“To the best of my knowledge, none of our top 36 were at any of those parties, I think the reports aren’t accurate. I don’t know why they’re being reported. But it certainly doesn’t represent the facts,” Gardner said.

“They’ve also got the issue with Jarrod wrong. Jarrod did overdose, he did not overdose at the party, he was found at home by his family. I can only say to you again, what a tragedy for the family.”

Damn I hate Rupert Murdoch and every propaganda network he owns.

The article says Mullen was on a million dollars per year. It was reported in other media that he was on 25% less than that. It claimed that he is a state of origin star. The bloke played one ordinary game on 2007 and was never invited back..

The Daily telegraph, fox news etc champion sensationalism and treating alternative facts as though they are actually a part of reality.

It's quite disgusting really...

Phil Gardiner has said no one in our current top 36 players were at the party.

If you get a chance to listen to his presser, it’s worth it. He’s the leader we’ve needed for a long time.

Under Wests we’ve finally found the stability we’ve been craving for a long time. The standard has been set by Phil and co, and if the players don’t get on board with setting a professional example, well there is the door.

Just to add: I too am saddened by how far Jarrod has fallen. I hope he can find his way through this.

On a side note, several people on this forum labelled Mullen a “mental midget” due to his perceived inability to game manage during his career. I wonder if those same people will keep using that label given what they know now. I don’t know the whole Mullen backstory but it seems like there’s a possibility that he was dealing with mental demons throughout his career and would have dealt with some incredible pressure being labelled as the “next Joey” so early in his career. I hope people have reconsidered their stance on him.

Like he has taken a stand with a guy who is drunk and hits a Taxi driver twice?

I would be upset as well, having gone from many Hundreds of thousand for years for doing nothing to just relying on a few hundreds of thousands per year as a result of doing nothing.

I do not feel an empathy towards him at all. He made millions when he didn't deserve it.Took some drugs to keep making millions when he didn't deserve it and got caught.

So dont report your own verified research. Quote another rags representation because they have already run the story.

Rothfield is pathetic.

Did he run over your dog or something?

Doing nothing? Get f**ked. The bloke was pretty much a cripple after the shit he put his body through for the club.

Mental health is way more complex than how much money you do or don't make and weather you deserve it or not. People with poor mental health make bad choices no matter what their circumstances. Sometimes it takes spiralling out of control and hitting rock bottom to ask for or get the help you need.

I have a lot of empathy for him. In the end he is a guy whose made bad choices. Not a bad guy.

and also an ALLEGED DRUG Dealer in his post footy days.

What a Effing loser. I wonder if the Knights will still want him involved with the club to help him.
If they do, WESTS and the Management can go and get F'ed.

When he got caught by ASADA he refused to cooperate with the investigation, he effectively sacrificed his career to protect certain people and the cynic in me thinks that there might be some sort of link there with this new allegation
