It doesn’t show poor attitude at all. They don’t have to be a team 24x7, that’s ridiculous. There is nothing wrong with enjoying yourself before a game.

I'm sure Melbourne storm players head off in groups of 2 or 3 to go play pokies before a big game...

Bellamy would not cop that crap it is disjointed, no team cohesion and we played like it. the pokies don't look great but it is more the point that 2 players are having a good time while the rest of the team are in rooms relaxing. 

players get rest days to let hair down and go to pokies or pub the time is not the night before a game

@jedi-tiger They are human beings first, rugby league players second. You have no idea what Bellamy would or wouldn’t like.

There is actual video evidence that Melbourne Storm players head off in groups of 2 or 3 to bump lines of blow. Bellamy does cop that crap, all those players are still at the Storm.

 

They were at a pub, NOT DRINKING, and left at 9pm. I genuinely dont understand all the hand wringing and dont see what they are supposed to have done wrong?

 

If they were at a restaurant until 9pm would this be a story?

What a nothing story, I have no problem with them having a hit on the pokies the night before the game.

Seems a bit over blown by most. I'm sure they have a curfew and their commitments were completed other wise there would be sanctions etc. 

They are free to do what they want in there spare time I would have thought. Not a great look but hardly criminal. 

How.many people have done that before turning up to their work.

While.i wish they had other forms of relaxtion fun etc it is there life.

Not a great look and would prefer they didn't do this, but it doesn't seem that is caused any issue, so am happy to put it down to Rothfield taking the opportunity to have another crack at us.

Rothfield is a disgrace. Letting his tripe  cause this amount of debate Over a nothing incident is the real crime here

This is the best example of the NRL media’s constant smear campaign and harassment against the WestsTigers brand in my opinion.

I mean really, for this none event to garner this much attention in the NRL media then the George Burgess incident of being charge by the Police with “sexually touching another person without consent” is beyond my comprehension.

What they did wasn't that bad, but the issue is that common sense would tell you that in a team that is constantly smashed by the media, going to the pokies in a crowded pub the night before a game wouldn't be a great look and would be seized upon by the media. I just don't think we're in a position where we need to give them extra ammo, they have enough already.

I honestly don't care if they are there the morning of the game, maybe they had a pub feed and a quick slap before they left. Total no event, Roberts very well good be a personality that doesn't cop well with being stuck in a hotel room. Just a joke to be honest.

It isn't what they did, the issue is the lack of self awareness to bring more negative media attention to the club when it could have been easily avoided. We can't control what they write about us but we don't need to give them stuff on a platter either. Walking into the most crowded pub on a saturday night and playing the pokies is asking for a headline.

And for the record, I couldn't care less what they do in their spare time provided they're ready to play - we just don't need more negative headlines.
