I know that the whole idea of sh*tting in a hotel corridor is repulsive and seems indefensible, but I feel sorry for Myles in this case.
When I first heard about it, I thought, there has to be more to it than this being a case of an evil drunk footballer deciding that locking himself out of his room naked so he could sh*t in the corridor of a hotel at 8:00 am while sniggering with evil intent. That just didn't make sense.
Now we have an explanation that does make sense. Drunk, or otherwise, by sheer unfortunate accident, he's found himself in what would be a nightmare situation. I used to have nightmares when I was a kid that I went to school and realised that I didn't have any clothes on. I think most people have had those dreams and know how bad it felt. Well, this was reality for Myles, and not only that he had a sh*t beckoning. Couldn't get back into his own room. The family who were leaving wouldn't let him into their room (understandably - he was naked), and he couldn't get into Pearce's room. Then it was too late.
After all that, the only place he had to go (he was naked so he couldn't just waltz down to the lobby) was the fire stairs.
I can't imagine anything more humiliating and embarrassing than that. And there was nothing deliberate or malice or sinister or evil. It was a nightmare.
Nobody, especially the NRL, could bring themselves to show anything other than complete and utter disgust at this because defending it is too hard. There's too big of a risk that they'll be seen as trying to defend the indefensible, and will be placed in the same disgusting category as Myles himself. But as far as I'm concerned, what they're really doing is turning around with everyone else, and pointing at Myles in complete disgust. That would make him feel even more isolated and more humiliated. He deserves support, not ridicule.
If I had a chance to speak to him, I'd say "You poor bastard. I feel for you".
