Details emerge of the fight with Bateman that got Scott sacked I NRL 360 I Fox League

[@jimmybob5457]

Good on ya buzz not running him into the ground. He’ll be back

[@andrewbryce2707]

When are these players gonna understand that professional athletes should be staying away from the poison which is alcohol. It's unbelievable that alcohol is still so engrained in rugby league.

[@davidmiller7252]

Agreed....

[@ripme6616]

Unbelievable.. my ass

[@andrewbryce2707]

@@ripme6616 don't understand the logic. Wait till you are finished with the sport and you can go drink till you collapse. It's a short career. As a professional athletes they should be doing everything they can to get the maximum out of their bodies every week.shouldnt be difficult to stay away from the drink!

[@deevita7459]

@@andrewbryce2707 it's not unbelievable. These kids are groomed from 13-14 years to give everything to play footy and make the NRL. All this while watching thier friends going partying and missing out all the time. Now that they've made the NRL they're trying to play catch up and get the girls with their fame. I understand it. I've also seen footy players out in the clubs and seen people try to pick on them because of their fame. I think players should pay for their own security when going out because like everyone in the world they need to blow off steam now and then. But banning them from alcohol is not the answer, that just adds fuel to the fire next time they have drink. That's why footy players binge drink. Just my opinion.

[@tonysimon6312]

It's unbelievable that alcohol is still so engrained in rugby league? Australian culture mate. Accountants, lawyers, tradies, you name it, all have individuals that drink excessively and get into fights, go to work drunk or high. They don't have media follow them around, and the don't get sacked for it. In those jobs, your employer has vey little say in what you do after hours. As for league, there's 480 registered player's. The 10 incidents you read about every year adds up to 1% of players. If 1% is a problem, you must be an Angel. Most of the players are professional athletes these day and a good % don't even drink. You assessment is not accurate.

[@davidmiller7252]

No excuse! Curtis Scott is an adult and should not put himself in those altercations. Curtis Scott needs to take responsibility for himself.

[@mistagrove4349]

tightass

[@StanslaMichael]

Spare me the brave bullshit. There are people actually fighting for their lives, battling cancer and just trying to live through this lockdown. There is a perception that players that are talented must naturally be good upstanding people and by and large most are but not all. It's that small percentage that aren't that end up in trouble. That goes for any sport. How much do you really know other than their talent and what they want you to know.

Only way you hurt your hand in a fight is if you throw a punch.... Bloke has had more than enough chances. Good on the raiders for setting a good example by getting rid of him. Yes innocent until proven guilty but the video footage dosen't show any means of self defence in his latest altercation

[@whitebuffulo]

Everyone falls at some stage just hope he has some good people around him to help him get up cause when you are down it's hard to see clearly but at the end of the day there is action and consequence and sometimes the consequence leads us to the path to get back up even though it's tough at the time, here is to second chances.

[@hodgo12100]

It was obvious storm didn’t want him because chambers left and Scott was primed to take his place instead he left and went to raiders storm saw this coming they already helped when he was there and it didn’t do a thing he just kept spiraling out of control it sucks for him because when he is on he is gun centre hopefully he gets help.

[@jackohere1878]

@@Jp-do9ny Well that is your opinion .However other than obviously disliking Manu just what you base it on would be interesting. Manu is a proven top class player while Scott is still a wannabe. Storm "know when to hold-know when to fold 'em" better than all other clubs and they let Scott go. I think we need a top class dummy half before signing another outside back but it seems Manu is high on the Warriors hit list and the guy is superb in his position.

There’s a lot of us out there guilty of the same thing. The only difference is that these young men are public figures earning huge amounts of money.

Not just suck money out of these lads.
