you pay morons huge sums of money to play sport you sometimes get morons with no sense of right and wrong.

because they win games there is allways someone fixing (or trying to fix) the screw ups.

rugby, you dont need a brain just the ability to run into a wall head first a few dozen times without passing out.

Can't argue with that, David.

It is a common event these days, some sports persons think that they are entitled to do whatever they want

and assume that their "hero" status, a manager, a club and in some cases the governing body etc etc etc,

will somehow justify it.

How many times in recent years have we heard sob stories by some sports people, of alcohol, substance abuse

or a personal problem in an attempt to excuse or justify their behaviour.

what happens is a kid shows he has talent for some high profile sport, hes removed from his family and taken to the 'big smoke' paid huge sums of money and treated like a god, he can do no wrong (as long as he keeps delivering on the field)

he has no roll models as hes surrounded by people who only care that he is on the field scroring goals.

so is it any wonder when women begin to want to be near him he thinks its no different to anything else in his life, just take it!

I think you are generalising and being a bit rough.

Jarryd Hayne is a bit of a shady customer. He has a civil law case

against him in the US, has been photographed with criminals and

now this charge. But he represents the vast minority of players in the NRL.

Most of the other players look up to and are inspired by people like Johnathan

Thurston, who has done so much for his community and kids that he is loved by

thousands, if not millions.

How about we recognise the good and generous people who play this sport too,

and give the NRL credit for the quality of people they mainly turn out in the sport.

After all, you will seldom read about them in the media because they will only

let you know about the scandals - that is what gets people's attention and gets

them all worked up.

of course not all players end up overpaid jerks and/or criminals.

it just seems that as the pay packets are getting more and more rediculous the cases of players going 'off the rails' seems to be increasing too.

Not a good advertisement for a poster boy of the Hillsong Church.

He has a child with a women he met on instagram he had only known

her for a couple of weeks. I think he needs some s e x education and

a minder to escort him on his nightly trysts.

Poor Jarryd?!?!

What about poor woman he hospitalised?

With attitudes like that it’s no wonder sexual assaults are so underreported.
