Player Roger Tuivasa-Sheck

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Fails to catch a bomb and gets subbed.

Good to know we have Pompey waiting in the wings!

 

[MXRecord]

Damn, he got done for drink driving.

its ok, he was an international rugby star at the time

 

[Billyspleen75]

Pretty much nothing in it once you read the circumstances. Silly decision still

 

[Kestrel84]

In typical RTS fashion, he seems to have handled it in a pretty respectable manner.

To be honest I'm surprised more people don't get caught in similar fashion the following day. I used to drop my car off and a friends place as it was closer to town. We'd head out from there. The next day he'd drive back to my place and we'd head off.

I may have had a few more hours sleep but would often wonder if you'd blow over the limit even though you are feeling fine.

I've heard of some people getting done the following day. That is usually being told third hand so the person telling the story might not have the full details or the person who did it might have said it was the following day to make themselves look better.

He only had 4 hours sleep so not a lot of time to sleep it off and was driving while at a time the police would still be out catching the last lot of people heading home.

Sure it's not a great headline. But he's owned up to it which is the main thing.

What does it mean he was convicted though. Does that mean he can't travel overseas anymore?

 

[Aman 2.0]

That is so random.

 

[Manu's Mistake]

He is now referred to as "rugby league superstar".What happend to All black!

 

[Dippa]

Not a great start for such an anticipated return to Rugby League. Still, nothing like Reece Walsh and the cocaine saga so hopefully can quickly sweep this under the rug and get on with it.

Warriors will likely have a word more as a reminder of standards the direction of the club and what actions are not acceptable.

Disqualified from driving for 6 months. Wonder who will be picking him up for training etc. They better be on time

couldn't he apply for a work license or something?

He'll be fine travelling. Canada probably wouldn't let him in, but everywhere else should be OK.

Australia issues a visa on arrival to NZ passport holders. It would mean that he has to declare it each time he enters Australia, and they assess his character for the visa.

Australia doesn't allow people that have been incarcerated, but otherwise he's all good

It would be f*cken annoying for them, turning up at the end of training to pick him up and in true RTS form, he's doing extras...!

He's Joesph Parker's neighbour isn't he? He'd be up early to go to the gym, surely could catch a lift with him to Manix and catch the train from there hahaha

 

[Bruce]

Enough with the 'jungle ball' and all its connotations already!

That is history, it was good while it lasted, but it doesn't work that well.

 

[Cces]

When Adesanya got done & let off without conviction it stated he had "87 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 50 milligrams". With RTS the report said he "blew 453 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath". Why the difference in tests & measurements? I thought a blood test was needed after a breath test?
Is the level of intoxication similar between Israel & RTS?

I just assumed he will be jogging there from Meadowbank for a warm up.

 

[sup42]

He was barely over the limit so I have nothing negative to say other than he will be more careful in future which is a good thing.

Puts a strain on the relationship when you cannot drive and a bit on oneself.
