Fucking hell that's crazy. We see players get involved with drug dealing after their playing days so this is nothing new but The Beast made more than enough in his career not to have to go down this path. I guess this is the risk that player run when half of them are good mates with bikies and drug dealers..

How long has this dragged on for? Feels like forever since we first heard about it.

Danny Wicks comes to mind. Think he did 18 months or so in the penitentiary for drug trafficking.

a sad story considering what a fan favourite Vatuvei was... had a streak of 10+ tries a season for 9-10 years

that said, for drug trafficking he should have the book thrown at him

Nearly two years since the story broke ( Dec 2019) but it was only revealed who the player was in May this year, when the person was to be named, and Vatuvei denied the charges.

Fast forward to now when he has confirmed that the charges are in fact true...

He should be leader in his community, instead he imports one of the worst drugs that destroys families.
South Auckland is a low social economic area. It’s already hard enough of young kids to succeed and get out of poverty and this idiot is helping destroy the community he should be protecting.
Absolutely disgusting.

He was getting it delivered to his parents house where he and his brother would collect and distribute
