[Disgraced NRL star Joel Monaghan expresses remorse over dog photo](http://www.news.com.au/national/appalling-photo-of-canberra-raider-prompts-nrl-investigation/story-e6frfkwr-1225947802222) I won’t link to the actual photograph, but it’s not good. After a number of scandals this year, the sport really didn’t need this. Apparently the player involved had been selected for a random drug test, but became confused when he was told to leave his sample in the lab. ---

I can’t even \*find \*the photograph to link to… ---

Ah, thanks. Well, unlike the OP I have no compunction about posting a link. Given what it is, this isn’t particularly graphic. It’s a pic of fully clothed man (with his pants pulled down just enough to free his privates) lying on the floor while a dog (apparently) licks his penis. Can’t see anything clearly. \*\*\*\*\* NSFW; POSSIBLY DISTURBING; MILD BESTIALITY CONTENT \*\*\*\*\* [Twitpic](http://twitpic.com/33fq4d) Anyway, for what it’s worth coming from someone who follows rugby not one bit, I couldn’t possibly care less. I doubt this guy is abusing his dog in any meaningful way, and I imagine the consequences for him will be completely, drastically disproportional to whatever harm he caused (or failed to cause) with his dumb decision. > [@Krav Manga](#): > > Apparently the player involved had been selected for a random drug test, but became confused when he was told to leave his sample in the lab. Ohhhhh, now I get it. Heh. I approve. ---

Makes sense to me. If you are keeping some freeloader dog alive what other things can he do for you - shit on the lawn, tear up some belongings. He isn’t going to cook you dinner or do a grease and oil change on the car. And many Rugby League players are amazingly stupid. ---

When I lived in Australia I remember rugby league players had to apologize for smearing excrement around hotel rooms they stayed in. This is just about on par. ---

I just needed to know if he was fucking the dog or beating the dog. ---

I found a pic where the dog’s face and the guy’s crotch have a huge green box superimposed on them. So…I guess the dog is licking his genitals… ---

I’m not gonna upload it to my photobucket, but if you act fast, I asked on 4chan /sp. Of course, someone delivered in minutes. It’s in this thread for the moment: [http://boards.4chan.org/sp/res/8536435](http://boards.4chan.org/sp/res/8536435) Joe ---

It’s also on bayimg, where I don’t think it can be taken down very easily. [spoiler][noparse][http://bayimg.com/PAaClaAdg[/noparse][/spoiler]](http://bayimg.com/PAaClaAdg%5B/noparse%5D%5B/spoiler%5D) ---

The player quit the club today and is pursuing a contract in the super league. I wonder if he’ll be able to come back or if his reputation has been forever Hopoated. ---
