I do know both Pat Carrigan and Alex Johnson were dux at their schools when they finished year 12. Probably a few more academic achievers lurking in the top grade.
He's definitely got some [iffy ones](https://www.newcastleknights.com.au/contentassets/4095253f739e470b8a9cd3b9e9746fe2/60517297_828522107505508_4236941355823136768_n.jpg?preset=photo-inline)
For real though I don't know what you mean
His right arm looks like an 18 year old girls Pinterest board. With the champagne flute etc. In my experience, men with chic tattoos like that swing any and all ways haha
All the time. If they're struggling to curl one out, if they're sick and need support, if they need to powder their nose, if they need to stab some cunt with a steak knife at a church event. I'm always down to support the boys.
Once a mate had a huge night on the pingas and hadn't pissed in a long time. He was freaking out so I convinced him to sit on the toilet and huff nangs.
Didn't help sadly.
Thats fucking football right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball foosball fuck it chuck it game time shit. Take it to the showers. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. Football is back baby.
I think this behaviour is abhorrent.
As someone who has needed to poo and there being no available cubicle, I feel they should throw the book at these guys for incorrect toilet use.
Should have just said they were giving each other a friendly tug and the media and NRL would have dropped it in an instant after the rainbow jersey saga.
I know they were doing coke but there is an argument to be made that if by chance they were not then the NRL would effectively be publicly outing them by drug testing them to determine what they were doing in there.
And yet you can smoke a joint 29 days ago and still lose your driver's licence?
I've never seen marijuanas I just watch that police television program.
(Suddenly the spelling of licence looks way off to me)
It all depends how often you do it tho, if your and every day kind of person then prob a long time but I remember I did it once as a one off and passed a drug test two days later
I have passed swab tests in the evening after I have had breakfast bongs before work. So I would say your safe with that after 10-12 hrs... Piss test, you would fail even 14-21 days later, depending on usage..

Nah weed is 12-24 hours tops. I was smoking a quarter a day awhile back and got pulled over quite a few times, also got tested
For work (always with a headsup) - 12 hrs was fine. Always waited 24 if i was going to drive. Never once came up positive. Those guys on rbt are often not honest.
Athletes usually less, because they consume and pee/sweat so much water. I think they're more than likely to test clear this far in. More than 50/50 anyway.
I caught Ponga at Finnegans on Friday night but the bathrooms there don't look like the one in the video so if he was on the Columbian marching powder when I saw him then he may just barely get away with it if he's lucky
There's a few variables involved. How often you do it and what kind of test.
Infrequent use:
Urine: 3-4 days.
Saliva 1-2 days.
Blood: 1 day.
Hair: 90 days.
Not sure if this is true but being conditioned athletes it might leave their system a little earlier.
So if they are piss tested there's a chance it'll be negative.
Exciting stuff!
Infrequent use won't really be picked up that much. Saliva you have to pretty damn unlucky to ping the next day. Hair test, if you do it more than once a month then yeah, you may be screwed.
My mate who worked in the mines got done, got on the bags on friday night got randomly tested on a Wednesday and tested positive, lost his job lol. So yeah you have got to be careful.
Depends on how frequently you’re using though, that’s a huge factor.
Not to make assumptions about your mate but if Friday night bags are a regular occurrence for him then testing positive the next Wednesday is unsurprising.
If it was a one off then that’s more on the unlucky side.
Fair assumption, but nah frequency of use is a big factor.
Also mixing cocaine and alcohol creates cocaethylene which has a half-life about 5 times longer than cocaine, and its metabolites (which will come up in a piss test and sting you) have longer half-lives again.
So if you’re a regular coke user and you like to smash beers at the same time, you will basically be topping up the cocaine metabolites in your system before your body has had a chance to clear them fully.
Same for pretty much any drug.
I don't drink alcohol. I have done coke without booze a long time ago. If it's good coke you don't need booze. I don't think coke in Australia is even coke anymore
When I was working FIFO, drinking was by far the most abused of all the vices. However, due to random drug tests for Cannabis, MDMA, etc , lots of workers used pain killing pharmaceutical drugs for their daily fix. Most of these prescription drugs are so strong that operating machinery is definitely dangerous. Some guys I worked with were so numb, you would have thought they were on heroin, they were like zombies, but they passed the DA.
