The Roosters have strongly hit out at suggestions their players were doing anything untoward after social media pages went into a meltdown on Monday night.
The clip shows the players in a hotel room talking into a live stream as they gave away a host of Roosters gear. There is nothing damaging in the video. The NRL reached out to the Roosters.

“The live stream in question was part of a transparent one-hour interaction with one of our player’s followers on the evening before the club’s round 11 match,” a Roosters statement read. “The players who featured in the stream selected winners for several giveaways of jerseys, boots and caps. The players were fully aware they were being viewed by participants in the live stream.

“The clip reveals no use of illicit substances or any other breach of NRL rules, however some see fit to make that grossly distorted and clearly damaging claim.

“The Sydney Roosters uphold the highest standards of conduct and integrity, both on and off the field. Our players adhere to all NRL policies, including its rigorous drug testing and education programs.

“As a club we remind those on social media that we take the defamatory statements some have made very seriously, and we are conducting a thorough investigation to identify the source(s) of several false accusations. Legal action will be pursued against those found responsible for spreading damaging and unsubstantiated claims.”

What about the cracking up at the guy's dead mother part. Highest standards of integrity.
 
Yeah those Roosters are perfect in every way eh but make the mistake of thinking the rest of us are dim witted. . Bloody hell, that blurb is just pathetic.
Was the same last year when Ponga and another player were caught in a toilet stall. Common sense says what they were doing

Then there is the irony of Kent now using the mental health act to get off his charge… remembering he wrote this in 2021.

View attachment 7310


Some might say he has pulled a 360.

I am trying to give Kent the benefit of the doubt in terms of his mental health, as is only fair for one and all.

But a decent Psychiatrist would not give him a pass with the Courts anyway, even if he has issues, well that is how it works in New Zealand, you only get off if you are not guilty by reason of insanity, but compulsory treatment and detainment still comes with that avenue.

Dunno how the Courts in Australia work in terms of a submission by a Psychiatrist.

It seems as though he may be getting steered down this path by his Lawyer, and the request for the delay is so that he can appear while in treatment, rather than the other way around, appear then be directed by the courts to attend the likes of anger management and substance abuse.

It looks better for him if he can say he is in treatment, sought by himself, rather than being told to get treatment.

All that aside, if Australia operates anything like NZ, you still have to go to court and face the consequences, the only mitigating effect of claiming anger and alcohol issues is the possibility of the Judge exercising discretion at sentencing.

In NZ if he had been found guilty of his previous charge, and had received diversion, then this case would be far more serious, he could be looking at jail, fortunately for him he got off the domestic violence charges, however in the court of public opinion, mud sticks, people will always wonder....
