      <p>The rosters for the Auckland Nines will begin rolling through the media wires in the coming days which will officially mark the start of NRL 2016.</p>
      <p> </p>
      <p>The Cowboys beat out the Warriors to become the first '95 expansion team to win the big dance but with the dual signings of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Isaac Luke, the Warriors are (again) contenders going into the season. Other major moves includes Kieran Foran heading to Parramatta, Marty Taupau heading to....</p>

      <p><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Rugby league superstar Mitchell Pearce has been caught up in a possible career-ending incident that occurred on Australia Day involving an alleged act with a dog. </span><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">The Roosters premiership captain was allegedly captured on video in a vile act at house party after allegedly making advances toward a woman in a bedroom. </span><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">When the woman rejects his advances, Pearce then allegedly performed a lewd act on a dog. </span><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">The video has reportedly been watched by some media outlets and will soon come to light with those who have watched saying it is likely to be very damaging to the NRL star's career.</span></p>

          I was going to say I'm shocked, but really... I'm not at all. Just another episode in the drama that is the NRL.

                Pearce is from what ive been told is a fairly solid family upbringing. Rugby league royalty and all that with his dad being a relative good sort. If someone from privelage and a father whos been there and done that - but the right way - can get it allegedly so horribly wrong i dont hold out much hope for the rotten eggs ij this game that havent had the same level of guidance Pearce has.<br><br>

                            <p>Yeah Pearce went to private Sydney school Barker College where he played Rugby as a halfback (they don't offer League) whilst playing League for club on the Sunday. </p>

                                    <p>This actually was about 15 seconds of tomfoolery by some pissed up lads in a flat. They weren't too over the top, caused NO DISTRESS to anyone and were pretty good to the lady who told them to leave.</p>

                                    <p>Seriously, I hate this type of shit and that fluffybunny tv reporter at the end pretending it was something ghastly is the worst fluffybunny on this - apart from the filmer</p>

                                                    Anyway its not a league season until someone drinks their own piss, shits in a hallway, gropes someones underage daugher(a few years back Craig Gower had a go at Pearce younger sister)or interferes with Benji and i dont mean Marshall.<br><br>
