I thought he was Islamic and therefore didn’t drink as he had trouble on the drink last time? Regardless if he is or isn’t you can’t be doing that in public. Some of these blokes are lucky they have footy because the way the act they would be fucked without it. And if he keeps going he will be just that. Needs to pull his head in and realise how good things would be if he learnt how to control himself

Getting sacked and losing a few hundred grand and his ego being knocked down a peg would be a good start.

He should cop a 12 week suspension , excuse the pun lol

 

[Motorhead]

Reports are out what he said to the cops.

Threatened to bash a female cop saying he doesn’t give a shit that she’s a female.

What an upstanding citizen. Should be in jail like the rest of his family.

After seeing the debacle of a stoush Haas and Faasuamalawi put on in Origin I'd have my money on the chick cop sitting him on his arse.

NRL star Haas avoids criminal conviction


Brisbane Broncos NRL star Payne Haas has publicly apologised after being put on a two-year conditional release order for swearing at and intimidating police in Tweed Heads last month.

The NSW Origin and Australian representative had been drinking before he fired up at police officers who asked for his ID at Jack Evans Boat Harbour on the night of January 16.

Haas, who was with his pregnant partner Leilani Moheno, was arrested and charged with using offensive language and two counts of intimidating police.


Police prosecutors dropped one charge of intimidating police and the 21-year-old agreed to plead guilty to the other charges in Tweed Heads Local Court on Thursday.

Magistrate Geoff Dunlevy placed a conditional release order on Haas, a form of good behaviour bond, warning that if he reoffended he would be resentenced.

He didn't record a conviction, saying Haas was entitled to the "maximum discount" after pleading guilty at the earliest opportunity.

"I am satisfied the balance should fall in your favour," Mr Dunlevy said.

He said magistrates were expected to take a protective stance towards police and deter potential offenders when sentencing for serious crimes.

But he said that was mitigated by Haas' good character, good prospects of rehabilitation and genuine remorse.

"It seems as if this was a one off event, an anomaly, and unlikely to be repeated again," Mr Dunlevy said.

Haas' lawyer Dave Garratt had argued that Haas had been grieving the recent death of his quadriplegic brother at the time of the incident.

He said a conviction would be "quite dire" for the 21-year-old, who hadn't grown up in a stable family environment with both his parents spending time in custody.

Mr Garratt argued that his client's professional rugby league career, which was now under threat, offered the first form of stability in his life.

"Rugby league has been his saviour," he told the court.

Haas was remorseful, he said, and had voluntarily gone to the local police station to apologise three days after the incident.

Haas' pregnant partner was in the court room, with his lawyer saying that the couple just wanted to get on with their lives.

Mr Dunlevy said the incident had only lasted three minutes, but it had put Haas' life at the crossroads.

"These three minutes were a momentous three minutes in your life," the magistrate said.

Haas later issued a publicly apology, admitting his actions were "totally unacceptable".

"I did the wrong thing and let myself down as well as my family and the (Brisbane Broncos) club – but most importantly, I acted in way that showed disrespect to the police, and I am really sorry for that," he said.

"I will learn from this incident and I will be a better person in the future."

Broncos CEO Paul White said the club was working with the NRL integrity unit on finalising the matter.

He noted that Haas had taken ownership of his actions, and apologised to police and the public for his behaviour that night.

"Those steps, off his own bat, show that Payne wants to be better and improve as a person, and we will continue to work with Payne to ensure he sure he continues to receive the support and education that he needs," Mr White said in a statement.

While a rising star of the game, it isn't the first time Haas has been in trouble with the NRL's behavioural watchdog.

Haas was fined $20,000 and suspended for the opening four rounds of the 2019 NRL season for failing to comply with an NRL integrity unit investigation over a matter involving members of his family.

Was his pregnant missus there as his designated driver?

If the Gronks don't suspend him, they should at least be having him on some sort of complete alcohol ban into perpetuity.

NRL also need to step up here.

Why would anyone want to be a cop? 90% of your time would just be dealing with fuckwits.

Wow !! But then again it’s not very surprising, they just don’t get it, all taken for granted.!!

No wonder Yank cops just shoot first, ask questions later.
Maybe getting a hole blown in him would bring this knob back to reality.
"He had a tough upbringing" says his lawyer as a defence. Lol fuck off with that shit.

This fuckwad should be heckled at every game

 

[oldbatchman]

The season would be over if he played for us. Wouldn't be allowed to play for half a season and a 3 Million fine for the club.

 

[Cook]

He’s a very lucky boy. Obviously needs to stay off the drink. If u can’t enjoy a beer without getting aggressive it’s not for you. We’ve all grown up with these blokes, ten schooners in and start looking for trouble. Happy to give him benefit, surely last legs though.

No drama
