I don't give a shit.It's November,despite what was written,his behaviour did not warrant him being asked to leave the pub.
It's no ones business.
It's no ones business.
I don't know.
What I do know is that he looks fitter at the moment than he has in a very long time.
He is clearly doing the hard yards at training and is scheduled to return to contact after his shoulder reconstruction ahead of schedule.

He looks like he's gained a few kgs, in a good way.

Yeah, hilarious. Nice cheap shot... Quade?
Grubs like Weidler rely on gullible, media-reliant drones who have forgotten to demand perspective and context. KB (Kurtley Beale) allegedly on the sauce in November - so? Apparently the snouts were offended - what do we know about the snouts? Do they share my values? Are they wowsers? Maybe it was Weidler's mum, for all we know. Does Weidler know who the snout was? An anonymous tip? What will it take for him to write objectively, lest positively? Shame on him, and the zombies who enable him.
Fair dinkum, if he's not as obtusely vague as Grumblin' Growden I will eat my hat.

Sadly Kurtley has an enduring problem with alcohol.
It's a disease that's cruel and doesn't go away.
You can get as angry with Weidler as you like but he's reporting fact.
Who can, or who will help Kurtley to help himself?

What will help Kurtley is 'reporters' like Weidler ceasing this type of crap journalism and let him focus on dealing with his issues and give him the headspace to perform at his job to the best of his ability.
We don't know anything of the sort. Being a clown and doing stupid shit on the sauce is not necessarily alcoholism. I agree he should be trying to stay away from it, but we cannot say that a lapse will have any long-term effect. And Weidler's facts cannot be assumed. He has a very strong anti-rugby agenda.

If Kurtley is an alcoholic then it's almost certainly best if he doesn't drink. If he has a problem of self-control when he does drink but is not actually an alcoholic, then learning to manage that should be an ongoing process that does not necessarily require him to stay completely alcohol-free. Since we don't know one way or the other, in my view we should all just assume the latter.
It's the off-season, by all reports he's been training hard, and, let's face it, the Bucket List was probably vastly improved by him standing on a table and bellowing.
In fact, the more I think about it, that might be the only possible response of a sober person to being there on a Saturday night.

Also anyone not managed by one of his favoured player-agents.

Every bloke claiming to be an "alcoholic" and have a "disease" just because they act like dickheads on the piss is a cop out, drumming up sympathy, instead of the appropriate scrutiny for not refraining from drinking if they can't behave responsibly when they do it.
Kurtley's issues don't appear to stem from not being able to control his drinking, they stem from shithouse behaviour when he does.

I guess you could say it wasn't the only cheap shot doing the rounds on Sunday.
Sorry switching topics quickly but what are the tahs going to do with their back line next year? They would be mad not to keep Izzy at fullback. So where does that leave Kurtley and Foley? Injury may play a role but one of this wallabies will be riding the pine for sure won't they?
I think Beale will most likely start on the bench if everyone is fit and will be eased back into rugby after his shoulder reco (even though he is expected to be fit for round 1).
I'd be surprised if Cheika wants to disrupt the Foley-Horne-AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) combo that was working so well last year.
Beale is certainly a great player to bring off the bench for some attacking spark in the second half. Given the way most seasons run, it would be unlikely that all the key players are fit for the majority of games so there won't be many games where Wallabies are relegated to the bench.

Great stuff. Sounds like the arch-conservative wowser type, aka fun police. So quick to judge without considering the broader context. You speak with the authority like you were a witness to these alleged crimes against moral decency - it simply has to be true 'cause I read it on the Internet...
Haters gonna hate, because it's so stupidly easy to hide behind an avatar. Why not contact NSWRU and ask to meet the guy in person, and maybe put forward your expert theories face-to-face?
With everyone fit, I would like to see Crawford, Folau & Beale (15) as the back three.
Three fullbacks essentially , all good under the high ball, that can counter and kick well
