Ffs ... if you can’t wheel in an expensive lawyer ,, you’re fucked

Champion role model
He needs help
I have no doubt John Citizen the sentence would have been much harsher.
No Rhodes scholar
This continual war-on-drugs is an utter failure. When are they going to stop punative action on people using drugs, for whatever reason. In an enlightened country, its got to stop.
Well if he still has a contract with South Sydney, it needs no be cancelled he has shown that he is not a fit and proper person to be in a position were he gives guidance and mentoring to junior players. Oh shit what am I talking about, Andrew Johns media, and trainer, Wendell
In court a lot
I'm 77 and I believe I would have been given a costodyal sentence for the same charges. Luckily I don't drink, take drugs, do register my car and have a legal licence. Boring but sensible.
Drugs were issued routinely in Vietnam war to increase awareness and speed reaction times; they are not necessarily detrimental to driving ability. I do not support drugs. We have to remove the profit motive from their promotion.
'Coke Is It'?
He’s not quite right, is he? Spends an awful lot of time in court.
Should prison him for life if he not give up the dealer.
Could be worse. He could have been caught quoting the bible.
Good I could use cocoa as there's corruption of KGB that was Biden that is a killer to know Putin. Ola President as commander you need to take all of the eagle back of coin.
Good to see he didn't try to deny it. He owned the offence and took the steps to fix the problem. It would be good to see the LNP politicians own their mistakes for once.
Fair enough but what’s his view on the current flight ban on India? I think we should get a substantive view across all sporting codes from ex-players.
