The sound of water trickling has now become synonymous with him.

Good comment. People have to be so deep into addiction to think that everyone else is wrong.

@@victorcode2075 yeah mate, i mean being done so many times DUI & hanging on with a piece of string not just with Canberra but the NRL in general, he's future & the only thing he thought about was not being allowed to hava drink is pretty messed up. I suppose if ur so far gone in an addiction cloud then that's the only thing they hear being said & that in their mind is, "my life's over" just coz they can't drink. My dad's an alcoholic, he's been clean for about 3/4 years now after he was diagnosed with emphysema. He was told, as u could imagine, that he had to give up the grog & smokes, he actually gave up the grog quite easily & drinks the non alcoholic beers but he hasn't been able to give up the durries & if anything we all thought he'd give up the durries & keep drinking. He owned his own business, he's a panel beater, up until about 6/7 year ago & he lost the business due to his alcoholism. His main cash cow was the local second hand car yards but they stopped bringing work to him after 40 years coz he was spiralling outta control. My mum would go in a few days a week to do paperwork & when she'd arrived she'd do a huge sweep thru the joint to get rid of the grog coz he'd have hidy spots all over the place, all opened with a sip or 2 taken outta each one so no matter where in the workshop he was he could do a quick scull. Not only did he lose the business but my parents didn't have much in the way of savings with a mortgage still to pay off. I'd saved for years up around $10,000 for a holiday to South Africa & I've got none of it left to this day as i paid everything so they weren't on the street. My mum was extremely embarrassed but grateful yet my dad refuses to acknowledge that happened & has never said thank you once..... it's that denial which is more embarrassing to admit his alcoholism was the cause of losing the business as well as nearly losing everything & especially admitting i gave them every last cent i had. They say u need to hit rock bottom first before u can help urself but i honestly don't believe that, well not for everyone anyway coz he'll still deny to this day he hadda drinking problem. When ur caught sitting outside at 5:30 in the morning sculling beers before going to work but still denied, beer in hand he was actually drinking a beer, that's just the mind of an addict.

Bit soon mate

Yes. It seems court decisions and nrl sanctions had little effect at the time. But he seems much better now, and likely can be a positive influence in the lives of young players. I applaud him for where he is at now. Tremendously talented, lessons learnt painfully, but he has gotten through it, unlike say Anthony Gobert, a tremendously talented Aussie motorbike racer, whose demons killed him.

Lol no automated Aussie voice yet. Niche yes, but well made.
