Pearce younger sister)or interferes with Benji and i dont mean Marshall.<br><br>

<p>Still haven't seen the video, but after reading about it, it seems he actually hasn't actually done anything wrong - apart from being a drunk fuckwit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No, it's not a good look simulating sex with any animal, but it's not against the law. Yes, I understand the club and NRL will have some integrity clause in theirs contracts.... but still a bit harsh on the bloke if he loses his job over it. I've seen far far worse drunken antics than that over the years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He'll want to find some better mates too. Bit of a dog act :rofl: , firstly recording your mate doing that, then giving/selling it to media.</p>
My first reaction was a little closer to Siam's. If it was a private party in his own home then I would cut him some slack. But it wasn't. He was a guest in someone's home and acted like a farking pig. He's the captain of one of Sydney's top clubs ffs. <br><br>
I was amazed when I heard he was Junior's son. The teetotal fitness freak. I remember when as NSW coach he took the players horse riding instead of the usual pissup. 2 players fell off and missed the game due to injury. Maybe Bitch has overcompensated.
<p>Who's to say it was a mate that made the recording? It could have been someone that, like the woman that asked him to leave, also wanted him to fuck off.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bottom line is if you are a high profile sports star you then you just cannot hit the piss and act like a fuckwit. You may have gotten away with it 20 years ago before smart phones etc. But not anymore.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TBH I don't think that is much of a sacrifice given how fucking lucky you are to be getting paid a shit ton of money to play sport that most of us blokes <strong>pay</strong> to play in our weekends...</p>

The Nrl like to take the high road and call it bringing the game into disrepute, considering they were thinking about letting Shaun Metcalf play again it appears they only draw the line when simulated sex with animals is involved .
<p>Sounded like it was recorded by a friend of the host/s. At the end it he (I think) was telling the blonde girl to sit down. While another girl was asking one of the guys to stay. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not quite as feral as I first thought. But he acted like a fluffybunny and unfortunately for him it was recorded and shared. Karma? I'd be fucked off if a stranger at my party gave me some unwanted loving, pissed on my couch and humped my dog. And if a mate I was with was acting like that he'd get the message pronto.</p>

<p>I get that young men will do silly shit while on the lash, but I don't accept that taking your shirt off, trying to kiss your host, pissing on her couch and dry humping her dog is "normal" behaviour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How would you react if Richie McCaw acted like that? I can tell you how sponsors and fans would react. You know, the people who pay their (very high) wages. Complain as much as you like, but those high wages and that very public profile come with certain expectations about how they conduct themselves. That's the trade-off. Shit if someone was paying me 750k a year on condition that I didn't get wasted on the turps, I'd happily drink farking juice for the rest of my career.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do however agree that all this talk about him being kicked out of the NRL is ridiculous. He's been utterly humiliated, stripped of his captaincy and I'm sure will cop a hefty fine. That's more than enough.</p>
<p>Its more than some of the players have received for actual crimes like domestic abuse and such.</p>
<p>If you're a NSW fan you want Mitchy banned for life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My prediction is he will sign with a Super League club like Catalans in the coming weeks while he is suspended by the NRL for 2-3 months.</p>

<p>Is this appreciably worse than Mils urinating in a bar or Howlett jumping on top of cars? That is without getting into the value judgements of whether that "display" is worse than drinking twice over the limit or domestic assault.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The dog element obviously takes it to Todd Carney level-weird - but I don't think Pearce is an isolated case. I bet at least 30% of NRL/NPC/Cricketers players are thinking about now "thank god a camera wasn't there for that time..."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remember when Tana got videoed back in the late 90s giving lip to some well wishers in Christchurch? In this media environment that becomes a much bigger deal.</p>
