Mitchell Pearce will have himself a serious case of losers right now, the skipper of the Sydney Roosters rugby league team in hot water after a video of his lewd behaviour went viral.

In that video up top, filmed on Australia Day and featuring Pearce and some of his Roosters teammates, it is clear that he is absolutely off his trolley. Not that anyone is offering that up as an excuse, as he makes unwanted advances towards a female and then fakes sex with her dog.

The story is front page news in Australia with the Sydney Morning Herald describing the day in great detail:

The Bondi boys had been in a jovial mood for the previous two hours at the popular Double Bay establishment – “they had a sing, a dance and a drink” said one onlooker – but it had appeared the night had ended without incident.

While most called it a night, Pearce could not resist the chance to kick on – first at the Hotel Bondi and then at a private residence. Soon afterwards he was drunk and shirtless, captured on film in scenes that would prove a bonanza for A Current Affair and those who sold the vision. With him were Brisbane recruits Dale Copley and Jayden Nikorima, the latest unwitting footballing victims of Sin City…

Pearce was captured on camera drunk and simulating a sexual act with a dog. One of the women also claimed he had urinated on the couch. When it comes to rugby league atrocities, this was a boxed trifecta.

Within minutes, the memes began circulating on social media and the Roosters were in damage control. As is protocol with such incidents, the club has the first right to investigate and sanction its players, with the NRL able to come in over the top should the punishments be deemed insufficient…

Pearce, one of the few players without an agent, is single after parting with his girlfriend. After being stood down from training on Thursday morning he sought the counsel of a trusted mate, waiting to learn whether his latest indiscretion is a career-ending one.

When was the last time you saw a South African rugby player in the papers or on TV for something like this? We’ll leave Joost out, he had long since retired when his sex tape video grabbed headlines, meaning that nothing really comes to mind.

If it’s not strapping bombs to kangaroos it’s pissing yourself and fake humping a dog – control yourselves Down Under man.
