Brett Seymour under investigation for alcohol incident

[Garts]

But to me going out and getting sh*tface is nothing. If things go down this track players will be fined for being spotted out intoxicated, just intoxicated nothing else.

Players do not have to get sh!tfaced but I know it can happen easily enough. There has been many times I have gone out for 4 or 5 drinks only to then go on and have 15 or more. Sometimes I have even staggered in the door at 6am with dancer dollars in my top pocket and a pissed off wife. Always seems like a great idea at the time I know I am not a professional footy player but it can so easily happen, getting sh!tfaced without planning on doing so that is.

For sure it can, we all have been there and many still do.

But bottom line is that being professional footballer and earning all those dollars (every NRL top 25 player earns more than the average salary in the community) is a privilege. The employers (clubs) and the industry (NRL) have every right to put in a code that protects the image of the game, and puts the game in the best position to attract the necessary money so that the elite players can keep earning their above average salaries.

The code is already there in their contracts, it's just in 2009 it's being enforced.

And the players as a whole have to do their bit as well... make some sacrifices for the sake of the game - and their own career. It's much the same for teachers, lawyers, council workers and dare I say it many coporate employees - anyone whose behaviour in their own time reflects badly on their employer or their industry would be out on their arse.

If NRL players and people in the above industries don't like it, or can't control their drinking to sensible levels in public, they can choose to get another job. The game will benefit from this stance in the long run - and so will its players.

coke is the bigger problem amongst lawyers than grog is for league players.

getting paid a lot isn't a privilege, it just means they are good at something. Quite possibly they are sh@#t at other stuff. Why hold them up as something special?

Watch this "exclusive" news video from the worm and listen to what the girls are saying, particularly around the 32 second mark.

This was a dead set sting by two trollops after cash. Pulling him down onto her was a nice touch.

You don't see Lawyers on Friday night TV. So while Lawyers are good at what they do, and probaby are role models within their circle. NRL players are exposed to a much larger group of people, and with the exposure comes a great responsibility. They didn't ask for it, but once they make the grade, unfortunately for them, they have to respect the opportunity they have been provided. They are not like you or me, because people know who the f**k they are, and will repeat anything they see you do to the media who are more than willing to pay for it.

When are the venues that keep providing these obviously intoxicated patrons with more booze going to be held accountable.

I am liable to big fines for selling booze to drunk patrons, thats why all staff have to do an RSA, do they not have such a thing in NSW.

they do

but the problem with the venues is that when the players turn up, girls follow them, to which attracts guys - all in all it puts people on seats

imo, its almost as though a player needs to lose his speech before they are cut off at some venues

im all for one being accountable for ones actions, but venues such as the one in question are dodgy low life pits - and that is only my opinion.

further more, the LAC can issue that venue with a ticket now in leiu of CCTV evidence, if they can substantiate seymour had spent a bit of time on premise
