Benji Marshall not guilty of assault occasioning actual bodily harm

[Sydney Knight]

Was at the function and it was a great night for Benji an the charity.

Its a shame that even if Benji wasnt completely in the wrong the non diehard sports fans will just read the headline and make judgement.

They will probably never get to read about the $250K plus that was raised

regardless of who hit who and for what reason wtf are players doing out in teh Rocks at 3.20am? 1. It's pre season and they should be tucked up in bed too knackered to go out after a training flogging 2. Trouble is sure to be around being out at that time 3. why risk bad press when during the week you have taken on the mantle of the NRL's MR good guy. I know most footy players are not exactly bright but geez so many of them seem to be frickin dumb as pig sh**

Coffee at 3 AM :crazy:

Impossible is it?

What was I thinking?

Not impossible. But who in their right mind feels like a coffee at 3:20 AM?

Having a coffee at 3 AM makes about as much sense as going to the pub and having a schooner at 9 AM.

You'd think well before 3 AM. How many functions last past 11pm really?

Yeah it's geniused to think that it's just a bit weird for someone to decide to go out and have a coffee at 3 AM... :crazy:

most

Maybe 11pm is a bit early. But they certainly don't run till 3am. Official functions would wrap up by 1am at the very latest unless it's run by a very dodgy company.

everyone except Eels Dude who is staying up late to remind everyone about how evil it is to have a late night coffee

They would certainly drink an Irish Coffee or two.

Nah, the following comment wins that title by so far it's not funny. Actually it's f**king hilarious :lol:

if the scumbags at the DT continue to pay ferals then the ferals will continue to abuse and attack players

:lol:

 

[adamkungl]

who gives a f**k if they're pissing up at 3am ffs, they're young australian blokes. what do you expect? hypocritical wankers

when I was 24 if someone had said to me " mate you can earn $400k+ a year but for that you have to not drink and not be out after midnight" I would have bitten their arm off. They can drink and fight as much as they like once they reach 32. Until then they are responsible for the image of the game, if they want to drink and stay out till 3am there are plenty of brickie jobs out there.

 

[Eels Dude]

indeed

It is if you're a professional footballer who feels the need for caffeine at 3am

you've done a study on this?

Obviously not. But due to licencing laws, the staffing and other costs involved, the time it takes to clean up, and trying to cater to attendees regular 'going home' patterns just about all functions wrap up at a reasonable time. ie. well before 3am.
