Police expect to charge a top grade Sydney rugby league player with drink driving after receiving the results of a blood test on Wednesday.
Manly Sea Eagles prop Jason King, 26, had been drinking at a hotel at Mona Vale in Sydney's north on Thursday night and was stopped by police the following morning.
A police statement said officers stopped a BMW on Pittwater Road at about 2.45am (AEST) on Friday.
"The 26-year-old driver from Collaroy was breath tested and conveyed to Dee Why Police Station and subjected to a breath analysis allegedly returning a reading of 0.085," the statement reads.
It is believed King was on his way home in a taxi when he stopped to move his car around the corner to a safer place.
Police allegedly stopped King as he was moving his car.
King used his right to a blood test once at the Dee Why station and the results of that test were returned on Wednesday.
A Manly spokesman said the club was aware of the situation involving King but declined to comment further until police finalised any charges.

Lol!

 

[brooksy19]

He can defend himself.

 

[lockyno1]

I like the word "star"..when has King been a star?

 

[wittyfan]

Since his supreme effort against Cronulla two years ago.

 

[Garts]

And he is meant to be one of the brighter players running around. At least he can save some money and defend himself.

Arrh yes..how can I forget him beating a Nobby run Cronnula side!:lol:

 

[ByRd]

Well when ever a rugby league player stuffs up they are a "star"

 

[lockyno1]

And he is meant to be one of the brighter players running around. quote]

Can't be too bright..he plays for Manly!:lol:

 

[wittyfan]

King will have a thriving practice soon with Matai and co.

 

[lockyno1]

Matai at least has some qualities!

I refer you to the front page of this site on the left hand side, now look at the NRL ladder.

 

[lockyno1]

The ladder is on the right hand side! LMAO! Jeez Manly fans are not too smart..right,left..

 

[Harold Bishop]

Unlucky that he was only moving his car i guess, but there should be no exceptions to drink driving.

 

[innsaneink]

0.085 @ 2.45am??

And he calls himself a footy player?

fft.

I suggest you read my post again and take extra notice of "front page".

he was probably doing body shots with Kite

 

[Garts]

If they didnt sack Matai so there is no chance they will sack King, nor should they considering it is his first offence that I am aware of.

 

[lockyno1]

So what? First, second offence. Fair dinkum. Players need to learn that they are not "regular" blokes when they play footy. They are role models!

 

[Garts]

I have not called for the sacking of SBW or other players that have done the same and I wont in this case, if he was a noted trouble maker I might have a different view. At the end of the day he stuffed up and hopefully he learns from it and is punished but I think sacking for a first offence is too strong, anyway it wont happen.

Im sure if Witt was caught doing the same you would not call for his sacking.