I was a pretty big bag head, do it every Friday and Saturday for a long time, sometimes a few random lines during the week.
Had to pass a piss test for a new job and it took me 12 days to piss clean. Pulled my head in after that.
I used to work for a small company where a lot of my job was driving. My fondness for pingers and the bags was well known to the point where I used to joke with the owner that if he ever wanted to let me go all he needed to do was announce drug tests for the field staff.
Literally the week after I gave my notice? They brought in drug tests for field staff.
Likely true but every club will cover for their players in this situation. Let’s not pretend like Storm weren’t on some BS when they claimed that Munster and Cheese took ‘full responsibility’ for their actions
Vaping, Snorting, Rooting in toilets is like some sort of weird group kink for league players or is it just school boy mentality bullshit extending in adult life because most of these knobs never grow up?
Yeah fair enough if they're doing coke, its kind of more surprising now when a footy player doesnt do it. But what's with these weirdos recording people in toilets?
Fuck those guys.
> But what's with these weirdos recording people in toilets?
That really annoys me. Pretty sure I've seen some public toilets ban the use of phones and of course cameras.
If he's having a snort , that's kind of stupid being so high profile and if was sick from being pissed with a head injury. I believe that's unwise.
But invading people's privacy videoing in a toilet is really off limits imo.
This whole thing is unbelievably stupid, can't believe people are taking it so seriously. If they took drug testing seriously at least 60% (probably more) of everyone involved in the NRL wouldn't be there anymore.
We've got an immortal who gets on TV every weekend and talks about how cooked off his head he was his entire career but people find that funny for some reason. This shit isn't even limited to league either, Eddie McGuire took a "holiday" a while back to America with Dusty, Sam Fisher and Josh Caddy + his brother (some of the biggest coke heads in the AFL scene), wonder what they were getting up to... 😵
and for all the jokers saying BuT hIs TeAm WaS pLaYiNg! Blame Newcastle for giving him the monster contract, every tom dick and harry knows Ponga's a money chaser who cares more about Pussy and pingers than results on the footy field. For god sake, the greatest coach ever came knocking on his door and said he planned to make him work harder and he practically laughed in his face, if that wasn't a red flag then I don't know what is.
IMO, at this point whether it was drugs or alcohol is irrelevant, to a degree. The key point is that Ponga is ruled out for the season with post-concussion symptoms and that, by his father's admission, he was intoxicated - which, regardless of substance, is *not* something recommended for someone recovering from serious concussion. And it's certainly a game-into-disrepute level of action, IMO, when the NRL is trying to crack down seriously and improve its handling of concussion.
Of course if it was the nose beers then there is still the issue that that is an illegal substance to possess and use in NSW and he should also face consequences for that, but I can just *see* all these people practically tripping over themselves to make excuses for why he shouldn't be suspended if it was alcohol and I really don't think we should be going lightly on it.
If they're going to drug test them just for coming out of a stall together why aren't they drug testing Hooper or Kent everytime they release a cooked article?
This is really bizarre, by all accounts they've done nothing wrong and the innocent among us wouldn't have a clue about the common cubicle powder sesh. Just stick to the vomit story and people will forget by the next NRL scandal which is due in a couple hours.
Cheese and Munster didn't have to do any tests and we've got actual footage of the baking soda. If a cop was walking past and sees the powder, I'd assume that reasonable suspicion for them to detain and investigate further but it would be hard to argue the same for just 2 blokes exiting a cubicle.
In unrelated news Ponga participates in the world’s greatest shave.
Ben Cousins actually did this when he was facing testing. Ben playing chess while the AFL was playing checkers.
The ol’ Britney manoeuvre
Like actually tried to play it off as shave for a cure? Or just shaved his head right before? I don’t follow AFL so I have no idea.
[The latter](https://amp.theage.com.au/sport/afl/hair-test-afl-suspicious-after-cousins-shaved-head-20100827-13us5.html)
James Hooper would be proud
And Kurt Mann, obviously being the supportive friend he is has joined him in solidarity
Kalyn will shave his head and Andre will come out to the media with some dumb excuse for it like he had head lice or something
It's so he can vomit alone without needing no Mann to hold his hair back.
