Anyone know if this made it to 360 last night or if the drunken old cahunt was on the show??
He's only on on Monday's, He will make sure the topine story remains at the top of the news cycle until Monday and there will be no mention of Trindall by then.

Can't wait for Buzz' EXCLUSUVE in-depth exposé ;)
But of course the Reynolds thing was bought up about a false positive. I know from reports Josh was really adamant that he did not have drugs in his system and at the end of the day and three tests later was proven correct. Surprised they didn't add Bulldogs somewhere in there although he was not with us at the time.
Wests Tigers playmaker Josh Reynolds has been cleared by NSW Police of driving under the influence after a third drug test returned a negative result.

Yeah, and he is going to cop the consequences for that.

What will almost certainly go unrecognised is the likelihood that he is struggling to cope with something and has done the all too macho male thing of self-medicating in an irresponsible fashion. We've seen this kind of pattern in RL all too often, the pressure gets to blokes, or they have other stressors in their lives, and they implode in some way rather than reaching out for help, the most acute example of this pattern in recent memory being Paul Green, but there are many cases that are less acute and essentially completely unknown by the public.

One of the reasons most of this stuff is unknown is because of the way the general public comes crashing down on them when they stuff up. Certainly sometimes it is just sheer stupidity, but for every time it is, there is going to be at least 1 other case where it is someone who isn't coping well, and when that is the case, they are even less inclined to seek the proper help after copping it from all sides from people who wouldn't know them from a bar of soap.
Sorry mate - he’s a 20 something year old, who has a stack of cash. Maybe there could be mental health issues but more than likely he is just living as a typical 20 something year old male would

No sympathy from me currently

I get that, but this just looks different. Munster and Cheese got white line fever after the season was done, dumb, but they didn't risk a whole lot.

Trindall was not with teammates when he got drunk and allegedly on the nose beers, he left Rudolph's place Sunday night and went off with non-teammates (pretty sure even Sharts would have a strict policy of "during season" behaviour). He is then picked up Monday morning at 9:40am, at 2.5 times the legal limit, so he didn't hold back the night before (heavy drinking would certainly be frowned on by any professional sporting body these days). Also, his license is expired. He is doing to a lot of sabotage to the career he has worked hard on, and that doesn't generally happen in someone who is mentally healthy and in a good mood state.

Don't take this as a dichotomy, I'm not saying that if he has mental ill health he should be treated as innocent of what he has done. What I am saying is that if it is the case and it isn't factored into the decisions made about him, the chances of a good outcome from all this diminish considerably.

Top lawyer Lee Hagipantelis believes footy star Braydon Trindall's failed roadside drug test won't result in action from the NRL because it wasn't carried out by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

A new report has claimed that Braydon Trindall was partying with teammates on the night before he failed an initial roadside alcohol and illicit drugs tests early on Monday morning.

Trindall immediately reported the result of the tests to his club, the Cronulla Sharks, and will appear in court in May, with a secondary sample of the illicit drug test yet to be confirmed.


Hagipantelis said that while the club has done the right thing by reporting the incident immediately, Trindall could still be stood down until his case is heard in court.

'However, another interesting note is that, if he is found guilty ... of driving with an illicit drug, does that become relevant then from the NRL's illicit drug policy perspective, or is it just simply a matter of bringing the game into disrepute?' the former Wests Tigers chairman told News Corp.

'The answer is, it is not relevant for the governing body's illicit drugs policy because it is not an official WADA test.


'The WADA rules require that testing occurs on the day of competition. So if he is found guilty of driving with an illicit drug, the NRL will not be able to rely upon hat to invoke their illicit drugs policy.'

NSW Police confirmed in a statement on Tuesday afternoon that a 24-year-old man who had been driving on Captain Cook Drive, Caringbah about 9.45am on Monday, was stopped for a random breath test.

'The man produced an expired licence and allegedly returned a positive result to a breath test,' the statement read.

'He was arrested for the purposes of a breath analysis and was taken to Miranda Police Station, where he allegedly returned a breath analysis reading of 0.124.


'He also allegedly returned a positive result to an illicit substance. The 25-year-old man was issued an infringement notice for unlicenced driver - expired licence.

'Proceedings were also commenced for driving with middle range prescribed concentration of alcohol and drive with illicit drug present in oral fluid.

'He was also issued a court attendance notice for drive with middle-range PCA and an illicit drug. He is due to appear before Sutherland Local Court on Friday 17 May 2024.'

A report from The Sydney Morning Herald on Tuesday claimed that Trindall was celebrating with teammates after Cronulla's win over North Queensland before leaving and continuing on to celebrate with friends.

Trindall told the club no players were with him after he left the apartment, according to the Herald.

Daniel Atkinson will start against Canberra on Sunday afternoon, with Trindall forming a nice combination with Nicho Hynes after the club put their faith in him and allowed Matt Moylan to go to the Super League.

Trindall scored two tries in the big win over North Queensland and claimed the Preston Campbell Medal as the best player in the All Stars game earlier in the year.

The Trindalls are a bunch of Jekyll and Hyde's!
They also like to beat up women and children!
