NRL star Mitchell Pearce ‘caught on video performing lewd act with dog’

The former National Rugby League bad boy Mark Geyer has called for Mitchell Pearce to be suspended from the NRL for a year after he was filmed simulating a lewd act with a dog during drunken Australia Day celebrations.

Pearce picked up woman’s poodle and simulated a sex act with the animal.

After the video came to light, Pearce’s club issued a statement, which read: “The Sydney Roosters are aware of an incident involving Mitchell Pearce”.

The Roosters confirmed the club had advised the NRL integrity unit and would be launching its own investigation.

In 2014 he was punted from a Sydney pub after he allegedly groped a woman inside, leading to a $20,000 fine and one-game suspension.

He then turns his attention to her pooch, simulating sex with the pet and saying “I wanna to f*** your dog, I don’t even care anymore”.

“Mitchell Pearce has a long history of this sort of drama, and I wouldn’t be concerned at all if they did tear his contract up”, Rothfield told 3AW radio.

The Roosters announced on Wednesday night they would conduct an internal investigation while the NRL awaited a report from the Roosters into the incident.

But she said it was disappointing and frustrating to see “one or two” incidents of antisocial behaviour continue each year.

Prof Lumby, who has worked pro bono with the NRL for a decade, does not believe the kind of behaviour displayed by Pearce is rife among NRL players.

OK, now that that’s out of the way, here’s the story: The video, which was obtained by A Current Affair 9, appears to show Australian rugby player Mitchell Pearce doing some extremely stupid things while drunk.

The footage, which was heavily promoted as “some of the most disgraceful behaviour you have ever seen from a footy star”, quickly went viral. Naturally, newspapers in Australia are having a field day.

That incident also cost Pearce his spot on the Blues’ line-up for State of Origin I that year.
