A bad off-season for ex-Roosters - Fergo arrested

[King Salvo]

Thanks for that.

What's not fair is that Japan allows that alleged seedy and dirty district to exist, then has 5 yr hard labour prison sentences for any poor victim trapped in its clutches.

To Quote you a lot of countries have such seedy and dirty districts - It doesn't mean you have to go there though - One has a choice - He made bad choices.

Yes other players have been given suspended jail sentences and deported when the prosecution wanted a 20 month or so custodial sentences and maybe he might be dealt with the same way time will tell.

It could well be different this time though since they stopped the comp for several weeks to investigate drug use so he may well be made an example of?

And if they weren’t Roosters supporters?

They would have been kicked out long ago, before they wasted a few years at Uni.

fergo, fergo, fergo ...

oh well, he won't be doing more than 5 years

fergo, fergo, fergo ...

Put it another way...

The club's now in a position where it's having to deeply apologise for its part in this (no education/monitoring...etc), all the Australian staff could be sacked as a result and the club could have to withdraw from the top-level comp.

It's seriously bad news IMO. As much as I blame Fergo, I think there's some valid points here. Who helped him score drugs over there, why was he fighting with somebody in public and why wasn't it ingrained into his mind that such things are gonna be treated very seriously when in a foreign land.

People will have their opinions but I actually lean towards parts of Japan's stance on this kinda rubbish. I mean hypothetical but what if the NRL clubs had some sorta punishment when their players were busted fighting and/or using drugs? For example with the Drizz' sniffy sniffy issue why weren't coach/CEO/management liable for the game's bad publicity?

Yes, if you never want to see your children again.
NO if you care about the welfare of the babies you cherished when you brought them home from hospital.
Uni is too hard for some people to bear.
Maybe 6 years of high school plus whatever time at uni was too much.
I'd be telling them that they're much loved, that their room in this home is theirs forever, that I can provide them with free room and free food...things go on as normal.
I would then inform them, in a casual manner, that:
"We have to pay the mortgage off on this home as quickly as possible, the next pandemic could be just around the corner, and if I lose my job we'll be all out on the street and at the soup kitchen.
The bank will take the house, we'll be living on welfare, probably all living in an old van with no warm blankets and no hope.
So, excesses in this family are being cut, starting on Australia Day 2022.
We have to pay extra on the mortgage.
I'm really worried might happen to us if we don't.".

Sometimes you have to draw a line, well maybe not you, bit I do. I have a 40 year old daughter. She is intelligent and attractive, but her life started to go downhill when she got a job on the check out at age 15, against my wishes. She had alwayd been good at school, but ended up just scraping through grade 12. She couldn't get into UNI so decided to go to TAFE, to do Business management. That lasted less than 12 months, so back to the checkout full time at age 18.
Over the years i have provided her with free accomodation, I bought an investment house for her to live in, I have bought her cars, which she has written off, I have gotten her jobs, given her many thousands of dollars, plus furniture, most recently when she gave up a good job in Sydney to move back to Brisbane because an ex boyfriend of hers told her he loved her.
This assshole is 41, divorced, 2 teenage boys, owns nothing, has no job, booked twice in the last 12 months for drunk or drugged driving. He is an alcoholic, no hoper dole bludger, so he was living in a van in his parents backyard, until my daughter came back, rented a house, paid the bond and the rent and I gave her a fridge, washing machine and lounge suite. This was back in April.
She came to see me for her birthday in July, and said, she would come once a week, because she needed to get out of the house she shares with the assshole and his kids, but I haven't seen her since.
I got a TEXT message for fathers day, that's it.
So you can treat your kids anyway you want, but anything they get for nothing they will value at exactly that NOTHING, all they are doing is waiting for you to die, so they can sell your house.

That's a terrible thing for parents to go thru.
Deadbeat blokes, always seem to have intelligent and attractive women in tow.
Must have hidden talents.
I wouldn't blame the checkout, they teach customer service, cash handling, socialising in the workforce etc.
Not everyone is able to do business management.
My non kicking out idea was limited to only room and free food.
No free cars, no free houses, no free phones.
Very difficult for parents to know what to do, especially these days.

The problem wasn't the checkout, she always got on well with people, and was a good worker, it was the money, and she ended up doing 5 shifts a week at age 15, too immature to know people were using her etc. Hanging out with boys who ended up as concretors laborers, no brains. The schoolwork went out the window. She met this guy she's with now when she was 18 and he was 19, he was a cool looking athletic guy, surfer, played guitar and saxaphone, the COOL dude, but as dumb as dog shiit and not good enough at anything to really make it. I met him back then, he wanted to be a PRO surfer, make his own records etc, thought he was going to be a star, and so did my daughter. But he didn't have the talent or the dedication to make it at anything. I got him a job as a laborer back then..... he lasted 2 days. Anyway, it's a fuucking shame, and who knows where it ends.

You being an anti vaxxer, maybe she's figured out not to listen to you when you give her advice about things.

You steaming tuurd. I'd like to meet you in person. I'm talking about my daughter here , and my life, you assshole. You feel the need to stick your dopey head in. I'd love to smash it.

Don't be a dickhead. Such loose (and likely false) stereotyping is a useless contribution here.

Good for you bro. When you're someone like you who has no consideration for his community and is mad enough to take the selfish, brainless position you have, that's what you get. Because of that, at times when you likely do have good advice like what you said re your daughter, things you say will to some extent be ignored. No offence.
