It takes 1 hour for 1 standard unit of alcohol to process through your liver. If he had 5 beers (stubbies) that's roughly 10 standard alcohol units.
Your liver just can't do it quicker, thats the science of it.
If he waited another hour or two he'd still have alcohol in his system but probably be under the limit in a blood test.
Sleeping it off is a misnomer unless you sleep enough hours for how many alcohol units you've had.

Haha 1 stubby 2 standard drinks... yup
 
Some guys are better league players than union … this includes RTS.
From what I saw last night, saw the last 15 mins or so , he will be all good in his come back. His attack is back as was his leadership. There was a turnover but that won’t be a problem in NRL.
I wonder when he leaves RU and starts back at The Warriors??

Looking forward to 2024, with RTS back in the side, as per previous post, have been watching NPC just to see how RTS doing skills wise and I think he still has it, he even has a pretty good kicking game from the back (couldn't believe it when I saw it!!), his attacking runs on point, tackling still got it, however one of his problems I saw he had early on in his career was his inability to use the ball to beat a man i.e. put a man into a hole, he relied too much on his ability to beat a man solely on his speed and step, I liked shane cooper ability to put a man into a hole, to drag in the defense creating the overlap, I suppose its also about reading the play unfolding and putting the ball where supporting runner should be, either you have it or don't. all good tho, he will bring so much to the table.

Inside the meeting that led to NRL star Roger Tuivasa-Sheck quitting rugby and returning to the Warriors | Daily Telegraph​

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck was shown video clips of Roosters star Joey Manu during the secret meeting that convinced him to quit rugby union and return to the NRL.
Rated the world’s best player in 2019, Tuivasa-Sheck has revealed his comeback with the Warriors will include learning to play centre for the first time in his career.

The 30-year-old, who has spent the past two years playing rugby union with the Auckland Blues and included 12 Test caps with the All Blacks, has signed a three-year deal with the Warriors from 2024.

In his most expansive interview to date, Tuivasa-Sheck told Monty Betham’s Once A Warrior podcast that he initially didn’t want to go to a meeting with Warriors head coach Andrew Webster last December.

“I was looking at a Japan deal, actually,’’ the 2018 Dally M medal winner said.

“I was looking to take the family overseas and travel the world.

“But in December my manager called and said would I like to sit down with Andrew McFadden (Warriors head of recruitment), Andrew Webster and Cameron George (Warriors CEO).

“I was like, ‘Oh, not really’.

“I didn’t know if that’s where I wanted to go. But out of respect, because I love all those guys, I said, ‘Okay, let’s catch up’.

“Webby had a presentation ready for me – I thought it was just going to be a catch-up.

“He played a presentation of me possibly coming back and where I could fit into this team.’’

Tuivasa-Sheck has only ever played fullback, wing and five-eighth across his 195 NRL appearances.

He revealed how Webster used video as his pitch to sell the prospect of transitioning into a centre next season.

“When I had that conversation with Webby, he saw me playing in the centre role,’’ Tuivasa-Sheck said.

“He said that he believes this is the position where I can come and add value.

“He had clips of Joey Manu and myself.

“And he was saying Joey was one of those centres that can go and roam, or scoot from dummy-half, or be on the inside support of Teddy (James Tedesco), so that’s the type of role he saw me playing.

“It’s being able to roam as well, and pop up in positions that can add another number.

“It’s been getting me excited and so that’s what I’ve been locked onto.

“I’m looking forward to going into pre-season as a centre and seeing how we go.’’

Tuivasa-Sheck explained his overriding motivation to return to the Warriors, after quitting the club in 2021.

“I definitely have unfinished business, that’s how I see it,’’ Tuivasa-Sheck said.

“I look back and say that I was trying my guts off. I was trying to perform each and every year.

“But I look back and say, ‘It’s not about me now’.

“It’s about how can this club win now?

“That’s my mindset going back and I’m grateful I got three years at it.

“That’s what I’m looking forward to. I’m going to make sure I bring it all, second time round, it’s an opportunity I’m not going to miss.’’
 
I think draw and pass is something he can do which he showed as an extra man link from fullback like what CNK does so well.

He has a zillion strengths and has awesome value. My concerns and they are not severe are his age and top speed. I worry he'll get burned by youngsters.

Other than that I could write a book on the upside of having a premiership winning actual Dally M club captain that's still in playing condition who also appears to have off field values character and behaviours well balanced too. Welcome back Captain (I know he's not captain but I love this bloke and what he's done for this jersey).
