It is very unbecoming to see two senior players in one of the bemobilecup teams leaving the Camp to go out clubing last Friday night, just a day away from their game on Sunday.
I was out at the Junction Night Club with some mates. We were at the Members area looking out to other patrons and to my surprise, there were these two players (name withheld) among the crowd. Since, my friend is a member and it happened that we both know the guys, we had to invite them to join us.
I thought they were injured so they are not going to play on Sunday. When I asked to confirm, what I learnt was pathetically lame. They said, they were frustrated with the management over some issues which they didn't discuss.
For goodness sake, is this a better way to vent your frustration? I mean these guys are the most highly paid players in the competition and sponsors expert them to deliver what they are investing on. You can't go around drinking like this and take a days rest to go out and play. This is not on.
If we are to field a team in the NRL, then we have a major task at hand to clean up our backyard. I suggest all franchises in the Bemobile cup competition to include personal development and self discipline courses for players as part of their training as well. Perhaps the PNGRFL & PNGNRL to come up with a decision to make it Mandatory for clubs to adopt such regime.
I've heard of similar cases from other clubs and even the Kumuls World Cup Team about off-field player misconduct. That is from reliable sources, particularly from players themselves. Now that I have a medium to disseminate this info, I won't hesitate to report.
