cowboys players has agreed to stop the booze drinking for the next 6 weeks . other clubs have them where the coach has said .no more booze .but sometimes players dont agree. your thoughts on the booze banns

our players don't hit/attack women when drunk so they dont need to be banned.

Most of our fans probably need rehab after our last 2 seasons

yes its an interesting subject. women on the booze

But some of our players don't exactly demonstrate roll model behaviour and often that is (it would appear) as a result of alcohol.

bennett likes the team to have a few beers after games

We're running out of players!

Most clubs will typically isue "curfews" around 24/48hrs before a game but I don't know of any that have an outright "ban".

Some Hull players would probably get the shakes if that happened.

given the standard of SL, allowing players to drink might actually be a good thing

so tevita latu and greg bird dont play in SL then?

Les Catalans have a strong booze & party ban all year round (apart some exceptions for celebrations, given by the coach). The ban is strictly enforced. This is pretty much accepted by the players as a work ethics.

I am currently in Australia and I find the lack of self control of players off field dire. Each week a new scandal hits the news. It is the best gift the NRL gives to RU and AFL. I fear for the progress of the game as mothers may well consider that other sports (including football) are a better learning environment for their kids than RL.