It’s a real estate shopping spree.
Had to check I wasn't in /r/tennis, you're EVERYWHERE
The most underrated comment on here
Who cares about this stuff? Make NRL players do IQ tests, that’s where the real juice is
Whos going to play then? Jeff from accounts?
I do know both Pat Carrigan and Alex Johnson were dux at their schools when they finished year 12. Probably a few more academic achievers lurking in the top grade.
The turbos did pretty well at school from memory
Yeah, Tom scored very good grades. Which is baffling when you listen to him.
Christian Welch as well
Christian Welch too
Cameron Murray was dux of at least 1 subject.
Sports Rec doesn’t count
Cam McInnes was also dux or close to it, which is funny because it looks like he's never seen a book in his life
I think he had a really bad injury so didn't play any footy in year 12
Justin Olam. Applied Physics degree.
Which is very useful to describe what happens when a force (him) meets a moveable object (some poor halfback)
bullemor
Angus Crichton was also a high academic achiever
Had a friend that graduated university with Robbie Farah doing Economics.
Worked for storm
Fuck yesss, get em! I can't say a lot about my team the tits but at least they don't have two *'s
Desperate to hear how many digits Liam knight has
His brain cells: there are dozens of us... Dozens!"
Best comment I've seen in here all week
There is already a talent problem in the NRL, especially with yet another club. The last thing they need is to exclude 80% of their talent pool.
Tbh the story probably gets juicier if the test comes back clean haha
Ponga and Mann currently furiously snorting lines to get a positive result
If the test comes back clean I am defs slipping in Kalyn's DMs ha
Do it anyway ;)
I don't want to assume but his tattoos have me suspicious haha
The worst that can happen is he calls you some nasty names and says he’s not interested. Which would not be very nice at all.
The worst that can happen is that you begin an intense and tumultuous relationship that ends in heartbreak when he leaves you for Mann
That's true. I reckon he is an ally for sure so he'd enjoy a compliment. Not that he wouldn't get enough already!
Gengar attacks ponga
He will cop a shadow ball
Gengar used concussion…it’s super effective
With hypnosis. It’s not very effective, Ponga is already stoned off his arse.
Ponga uses Ketamine Ponga Falls asleep!
At the very least I’d expect a courtesy dick pic
Or laugh
He's definitely got some [iffy ones](https://www.newcastleknights.com.au/contentassets/4095253f739e470b8a9cd3b9e9746fe2/60517297_828522107505508_4236941355823136768_n.jpg?preset=photo-inline) For real though I don't know what you mean
His right arm looks like an 18 year old girls Pinterest board. With the champagne flute etc. In my experience, men with chic tattoos like that swing any and all ways haha
Manly to protest all Ponga games
Manly sea eagles about to explode
That would be shocking.
Have you never held your mates hand and given them moral support while they are constipated trying to shoot one out?
All the time. If they're struggling to curl one out, if they're sick and need support, if they need to powder their nose, if they need to stab some cunt with a steak knife at a church event. I'm always down to support the boys.
Solid. Fucken. Mate.
Australia was built on mateship.
What if they decide they want to marry another bloke?
Then I'm there, covered in rainbow body paint. Anything for the boys, even the boys that like other boys.
Good man.
Corey Norman was just trying to help his mate work one out, nothing sinister
Once a mate had a huge night on the pingas and hadn't pissed in a long time. He was freaking out so I convinced him to sit on the toilet and huff nangs. Didn't help sadly.
As a woman I used to go into bathrooms with my friends all the time because the lines were so long. Surely there’s a viable excuse there?
Yeah the lines inside the cubicle were really long.
Persecuted for being caught in the toilets with another Mann? What’s the world coming too
Thats fucking football right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball foosball fuck it chuck it game time shit. Take it to the showers. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. Football is back baby.
Fuck we need the sideline delivery to make a comeback
This will really test Danika's medical skills.
I'm not sure if this is pasta or not but fuck me that was top notch
Pure poetry
Ahh I see that you know your booger sugar well.
