What is going through NRL players minds? : Wed Mar 11, 2009 4:02 pm  

From the bbc website about Manly

"Full-back Brett Stewart, the two-try hero of their 28-20 win over Leeds, has been arrested for an alleged sexual assault.

Second row Anthony Watmough, who was man of the match, is alleged to have punched a sponsor at the club's season launch"

It seems a lot of young stars are getting arrested down there not for petty stuff either, I know we have a few, but nowhere near as many as the NRL. Would any superleague club be brave enough to sign them if they are released? I hope not and I doubt they would get clearence for anyone other than Catalans anyway.

They are undoubted talents, but hardly promoting the "family game" are they?

Sign the talent, bollox to the family game image. I am sure our players past N present have not allways been angels all the time.

Brett Stewart has now been charged with sexual assault on a 17 year old girl.

If he is guilty, bang goes his Super League pension top up in 5 years.

well I'd be dubious about this one tbh at least until the full details come out. Aussie Rugby players have alot higher profile than ours , a bit like our Football players and I think they do suffer from people looking to make cheap headlines and some easy cash from compo
