Message: [QUOTE="mick, post: 2199223, member: 1794"] Well said Coxy. No one is pretending that the NRL is trying to solve society's problems, or that the issues in society somehow won't creep into the playing ranks. A certain percentage of blokes aged between 18-30 in the general population have issues on the grog and have been in trouble with the police, so it stands to reason that a similar percentage will have those issues in the NRL. But the fact of the matter remains that these guys have more responsibility than the average joe. Like it or not, because of the society we live in, they're basically representing their employer at all times. Now, that's not to say they can't have some beers and enjoy themselves. There are hundreds of NRL players in the country who drink, but who have never created a headline by carrying on like a d*ck when they have a few beers in them. I just still can't understand it. I've been on the drink dozens and dozens and dozens of times with my mates, and have been nicely sloshed many of those, but have still never gotten into a fight, nor kicked out of a pub, nor had any dealings with police. It can be done. [/QUOTE]
