Pearce takes a kiss off a woman before launching an expletive-laden outburst and ranting that he wanted to commit a sex act on the dog “and I don’t even care”.
The Roosters player, who is at the centre of a lewd video controversy, shared a photograph from a pub with disgraced former NRL Todd Carney – praising him as a “great man”.
In the video, the 26-year-old is seen asking the woman if he could have a kiss but was rebuffed.
“The club wishes to advise that Mitchell Pearce has been stood down from all training commitments until the club concludes its internal investigation”, the Roosters said in a statement this morning. Pearce was fined and stood down for an incident involving “the girl in the yellow dress”, which resulted in him missing the State of Origin series of 2013.
The Mitchell Pearce incident – the one with the pooch, not the one with the yellow dress – is an all-time low. “Anything the Roosters do or the NRL do, I’d say plays a second fiddle to what he’s done to his family”, Voss told Radio Sport.
Robinson said Pearce had already apologised to him for the Australia Day incident which involved a dog and was revealed to the public last night after a recording of the incident was made public. When you get sports journalists talking about cricket they say cricketers are the same.
But she said it was disappointing and frustrating to see “one or two” incidents of antisocial behaviour continue each year.
In 2010, Canberra sacked representative centre Joel Monaghan after a lewd act with an dog during the Raiders’ Mad Monday celebrations.
The footy star attended a team boat cruise to celebrate Australia Day, but then went off to a party without his team-mates. The Roosters are not commenting on the video at this time.
“But the Association has been in touch with club and NRL officials to reinforce that any investigation must follow due process, which we have been assured will occur in this matter”.
