the 'life of brian' XIII

[muzby]

got thinking the other day... could we pull together a team of players who are/were part of an NRL team's top 25 in 2013 who have been sacked from one club for off-field indiscrections during their time?

so far I could come up with:

1. josh dugan
2. bj lulia
3. dane gagai
4. timana tahu*
5. junior vaivai
6. todd carney
7. robert lui
8. dane tilse
9.
10. willie mason
11. neville costigan
12. reni maitua
13. greg bird


okay.. just needing a hooker...

any help on the team? could are there any better players who i've missed out? (and have I got any of the above wrong??)


obviously not wanting to revel in their past misdeeds, but more curious about how some of these blokes have managed to turn their careers around...


*awaiting confirmation

The Eels sacked Tahu didn't they?

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Was Maitua sacked after his positive test?

are they all playing this year tho?

thought about taumata (need another half*) but don't think any other club has picked up that train wreck yet.




* might go see wicksy.

monaghan?

 

[Springbokfly]

Albert Kelly

 

[Joely01]

Double post

 

[RufusRex]

who was the alleged winger rapist bloke ... played for warriors or tigers or something?

 

[Lockyer4President!]

Gold Coast have Myles, Bird, Kelly and for some reason I think there's another.

 

[JamesBrandy]

I don't know if he was fired or not, but Craig Gower gave it a pretty good go.

 

[Eels Dude]

Was Maitua sacked after his positive test?

Regardless, he was sacked by the Bulldogs prior to that. I don't think Tahu was sacked as such by the Eels, just released.

 

[Fifty Metre Line]

Robert Lui at halfback.

 

[Loudstrat]

Sandor Earl was punted by Easts.

How about Thurston?

 

[dogslife]

Who was Thurston sacked by?

 

[Didgi]

How about Thurston?

I'd love to hear your story on this one.

Only sack-worthy thing he's ever done.

 

[Loudstrat]

I dunno if he was sacked or not - hence the "what about"?

And if he was, he fits with Muzby's last part of his post - how they have turned things around.

surely there'd be more than that?
