My biggest gripe was them losing ruined my weekend then they get to see titties? Nah man win and go on a 15 hooker gangbang, lose and you can have a few quiet ones back at a communal room at the place of accommodation

No tits for you, one week!!!

it's a strip club in gladstone, QLD. that's punishment mate.

a reward would've been staying in and logging onto chaturbate or pornhub or something.

Was this the club featured in the old Courier-Mail headline:

SHOCKING STRIP SHOW: POLICE COMMISSIONER TO ACT

So, what is the dollar amount that means my workplace owns every minute of my day?

I'm sorry, but it's a nonsense. If I turn up to work hungover or straight from a night out - sure, sack me.

But when I'm done for the week you have no right to tell me what to do.

They arent done for the week. In that town they are on business and representing their employer. Plus they have rehab the next day.

Every job has different expectations. Can the PM go to his union if he gets shitfaced, f**ks up and it gets sprayed across the press the next day?

Comes with the territory as a professional athlete. Asking players to not go on the piss and not visit a strip joint when you are on a trip which is partly to grow your brand isn't outrageous. Its mid season, some professionalism wouldn't hurt. They are supposed to be elite athletes.

We are talking about 2 different things here. You are talking about players not carrying on in a way that damages the club brand. I guess some of that may have happened, especially in light of fines being handed out, but we don't really know the full story.

I am talking about a club putting a curfew on players. That is different from telling them to not be silly (which should be assumed...but I guess probably isn't). That is telling them the only way they can be trusted is by hiding away. I know what I would think of my employer if they treated me like that, and it would look like the sort of shemozzle the Manly players showed on the field last week.

The Army paid me a whole lot less than that and owned my life, many times we were told no drinking whilst still back in barracks if some of our unit were in the field. If caught you would be charged with disobeying a lawful command. It wasn't really hard to follow rules.

Which is why people are lining up in droves to join the army.....

Don't like it? Don't sign the contract.
Do not pass Go. Do not collect $500,000 pa.

Simple really.

Do you think the contract said that players would have curfew's put on them? Odd sort of contract. I doubt any of them saw that clause.

I've got a lot of sympathy for what you're saying, but I guess the point is they're on a work trip, so they haven't really knocked off.

If my employer sends me interstate for work and I get on the piss with my colleagues, end up at a strip joint and get in a punch up it's not going to go down terribly well.

I agree that while on a work trip, and even when not, they represent their club and its brand. That means they really shouldn't have punch ups.

Not sure getting on the piss or visiting a strip club are so outrageous to the general footy loving public that it would normally damage a footy club's brand (and I don't drink or go to strip bars, nor particularly think either is a good thing, just not so outrageous). Except maybe for the sort of "fans" who don't actually know anything about the game (like Beattie) and are just looking to be outraged by those horrible rugby league players.

But having to represent your workplace sensibly is different from your workplace putting on a curfew because they think you'll stuff up. It shows the work environment is rotten.

Just so you blokes didn't have to, I did some research via google on what's on offer at Gladstone strippers, and by the looks of it most of them would piss on you without you even asking

leave my f*cking wife out of this you pr*ck.

If it wasn't for my sister dancing alongside her & urinating on me, we would never had met. I was only there to make sure my mother didn't dislocate her hip on the dance pole. or any other pole for that matter.

some f*ckers here have no class at all.

Trust is earnt. Clearly the current culture and quality of person representing Manly cant be trusted, or there would be no need for a curfew, and then they went and confirmed it! Or are you suggesting the only reason they went on the pss and to a strip club was because their employer had told them not to?

re was it that bad? my missus response when she heard the story was "what a set of idiots, and they call themselves professional athletes. But is it RL so I suppose you cant expect anything else, I wonder what their wives think?". If that is most of the general publics response then yeh it does cause problems for the game and club from letting kids play to deciding to invest your hard earned in being a fan. Sure they didn't smash the place up or start an all out brawl but, like it or not, a large amount of the great unwashed would read the story and just have their prejudices or perceptions of RL reinforced, and that does us no good what so ever.

At least I have a team to support.
