And on Cooper signing with Williams and Mundine's management...I don't see the big deal. Both Williams and Mundine are both gentlemen who have never been caught for being drunk, hitting women or pissing around the streets at 4am in the morning, and have very strong morals. If anything, Cooper will become a better rugby player from hanging around men who are giants in their respective sports. Learning how to be the best and beat the best. It's Cooper life, not our choice to decide.

he was charged with drunk driving; the Bulldogs fined Williams $5,000 over the incident and he was forced to appear in Waverley Local Court on 7 September. He was convicted of drunk driving, with a blood alcohol level of .075 (
"never been caught for being drunk"? ).
In 2007, Williams was caught in a compromising position with Australian model Candice Falzon. Several witnesses saw
Williams and Falzon enter a toilet cubicle together at the Clovelly Hotel in Sydney. A photo taken by a mobile phone of the incident was published on the Daily Telegraph website. Williams later
apologised to his girlfriend (Genna Shaw) over this incident.
On 17 June 2007, Williams was
caught by police urinating on a wall (
literally "pissing around the streets at 4am", as you put it ) in a dark alleyway near a well known nightclub in Cronulla in Sydney and was handed an infringement notice and fine worth $650.
Williams subsequently admitted he had an alcohol problem and would seek professional help for his problem.
... And even recently controversy when he took a ski trip on a Canterbury game day when he was suppose to be injured.
