MANLY star Brett Stewart has been taken into police custody after failing a Random Breath Test (RBT) on the Northern Beaches on Monday morning.

Witnesses contacted The Daily Telegraph with sightings of Stewart being loaded into the back of a paddy wagon.

It’s understood he was drinking with friends in Manly last night and caught a cab home around 1am.

A Manly spokesman has confirmed the club is aware of the incident and has also informed the NRL Integrity Unit.

The Daily Telegraph is awaiting a response from police, but understands Stewart’s DUI reading was low range.

James Tamou was fined $1900 after pleading guilty in a Townsville court to drink-driving and driving without a licence in June last year. He was also disqualified from driving for 15 months.

He was arrested with a blood-alcohol level almost four times the legal limit.

Tamou was fined $20,000, received a one-match NRL ban and was made ineligible for State of Origin II as part of his punishment by the NRL.

Newcastle Knight Willie Mason was also disqualified from driving for six months and fined $900 after being caught with a blood alcohol level of .09 during a random breath test on his way to training following Australia Day this year.

Isn't drinking heavily bad for diabetics?

I'm far from an expert but all those carbs can't be good for him given his condition.

So when picking up his car the next day

Not if you give yourself enough insulin and you can also drink low carb beer

I love how they just go on to name a bunch of previous DUI indiscretions for shits and giggles.

Oh and this

grubs

They're journalists, and the NSW Police have a media division which publicises these incidents when they happen.

I don't like the Telegraph in general but that's hardly a line to get upset about :lol:

Popcorn! Popcorn!...Get your popcorn

It's all Gallop's fault...

 

[Dutchy]

Tamou was 4 times the legal, and no license. Missed one game.

Stewart, low range, and by reports done what we've all done and drove the next morning. Shouldn't miss a match.

 

[BunniesMan]

Maybe I'm naive but I still get surprised when NRL players have big nights during the season. Drinking enough to be over in the morning more or less takes out 24 hours of recovery and preparation. That's a big chunk of the week.

 

[Timmah]

Same category as Mason, even lower reading.

Dickhead, but not what you'd call an outrageous criminal

Everyone knows you still aren't right the morning after. He is like every other drink driver - an idiot.

 

[T.S Quint]

How does a story about Brett Stewart get turned into a Tamou/Mason story?

Did the reporter have a certain amount of words to use but couldn't achieve it with just the first part?

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Yeah an idiot, but it's not a malicious crime. Shit happens. Move on.

 

[georgesnmith]

what a dope, cops are out in force on public holidays.

wonder if the NRL demands he be stood down after they did last time and he got off.
