Blake Ferguson and Josh Dugan are idiots. Complete idiots. Who told them that “yes, you two should definitely reunite again on the town on a Sunday night, nothing possibly would go wrong”?

What on earth were they thinking?

There is no question that Ferguson is going to deserve any punishment that the NRL give out to him.

The police have formally laid charges, so it is fairly safe to suggest that his Origin days are over, and the Raiders will be seriously thinking whether he is worth handing over a pay check to each fortnight.

Just because Josh Dugan didn’t get charged or has avoided being a complete tool doesn’t mean he should be escaping scrutiny either.

This is a man in whom the (glorious) Dragons decided to take the plunge and offer a lifeline for him, when everyone would have understood if no club offered him a contract.

And yet, he thought he would meet up with his best mate, and partner in crime and hit the juice on a Sunday evening.

These two boys, yes boys, have serious problems handling their turps and have repeatedly abused the good faith others have shown in them for their own selfish and self absorbed behaviour.

One would say that what Ferguson has done is inevitable.

That statement is certainly not meant to be seen as attacking the man per se, but more attacking the man’s character when he repeatedly binges at completely inappropriate times.

Perhaps I’m rushing to judgement, and perhaps Ferguson will be proven innocent.

Either way, both boys will really need to start thinking about their behaviour and their actions, and most importantly the consequences of their actions.

Dugan clearly hasn’t. Ferguson certainly will.

Sack them both.

Perhaps then when they aren’t earning 400k a year, they might learn the value in responsible behaviour.
