Breakers player allegedly stole alcohol from Perth Arena

"We were leaving the Perth Arena and I asked the staff if I could take a bottle of water. They said, 'yeah, sure' and then the guy next to the lady said, 'do you want to take some beers?'.

"I didn't take any myself but some of the guys said, 'yeah' and took some. Then a second load of our team came through and saw some guys in front with some drinks and they said, 'can we take some'.

"The guy was on the phone at this time and said, 'let me ask my manager'. He hung up the phone and said, 'yep, that's fine' and they took some. So there definitely, 100 per cent, was nothing taken without asking, or stolen – I can vouch for that with my own eyes and ears, I saw the whole thing."

According to the link Webster pulled so hard on the dude's real beard that tufts of hair came out. Ouch.

Why would a NZ Breaker steal alcohol?

Must be the only man in NZ to not operate his own perfectly legal small scale alcohol still. It’s a regular industry there.

I think we need to remember Webster's character when he offers his character endorsement for the team.

Drug taking.
Multiple assault convictions.
Alleged infidelity.

What's concerning is Walsh thinks everything is OK since the bill has been settled.

Can he be anymore ignorant of the underlying issues?

Walsh seems like he has his own problems tbh. His behaviour is attention-seeking, unpredictable and unmeasured. Why on earth would you bring up Fitchett and drag his name through the mud? Or Ta Rangi or Illi, all on completely unrelated matters to the alcohol incident? What owner has such poor self-control he feels the need to start a heated argument in the middle of a game?

It's really simple. If your culture is so brilliant, why can not a single quote or reference be found to credit it? If there are so many ongoing issues then it cannot just be other people's faults. The problem clearly lies with Walsh too but on record he doesn't seem to realise this.

I can't wait for what they get up to next.

Agree on Basketball Forever, absolute junk. Please nobody publicise their garbage here again

But, but what about that 36ers development player last year?

the Nbl is behind all this, they're desperate for a Sydney-Melbourne grand final. it's a CONSPIRACY!

"They're taking the piss, surely?" Literally taking the puss

Not funny

I bet someone from the Wildcats own the nightclub where Rice was arrested too. Sneaky ferals!

I bet someone from the Wildcats snuck on the flight back and served them alcohol there too. Ferals!!

I wonder how much duty free alcohol they buy during the course of a season

Not everyone can be top of the table, they have had shit luck with injuries, Walsh not the fault for that. Rice was a numb scull but all clubs are not perfect. So many knockers, most of it is all minor shit.

whinging wildcats

Agree with Mock

Clickbait CRAP

Breakers have been trash since Walsh arrived.

Leave NZ alone, there good for the league and the new owners will be fine.

Nothing to see here, if you actually read the article. Yawn.

My guess would be Glen Rice Jr.

They're taking the piss, surely?
