    Default 'Appalling' photo of Canberra Raider prompts NRL investigation

    'Appalling' photo of Canberra Raider prompts NRL investigation

    THE Canberra Raiders are investigating an alleged major incident involving a star player on the club's Mad Monday celebrations.

    Raiders chief executive Don Furner held a press conference in Canberra today to address an alleged photograph that has been doing the rounds in relation to a star player.

    The NRL has launched an investigation into the incident.

    Furner today claimed to be "dumbfounded" and "appalled" if the image is proven to be true - but stressed he was yet to see the photo personally.

    The photo was posted on social network site Twitter by a Melbourne radio station but has since been removed.

    ''If he did it, it is something he will live with for the rest of his life," Furner said.

    'We don?t know whether it's authentic but I am as appalled as everyone else.

    "If he did do it, I don't know why he would do it."

    The Raiders are continuing to investigate the photo and The Daily Telegraph will keep you updated as the story develops.

    Absolutely disgusting. Can him, deregister him.

    We say we can replace quality players that defect, well we can replace "quality" players who play up.

    I just can not fathom this utter stupidity. And I feel sorry for our game, once again becoming a joke. And for the Canberra Raiders and their fans.

    Statement from Joel Monaghan

    NRL.com Thu, 04 Nov 2010 18:00:00
    Joel Monaghan has issued a statement through his manager Jim Banaghan today expressing both remorse and disgust at an alcohol fuelled prank that led to images being circulated across social networks today.

    “Joel can’t blame anyone but himself for an act of stupidity that will haunt him for the rest of his life,” Manager Jim Banaghan said today.

    “Joel wants to make it clear that he was the one playing a prank on an absent team mate by simulating the act.

    “There are no words of explanation that can be offered because none can be appropriate.

    “Joel has to now face his family as well as fans and supporters with that shame and has already undergone counselling to help him cope with the consequences of what has happened.

    “It was a moment of abject stupidity brought about by too much drink and a complete lack of any thought process.

    “The fact that someone has sought to compound the situation further by the use of social media only adds to the trauma but Joel accepts that it is his actions alone that are at fault.

    “He apologises unreservedly for the outrage that people feel at the moment and blames nobody but himself.

    “He will meet the club over the issue and accepts that there must be ramifications but the fact is he is not in a fit emotional state to have those discussions at the moment.

    “Joel is a genuinely good person who is simply shattered by a moment of sheer madness.”

    Probably a good thing the low resolution hides the 'minor' detail.....
    Sick ****, I hope he gets mass ridicule for the rest of his life

    Old news I know and probably should be dropped and although I did see other photos (poor quality), this is by far the clearest......I originally thought it was just simulated.... i.e. The dog got close and someone took a happy snap but that doesn't appear to be the case.
