ARU Rehab is just a couple of afternoons paddleboarding with Robbie Deans isn't it?

In all honesty, what would you have the courts do in this situation? Do you throw him to the wolves and send him to jail? We can clearly see how well that's working out for the Yanks throwing first time offenders behind bars.

Not sure if it can be applied, given the offence predated his contract. He may accept it as a way of restoring his public image though.

ARU and Reds suspend @karmichaelhunt for six weeks, fine him $30,000. Also enters rehab program. NOT sacked. Can play in round eight.

This was posted by RugbyReg earlier today.
Round 8 is one week later than that. Seems like there were plenty of deals done behind closed doors before today's outcome!
Simmons’ new target date for a return is the March 27 match with the Lions at Suncorp Stadium.
If he makes it, it could mean a massive boost for the Reds right when they need it most, with Quade Cooper and possibly Karmichael Hunt mooted to return for that match.

Probably about right showing to do something but not completely shutting him down. Now lets just see if he pulls his head in and actually adds value to the Reds after the suspension.

You get sent to rehab to fix you, not break you.

I think part of the rehab should consist of volunteering at junior rugby clubs around some of the disadvantaged parts of Brisbane, helping them with tasks around the club, participating in some of the enduring work parents and kids do to keep their club going.
He can do this for six weeks, and see the how the 'grass roots' function. I know the All Blacks did it a few years back. Really did work wonders for the team.

That punishment is a joke. Wendell Sailor copped a 2 year ban for cocaine, and by Karmichael's own admissions he purchased quite a quantity of the drug and did one of two things - on sold it (supply) or consumed it (use/possession). The discrepancy is a joke!
QRU that is a piss poor response.

BY his own admission, if he didn't on sell it which constitutes supply, then he consumed it, or is his argument that it is at home as a decoration. He has admitted to having it and the conclusion drawn is that he used it. What is the difference to being tested positive or admitting to using it?
Didn't think i would find myself saying this, but i feel sorry for big Dell if that is all Hunt cops.
Probably about right, I guess.
