Jacob Loko charged with 'high range' DUI

[Chrisaaar]

He should just be suspended without pay until the courts have reviewed/punished him.

If he's guilty and gets jail time, sack him. If not, rehab him > drop to reserves.

He's going to have one mighty fine, double d's as well.

No doubt, but he would have been tested twice (once on the road then again back at the station on a more accurate machine) so to be charged usually means there is a major issue, as they cannot charge you until they have the second reading. I can hardly see anything other than a high range DUI conviction here unless something went seriously wrong with both testing machines.

True,
Has he ever been in trouble before?
I see no reason why he can't be given a second chance, FFs if we don't give him another go, the roosters, cronulla, Gold Coast or Canberra will,

 

[Dog Till I Die]

You are trolling, right? Please tell me you are...

The wider point being, people in glass houses shouldn't......

I'm not excusing what Loko's done. But let him have his day in court.

Young, stupid, and probably unlikely to do it again.

 

[Vlasnik]

Gentlemen Loko would have been issued with a court appearance notice no matter the reading. If you exceed .05 your gone. Unless we were the arresting officers or privy to this information we will never know the correct reading. The media can hype it as much as it likes. the only thing for sure other than Loko's court date is that the media will be riding this Locomotive as long as they possibly can!!!

I trust you're referring to a 3 strikes policy?

 

[EXPLORER]

I hope we dont sack him just on this.

I do.

I have zero time for drink drivers.

I also have zero tolerance for drink driving,
But in the big picture, if we let him go, then what then, he gets signed by another club anyway and doesn't learn any lesson either way, why not keep him, fine him, what ever, but at least he still plays for us,

This is my train of thought as well!!!

Haha well said mate.

Didn't Lamb think Loko was the next SBW?

 

[Kayser]

See ya Loko
The Titans usually sign drink drivers. Head to the Gold Coast mate.

Haha well said mate.

Ha, dunny bill got done DUI once when playing with us =P

I agree, if we sack him another club would just pick him up anyway. Keep him but put him under strict rules

So should Loko convert to Islam like sbw so he can't drink?

 

[Vlasnik]

I find it strange that the Wallabies Captain being involved directly or indirectly damaging public / private property whilst being on a night on the piss was just glanced over by the media but Loko being done for DUI is hot off the press news. I guess Michael Hooper is not a big enough story for the garbage tabloids and as he doesn't play for the Bulldogs wouldn't generate the same interest in dollar value as Loco will.

You think the family club should retain a player who's fills his guts full of silly sauce then gets behind the wheel?

 

[KelpiesHuskies]

is this his first incident, if so, we should give him a chance to make amends and that is hasler way. look what he did for stewart he looked after him and stewart spilt blood for hasler.
