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..

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

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...

I now dub theee Methu Vatuvei.

Zero sympathy to drug dealers. All they do is drive up other crimes.

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.
