Greg Inglis: 18 mths good behaviour bond for mid range DUI, speeding offences

I’m glad he has put the ball in Mal’s court.
We can see what Mal is really about.

I remember a player getting suspended for 4 weeks for being allegedly drunk , and his club being fined 100k for allowing said player to get allegedly drunk .

How many weeks will Dogberg give to this alleged drink driver for allegedly being drunk in public?

Which "club" will cop the $100k fine?

So he said he left the pub at 11pm or 1am. That's a big window to say what time you left (though given the likely circumstances that isn't surprising that his recollection is bad).

And then left at 12pm, which means he was then nabbed around 2pm. So we are to believe that over 12 hours from his last drink he still blew 0.085 but thought he was right to drive?

And there is nothing said in his statement about the fact he was speeding too.

Given Papalli was stood down after pleading guilty, and Inglis is pleading guilty there is only one viable option.

Well this is the NRL so the only thing to do is let him play, keeps everyone on their toes as to what is and isn’t acceptable.

When the Kiwi captain got caught with a substance related issue he got dropped for the entire World Cup- so I imagine the Australian captain will ....get a stern talking to.

And then left at 12pm, which means he was then nabbed around 2pm.

Dubbo to Lithgow= 3 hours, maybe more on the Monday of a long weekend. If he had not had a drink since the previous night, he would have to have been so drunk he couldn't hold his hand out for another drink.

Inglis wants to keep Kangaroos captaincy despite drink-driving charge

Newly appointed Australian captain Greg Inglis has pleaded to retain the job and apologised for letting down those who view him as a role model after being charged with drink driving on Monday.

Inglis was pulled over for speeding at 2.15pm on Monday and returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.085 after drinking the night before while attending the Koori Knockout in Dubbo.

The South Sydney superstar had hours earlier been named Kangaroos captain for the October 13 Test against New Zealand at Mt Smart Stadium and insists he has the support of the playing group to continue in the role.

A decision on whether he retains the captaincy will be made after the NRL integrity unit completes an investigation and Inglis has been in discussions with Australian coach Mal Meninga and his Queensland counterpart Kevin Walters about his representative standing.

"With the Australian captaincy, it is out of my hands now but it is something I would really love to still be the Australian captain," Inglis told a media conference at Redfern Oval on Tuesday.

"That is entirely up to Mal and the selectors, and obviously Todd [Greenberg] and the NRL. I spoke to Mal this morning, I have continued talks with Mal and I have continued talks with Kevvie, as well, and the QRL. In the background, I have been speaking to a lot of people.

"I have been playing for 13 years and I have never had a criminal charge laid against me or anything like that. I just hope the NRL can work through this and I will obviously work with Souths as well, and we will go from there.

"We just have to go through the process and I am here today to say that I am very sorry and very sincere about what happened."

Inglis admitted that the Kangaroos had high standards of behaviour but the 31-year-old believed he still deserved the honour of captaining his country for the first time.

"Me personally I feel like I do but it is entirely up to them," he said. "It is out of my control now but I know I have the full support of the playing group and everyone else

"Obviously, there are standards there. I was in those meetings when we addressed those standards in a group and like I said it is disappointing from my end."

MORE TO COME

I was *sob* depressed * sob* due to the fact that I couldn't *sob* handle the overwhelming *sob* responsbility of being named Australian Captain *sob sob *. And that's why I *sob* got shitfaced & then drove *sob sob *. But I've learned my lesson & promise that it won't happen again. * no sob *

Up there with JT and Smith meeting the criteria of "Being a cleanskin your whole career" in order to qualify for a testimonial game.

Anyone heard from Toddy? Seems to go all quiet when one of the teflon coated favourites get into trouble.

 

[Perth Red]

Needs to be checked into a Thai rehab centre.

Other countries have a blood alcohol of 0.08
Which is mid range here.

Mid range is between 0.10 and 0.15 (bzzzt wrong). They've charged Inglis with mid-range because he is known to have been driving for approximately 3 hours, during which time his reading would have been mid-range. If he'd just got in his Merc in the last 5 minutes he'd have been low range.

Edit: They've changed it. It's 0.08 to 0.15 now.

 

[TIGER14]

How about that press conference......
Not sure but apparently he's got the support of the club and is moving forward.
The PR stuff does these guys no favours.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Pretty disgraceful press conference performance.

If he had an ounce of credibility he'd have stepped down from the captaincy. Clearly, he has none.

And now we find out if Mal has any credibility. And if Toddles has discovered any since we last confirmed he has none all of two weeks ago.
