Melbourne Storm alleged incident

The NRL has been made aware of a video on social media that allegedly shows Melbourne Storm players in a room where there is a white substance on a table.

Nine journalist Danny Weidler tweeted, "(it's) too early to say investigation launched", but the integrity unit has been notified.

"Having seen the video it's not a great look," Weidler said.

"Another concern is they have been betrayed by people in the room with them."

News Corp reports the video shows two Storm players in a room which has at least six people in it, including the person filming.

The Storm were bundled out of the premiership race on Saturday in a 10-6 loss to Penrith.

Drugs are illegal. It's as simple as that.

Everything is illegal in Australia. No one has the right to tell an adult what they can and can't put into their own bodies. If they are not cheating...who cares. The fact there is a time amount of white powder on a table and this makes national news is such a fkn joke....but that's Australia.

Who is so important to sit there is a suit and says yes you can put alcohol in your body or can smoke but you are a criminal if you smoke a plant or sniff a powder or swallow a pill into your own body?

Most countries are smartening up and getting with the times and legalizing for personal use because current legalisation makes no sense and is stuck in the dark ages.

The only people that are against it being legalised are criminal groups, politicians, customs and cops because it makes them all rich and/or provides them with high paying jobs which are a complete waste of time and funded by tax payers. Oh and Karens and sheep watching the news and believe and follow everything the government and media says.

The war on drugs is a complete farce that has failed but continues to make a lot of people rich so it will never stop.

Drugs tear families apart, dissolves friendships, and turns ppl into unproductive zombies who do fook all, all day but thieve money off of hard working people.

Need I mention those who have been so screwed up to get money for crack, that even family members have been brutally murdered because of attempts to sponge money off them?

I see ppl affected by drugs every day to the point that I pity them, yet they make me sick to my stomach.

So yea footy75, there is more than enough blame to go around.

I reckon alcohol is so damaging because anyone over the age of 18 can buy it anytime they want, imagine if you could walk in and come out with a bag of whatever drug you wanted

 

[gordsy]

I don't get how the league can suspend them. If everyone has to say white powder because they can't prove 100% it's cocaine how does the league have the authority to fine and suspend them???

I guess they can’t unless they fess up. You’d have to explain what it was and why it was there I suppose but if they stick to a story it’s sherbert then doubt there’s much the nrl or club could do.

sounds like a teenage crisis

Standards slipping without Cam Smith there. In addition to their departures this off season do not be shocked if they miss out on the 8 next year.

Haha Cam Smith done nothing to hold standards.. bloke hardly socialised with his team at the club or away

 

[Brutus]

It's f**king grand final week ffs.

Trust the f**king Telecrap to still be running this garbage as their main RL story.

You be right there , that’s about the IQ of Munster .

Drugs tear families apart, dissolves friendships, and turns ppl into unproductive zombies who do fook all, all day but thieve money off of hard working people.

For those who over indulge, don't do it responsibly, just like anything it can turn bad. Drinking, gambling, eating fast food can all get ya in trouble too if you go overboard.

These guys don't have drug problems if it is indeed drugs.

Their families aren't going hungry because of it, they're not stealing to facilitate their use, they were in a private hotel and made no trouble and they aren't "unproductive zombies who do fook all, all day but thieve money off of hard working people".

They just presumably/allegedly indulge in a different drug to you which isn't legal yet but a staple of most nights out. It's "illegal" but it's so easily attainable and accepted it hardly feels like it. Just don't let the cops see it you're all good.

Danny Weidler is a gossiping old woman.

His existence is dead-set pathetic.

It's a condition of their employment contract & the NRL can demand a test.

Guess being the important word in that effort.

Not during off season they can’t - strict rules in place via RLPA agreement…. Players aren’t even supposed to be contacted by anyone in the game for a certain period of time during their 10 weeks off

worst case the nrl can suspend Munster for bringing the game into disrepute due to his horrendous table dancing

 

[Canard]

So does making mobile phones, clothes,ra lotsa stuff. Poor people get f**ked over so we can have nice things.

Agreed, not a lot of exploitation of women, theft, shootings, gang violence and stand over tactics related to iPhones happening in Australia though.
