I’m no advocate for anything, but my view is if you can control yourself for whatever vice not to take over your life, I don’t begrudge. Alcohol and nicotine that you referred to are readily available to someone suffering an addiction relating to the misuse, so with guidelines set I would be comfortable to see alterations made to rules and laws in such areas. We’re talking about something different here in supply, but there’s a market whether you see that unfortunately or not

Yep, as a lifelong Warriors fan I feel I'm in no position to judge anyone else's hobbies, I'm sure I sound like a crackhead to the neighbours on gameday.

30 years of disappointment can do that to a person, just ask my wifeWith respect you come across as a crackhead on this forum as well
Everyone makes mistakes and I'm sure Koopu is feeling the pinch learnt his lesson being in the spotlight and all.
He deserves a second chance just like all of us.

Yes but there’s different levels of ‘mistakes’. Something such as supply is a conscious and calculated decision rather than a spur of the moment impulsiveness.
Decisions carry consequences, sadly he’s likely to have to face up to them.

Consequences are definitely part of it, but he still deserves his shot at redemption oneday.
Pretty disappointed in Koopu but sadly with Manu this is becoming a bit of a pattern, wonder if there’s more to come
Believe me the NRL in Australia has been rife with this stuff for many years

Respect and crack head in the same sentence. NiceWith respect you come across as a crackhead on this forum as well

Try telling them the NRL is a criminal organisation run by underworld gambling interests played by a bunch of druggies, and they'll call you a crackhead mate.
Yep ownership is part of it I'm sure just like Manu has can take years of time to bring back trust.
Jessie Bromwich and Kevin Proctor were allowed to snort without much career ending consequences.
Joey Johns. Even without asking he's a snorter from way back.
Snort away fellas just don't sell it for profit. That's illegal

Oh 100%, remember being quite shocked how prevalent it is at my local footy club when I first joined, then how many club rooms had a shelf for it in the toilets as they were sick of the clean up…
Yep sometimes there’s a bit too much ‘understanding’ and excuses made for criminal activity. Sure we aren’t all saints and I’m sure all of do something we aren’t supposed to from time to time. However, in this case if you are prepared to take the risks involved to make the quick buck then you’ve also gotta be equally prepared for the consequences of being caught

Wtf, what were they looking for, illegal sugar in their lunches?
As the great Robert Johnson said, when you're down at the crossroads and the Devil asks you to choose between legal and illegal, the dumbest idea in the world can seem plausible if your judgement is already clouded by cocaine.
Allegedly, according to his lawyer.
