:lol: Well said Witty fan! (re the bucks night jibe)
Remember also that a high profile Queensland police oficer (deputy Commissioner?) this week had a sexual harassment charge laid on him because he greeted a woman he knew with a peck on the cheek! IN comparison with that, a drunken slap on the bum is worse, and I bet that it was more than a slap on the bum! Most people, especially those with the integrity of Wayne Pearce, would not react in such a way to a minor indescretion by a drunk. It sounds like it was less slap, more grope/fondle.
Time to set an example. Each off season, some moron gets on the piss and disgraces our game. If it's not a Norths front rower (was it Stuart?) groping women in Wagga, Dan Tilse in a dorm, Cory Hughes at the races, Julian O'Neil, Jason Taylor, Tricky Trindall et al, it's Canterbury in Coffs Harbour.
Throw the book at the prick. He's a club captain, a long term rep player. He's elite, high profile, a role model for kids, especially the vast numbers out Penrith way. He's just said to all of the teenage boys who follow Penrith - it's OK to get pissed, expose yourself in public, grope women.
I feel sorry for all those good people who do their absolute best for Penrith.
Gower should be given the John Hopoate treatment. Let him makle a living out of Union.
