How to fk a career 101

****n dumb ****

I agree that doing an illicit drug (alleged) at or around a work function (post game drinks) isn't the most professional thing or good look for the club but no one even knows about it if he gets a lift home.

If we are worried about it not being professional then we should hold to account all the Lawyers, Bankers, Doctors ect. that get caught with the stuff in their system too but they aren't in the public eye or 'role models' necessarily.

Would be nice to think Tricky as a NRL & Sharks representative is above this sort of thing for the sake of integrity and professionalism but end of the day he's just a human like everyone else.

Alcohol, smokes, gambling are all legal - just sayen

Kids, If your going to do something stupid, don't double down and do something even more stupid.
Been happening since the dawn of time... nothing changes

Hmm, not necessarily. Let’s see how hard they come down on him.

 

[jocktheshark]

I'm sure he's feeling bad , for himself and for the bad PR he's brought on the club , hoping he's getting support as well , he'll know he's F@#ked up big time .

He just needs Latrell to come out and support him. Problem solved

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Lots of self righteous people here.

Feigning indignation. Lol

Give the kid a break. We should be on his side, not his back.

Professional athletes can and should be held to a higher standard than us.

I don’t think its unrealistic for young men who have access to the education and help that highly paid professional footballers do to stay away from illegal activities. Boys will be boys doesn’t wash anymore and I’m tired of some people (not referring to your good self or sharkstragic) just shrugging their shoulders and accept that these young men will be making these kind of mistakes that they shouldn’t be making.

And...its not as if it's off-season where you could maybe excuse (except for the driving part - that is not acceptable under any circumstances).

I felt for Ben Barba and thought it was rough when he got caught - it was after the official season. This is totally different.

Just bloody disappointed.

 

[Sparkles]

Notice someone missing?

I wonder what Dino is talking about in the background

The short bloke in front a halfback?

 

[The Punisher]

Will it be Dykes or Atkinson???

Atkinson has been playing 6 for jets….. and 18th man

Wheres Puru?

100%

Barba got done, but i have no douvt other Sharks players were tested and failed the same drug test he did, however due to the 2 strikes policy we never heard about.

This is mid season. Got noone else to blame

It’s cocaine not peptides and it was used in a party setting, for someone his age it’s a learning lesson.

He’s not a criminal he’s just dumb

How hard is it to get an uber? Deadset

Professional athletes can and should be held to a higher standard than us.

They are paid well for a good job, role models in community ect so I don't disagree and if they can't meet the standards argument could be made maybe they shouldn't be in this position and just go do a regular 9-5 or haul bricks for a living.

But with some of my posts I'm just trying to be real about it, our expectations are high for young blokes with cash and even with education and support around them maybe those expectations are unrealistic cause at some point a player is going to find himself disappointing or not meeting those standards.

I don't really see this sorta thing going away possibly ever no matter how high the standards or how harsh the penalty's. But is society actually changing for the better? Are we focused on the wrong things or is the problem the procedure and approach to tackling the challenges?

 

[Thresher]

I'm worried about whose car it could be that he was driving.

You wouldn't think that he'd be driving his own car to a game or a function unlicensed. That kind of stupid decision is surely only made when impaired by mind altering substances.

Didn't Talakai do this 18 months or so ago and he wasn't under the influence?

Maybe a team mate that was more plastered thought Tricky could drive him home?

I really hope not. Years of being a Sharks fan has ingrained in me the propensity for expecting the worst.

 

[Shortfin Mako]

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

 

[Six Again]

I’m just saying NRL gives out warnings for first timers which means they are aware it’s a society issue and not so harsh on it for a first timer.

The DUI is stupid for sure but I don’t think it’s as bad as some people are making it out to be tbh

Could be a blessing in disguise for him

Any driving on a suspended licence ?? What does it take for it to be "as bad as some people think ".

 

[HaroldBishop]

True but the driving bit whilst suspended is moronic.

Just braindead stupidity especially given he's only just establishing himself as an NRL half.
