Allora Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Speedster Brett Dallas has fallen on tough times and appeared before the Courts on charges of theft. Sad to see a player like Dallas who was the youngest player to turn out for Queensland in SOO. I hope he can turn it around and get on with his life. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6862291/NRL-legend-1million-contract-caught-stealing-board-shorts.html#comments Talent is secondary to whether players are confident.

ghost crayfish Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 With the speed he had I'm surprised he didn't get away! Still, sorry to hear. He was top quality and certainly produced some great moments for Queensland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Awful news. Hopefully he can turn his life around. It just shows nobody really knows what is around the corner and a few bad events can change everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Sad news. But hopefully with the right help he can turn his life around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4 of Us Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Mail online had to dig deep for that one. Not even bothered translating it from Aussie. http://www.wiganstpats.org Producing Players Since 1910 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DlEHARD Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Anyone who spied his twitter and instagram over the last couple years would know the bloke is in a very deep hole. Sad. DIEHARD / TITAN / MAROON / KANGAROO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should add in fairness to other papers that I think all papers are rubbish! And on topic, very sad for Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshire Setter Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 What actually happened to him? The report states he wanted to start an electrical business in 2007 but doesn’t carry the story through. Was he a victim of the GFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenGilesRL Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 That's a real shame I hope he can get help and maybe use his history in the game to be a coach at some level or conditioner or something. I'll never forget him running the ball out of defence STRAIGHT AT a defender. Didn't know what hit him. Can't remember who it was against but I was behind the posts so must have been either a Magic Weekend or a Cup Final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Clothesoff Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Interesting angle some taking here. I don’t imagine if this was one of the game’s perceived bad boys, this story would have gained the same reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not but maybe some recognise that he was never like that as a player and realise that for various reasons a lot of players fall on hard times after playing. He is obviously one of them.

Mister Ting Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 This is sad. I hope he get's through his problems. Learn to listen without distortion and learn to look without imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
