What a week!
What a week. It’s been fairly dour these past few days, with discussions about Australia’s lowering employment rate, wild weather and even the sporting arena has been filled with controversy and speculation.
Many of us are hanging out for the tax stimulus payments to pay of various bills or buy that new washing machine, although some still seem unsure whether they qualify. Unemployment is up to 5.2% and there is huge debate over whether the government is doing a good enough job.
In the north of Australia, residents of Queensland were in the grip of Cyclone Hamish, wondering whether it would reach shore. Although in the end it weakened, it caused a fair amount of concern about how bad it could really get.
Considering the league hasn’t even started yet, it’s been a pretty big week in the world of NRL. There was plenty of controversy and fervent discussion over Brett Stewart’s suspension and whether he deserved it.
Dean W is on the compassionate side:
I feel for this guy in this case. I have been that pissed before. You wake up and ask the question “what happened last night?” Not being able to remember what happened is the worst feeling ever. This is still no excuse for his actions. In that kind of drunken state you are capable of anything and for that reason alone I believe he is guilty of TRYING to rape the girl. For the record 17 is legal. Not morally ethical but legal non the less.
Whereas Michelle J doesn’t think there should be any excuses.
Yes he should definitely be suspended until these issues are sorted out by the courts. These guy’s need to learn to account for their behaviour both on and off the field.
Well after this week, it’s probably time for some R&R! What’s your favourite way of relaxing to forget about your troubles?

best way to relax is a few pints of st austell tribute beer
these players who loose control of their minds due to excess alcohol intake should all be graded , the same way as they are graded according to their sporting abilities , a way to do this is to test each one and see how much they can actually drink before they go on dipped headlights and make fools of them selves , then they would recieve a “pot rating ” and this would be entered on to a credit card type system , and when they have a drink it is recorded , when they reach the limit on the card they are “off tap ” ……. and any one who over supplies drink to these idiots can be prosecuted ,
Being a female I feel for you Brett I believe you have been set up by a low act as you were in a week state and someone cashing in on your behalf, I believe that you would not do something like this as it is not in your nature and you would not ruin your life for what you have given and what you give to the game…
Go the Sharkies xoxo
Don’t you mean “dire” not dour?