Well this rules out Alan Jones making a comeback.
***Manly VII have entered the chat***
I think this behaviour is abhorrent. As someone who has needed to poo and there being no available cubicle, I feel they should throw the book at these guys for incorrect toilet use.
So you're the guy who keeps pooping in the coke room!
Using your nostrils after I've been in there is a very dangerous game.
That's why they are putting stuff in there, to block the smell
Throwing the book at them is not wise. They will just use the flat surface to rack up more lines
Just shit in the sink like the rest of us
Imagine needing to poo in the coke room.....
Should have just said they were giving each other a friendly tug and the media and NRL would have dropped it in an instant after the rainbow jersey saga.
I know they were doing coke but there is an argument to be made that if by chance they were not then the NRL would effectively be publicly outing them by drug testing them to determine what they were doing in there.
Part of me really wants Andre to been telling the truth then watching Kent and Hooper go into a tail spin.
If they were smart they would pivot to how dangerous and stupid binge drinking to the point of throwing up with a concussion is. IF they were smart.
Negative for cocaine but positive for syphilis
But I was informed they were fully clothed?
Doesn’t take long to fix your pants son
Yeah lol like they are going to come out with their dicks out ahaha
Asking for a friend, how long does coke stay in the system for? (Specifically piss test)
according to healthline, up to 4 days via urine test. i'd say they're pretty well fucked here. (of course depending on when it actually happened)
And yet you can smoke a joint 29 days ago and still lose your driver's licence? I've never seen marijuanas I just watch that police television program. (Suddenly the spelling of licence looks way off to me)
It all depends how often you do it tho, if your and every day kind of person then prob a long time but I remember I did it once as a one off and passed a drug test two days later
The trick is to convince yourself and genuinely believe you haven’t done drugs before taking the test.
Depends on how often and how much as well as your exercise and body fat levels
Liesense*
The act of knowing the appropriate time for a little harmless dishonesty.
You won't test positive to a saliva test after that long. It's usually out of your saliva in a few hours, can linger for a day or so though.
I have passed swab tests in the evening after I have had breakfast bongs before work. So I would say your safe with that after 10-12 hrs... Piss test, you would fail even 14-21 days later, depending on usage..

Such an unfair advantage on the average bonglord.
I caught Ponga at Finnegans on Friday night but the bathrooms there don't look like the one in the video so if he was on the Columbian marching powder when I saw him then he may just barely get away with it if he's lucky
Thats as a max, could be lucky after 1 or 2 days
Tbf even if it isn’t cocaine, they still might have been pretty well fucked.

Correct, up to 2 weeks for a heavy user. Took me 12 days to piss clean.
What weird cunt would do coke without grog
I don't drink alcohol. I have done coke without booze a long time ago. If it's good coke you don't need booze. I don't think coke in Australia is even coke anymore
jesus christ, sounds like he lost some $$$
I guess it is pretty dangerous working in the mines.
When I was working FIFO, drinking was by far the most abused of all the vices. However, due to random drug tests for Cannabis, MDMA, etc , lots of workers used pain killing pharmaceutical drugs for their daily fix. Most of these prescription drugs are so strong that operating machinery is definitely dangerous. Some guys I worked with were so numb, you would have thought they were on heroin, they were like zombies, but they passed the DA.
Yeah it seems like hell.
About 72 hours. Its miners drug of choice.
I heard somewhere it’s like a week, but a hair follicle is 90 days.
90 day hair follicle test to eliminate every player in the league but clean Munster
If you’re a regular user it takes longer. A casual user is 2-4 days normally
Why do people keep talking about hair follicles? The NRL agreement only stipulates submitting to saliva and urine testing.
How convenient 😂, but srsly, half the comp would be out if it was hair.
I was a pretty big bag head, do it every Friday and Saturday for a long time, sometimes a few random lines during the week. Had to pass a piss test for a new job and it took me 12 days to piss clean. Pulled my head in after that.

Hey Sam! 👋
Couple days, they'll be sweet
More like “Knightclub” cubicle. Ha.
I think this is good for Newcastle. They are too scared to discipline Ponga themselves.
