Mitchell Pearce arrested over altercation outside a Kings Cross nightclub

Brett Stewart received a 4 week ban and Manly were fined $100k by the NRL for drunken and disorderly conduct a few years back, This was simply because he was out, got drunk and got into trouble.

The precedent has been set with Stewart.

Stupid example & no precedent has been set.

Stewart wasnt drunk & wasnt disorderly according to the police testimony at trial.

He picked a perfect time to be an idiot. Two weeks out from Origin squad being named. And worked hard at it, apparently he got booted from the X two nights in a row. Could this be Mitch's subconscious attempt to rule himself out of Origin?

The NRL response was in no way based on the facts that were later established at the trial.

If you remember the event, the Stewart ban was handed out within a week of his incident occurring. The trial was months later down the track. At the time, the implication was that he had been drinking and had acted up. He was then banned. Much later down the track he was found not guilty of all of the above.

So everyone agrees the punishment handed out to Brett Stewart was wrong and over the top, right?
So why would you want Pearce to receive the same?
I don't get some of the people on here.
As some people on here have said, he could be fined for being a dickhead, but thats it. Anything else would be wrong and over the top, like Brett Stewarts punishment was.
It wont be double standards if the punishment is less than Stewarts, it will be learning from their mistakes and making the punishment fit the crime.

The girl involved just went private on her Facebook and Instagram > she had some top quality photos in her Instagram.

Looks like she has a friend/boyfriend that could hold Pearce up with his little finger.:sarcasm:

Pretty sure plenty of players have been sat down for a week or two for publicly being drunken idiots

There has to be some punishment, Hurrell was fined for a leaked tape of a consenual sex act, surely harrassing a woman (maybe a tranny) to the point where she has to get the police involved has to bring some punishment

I'm surprised it took us 200 posts to get there. The good old days she would have been labelled a skank in the first 10 posts

but this is pearce so its a different story. with pearce and possibility of him missing origin any skankiness is ignored

the only issue with this night out is pearce got kicked out of a couple of clubs and arrested for arguing with police. i reckon he'll get fined and "stood down" for 1 match which will enable him to play origin.

he's an idiot for getting kicked out of clubs and arguing with cops but this thing with the chick really looks like a nothing incident
