You agree with "Ezra Mam driving under the influence can be directly linked with Reece Walsh painting his fingernails"? Really?

The part where he talks about how Ezra should be made to comprehend just how seriously wrong the thing he did was, and there should be serious repercussions, is correct, but that's pretty uncontroversial I'd say. As is the idea that it's good for NRL players to get a proper taste of the real world outside the footy bubble, as the Storm make sure happens with kids they bring through their system. Didn't exactly stop Munster and Cheese from getting on the nose beers though, so let's maybe not overstate how impactful he Storm work program really is.

The stuff about their attire, "flash haircuts" etc being symptomatic of anything is just Old Man Yells At Cloud shit.

Yep sending young men to go work trades is a sure fire way to ensure they don’t get on the nose beers….

I do agree there is a link yes, because it’s all behaviours linked.

The painted nails, silly outfits, shit haircuts are all about ‘image’, then there’s various stories about their ‘rock n roll’ behaviour - it all adds up to a group of entitled prima Donna’s.

And their performances last year would also suggest it’s image over hard work and substance with too many players at the club.
Famously, no NRL player ever drove under the influence of drugs on a suspended license before Reece Walsh came along with his beautiful nails and fetching jackets… I can’t stare into those bewitching eyes without getting the urge to do some angel dust and get behind the wheel myself!

I'm no fan of Walsh, but the backlash to the painted nails is so f**king dumb. I'd be more worried if he didn't let his daughter paint his nails. Peak toxic masculinity and fragility.

Painting each others nails is great bonding time, and the fact that he's happy to leave the house and be in the spotlight with her handy work on display is a beautiful exhibition of his love for his daughter.

My daughter paints my nails all the time. The buzz she gets when someone notices my nails and she say's "I did that" or "they match mine" is priceless.


If we're gonna start tearing people down for putting "style" above performance, can we please start with every NRLW player that runs out with ribbons in their hair matching their team colours?

I'd be interested to what Latrell believed warrants more time on the sideline

Driving under the influence whilst unlicensed leading to driving on the wrong side of the road and a head on crash

or

Calling someone a bad name.
I'll say this much.

The NRL was all too keen to make a big song-and-dance, putting out a media release, in announcing Latrell's punishment for the photo of him in a hotel.

It's been crickets for Addo-Carr (no announced punishment). Will watch how this one plays out.