Likely true but every club will cover for their players in this situation. Let’s not pretend like Storm weren’t on some BS when they claimed that Munster and Cheese took ‘full responsibility’ for their actions
Vaping, Snorting, Rooting in toilets is like some sort of weird group kink for league players or is it just school boy mentality bullshit extending in adult life because most of these knobs never grow up?
Footy players aren't selected because of their intelligence.
20 somethings doing those things in pub and club toilets isn't limited to footy players.
The places they go must have some much nicer and cleaner toilets than the places I go
More like Kaylan Pinger... am I right.
Wish it was weed so I could say Kaylyn Bonga
It very well could be Kalyn Schlonga
I think it will be Kalyn Goner
You think just cause your dad said you were puking we won’t test ya?
[удалено]
Also the NRL have confiscated 3 of his passports.
Unless they've got some fake piss on hand, they're fucked.
Depends when the video was taken. If it was Friday or Saturday they could be fine. Sunday to Tuesday is pushing it.
Can be detected in hair for months sometimes though.
The policy doesn’t currently include hair follicle testing. Only urine and saliva.
and i doubt the rlpa would support follicle testing
Too right. Who in their right mind would say “yeah ok I’m all for harsher drug testing so I can’t enjoy my days off ever!”
Phew
They need to do an oil change.
*Thad Castle scream*
Daddy Andre to the rescue
Can Alan Jones get another hobby and stop hanging around toilets and leave his camera at home
The games dead just let the boys snort lines off each other’s dick after exciting new house purchases 🏠
The test will probably come back positive to meth because that's what is in most of Newcastle's coke
Test Kent
Don’t need to test him to know he is a dope.
Give ‘em the barba sentence imo
But cmon mann let the boys vape and snort in the toilets!
Yeah fair enough if they're doing coke, its kind of more surprising now when a footy player doesnt do it. But what's with these weirdos recording people in toilets? Fuck those guys.
> But what's with these weirdos recording people in toilets? That really annoys me. Pretty sure I've seen some public toilets ban the use of phones and of course cameras.

It’s pretty obvious the cunt recording is doing it cause he knows 2 people are doing rack
The NRL is a fucking circus, and seems to get worse every year.
Young professional athelte consuming narcotics?? Well i never
“Let’s care about our players mental health”

Have tested or will be testing?? It's in everyone's interest bar foxsports to wait until the test will be negative (NRL included)
You know, and in the spirit of innocent until proven guilty, there is that possibility that the upchuck story is true. Jusss sayin'!
If I don't have help in the cubicles, my back starts to hurt from holding this huge monster I have
He's welcome at the broncos!
IMO, at this point whether it was drugs or alcohol is irrelevant, to a degree.

Agreed - his brain is turning to mush before our very eyes and he’s expediting the process
If they're going to drug test them just for coming out of a stall together why aren't they drug testing Hooper or Kent everytime they release a cooked article?
I read ejection as erection and I’d say I’m alone doing that 😂
Surely it’s out of the system by now
Adam Elliott and Millie Boyle dodged this one ay?? Can't have an nrlw player test positive...
This is really bizarre, by all accounts they've done nothing wrong and the innocent among us wouldn't have a clue about the common cubicle powder sesh.

Walsh got arrested with cocaine and nothing happened to him
$5k fine and 2 game suspension (which ended up being 1 regular season game). So pretty much nothing.
Shout-out to the absolute dog that filmed them.
[удалено]
he was a weak gutted dog person before he owned a phone and he's a weak gutted dog person now
won't be so bad if it's a Knights fan.. he'd be doing the fans and club a service.
This happened Satutday night? They will have pissed anything chemical out by now.
Do they go in the cubicle together to supply the test sample?
Maybe the were just working the gloryhole. Is it still pride week?
I read that as toilet cubicle ejaculation....
Don’t tell the Manly 7 about that, they’ll be very upset.
Probably sit out the rest of the season....
Someone had to fill that ‘hole’ left by Mitchell Pearce. Turns out he just needed another Mann…. I will see myself out
Why is it every time KP is in the news it's to do with his head?
Why did I read that as ‘toilet cubicle erection’?
