Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2721184, member: 1899"] Oh boy, Mitchell, what have you gotten yourself into... With any luck, this will be THE most embarrassing moment of Mitchell Pearce's life. Clearly he had one too many, got far too caught up in the situation and this incident is going to hinder his career dramatically. Given his past history, he should be stood down by the Roosters and will serve a suspension from the NRL. The minimum should be 10 weeks, maximum one year but he'll have to face something over this. I also have to take aim at the media. While Pearce's behaviour was absolutely deplorable, the way Channel 7 and 9 framed their story was incredibly over-blown. While sex crimes are considered especially heinous, I dislike the moral panic that follows the situation as it prevents us from finding a suitable way to deal with these sorts of issues. Hopefully this is the extent of it, as I would hate it if the media engaged in another witch hunt where they chase any story so they can further their own ambitions. Now is probably not the time, but what the hell - I don't like the Roosters chances in 2016. It appears as if the writing is on the wall and it will take a minor miracle for them to make the 8. This will be the biggest challenge in Robinson's career, and I'll be very interested to see what he does with his young charges. [/QUOTE]
