Warrington Wolves • Unprofessionalism

Warrington players in drinking/smoking shocker.
I've been going into town centre/S. Heath pubs since the mid 80's, and have regularly seen Wire players either
a. enjoying a few drinks
b. p155ed
c. hammered to Ollie Read levels.
I've got nothing against professional sportsmen enjoying a couple of snifters (Brian Clough even encouraged them BEFORE games), BUT, these are supposed to be exactly that. PROFESSIONAL. Hanley didn't drink at all. His career didn't turn out too bad, did it? Pity a few of these "playboys", don't take a leaf out of his book.
Many top athletes and sportsmen and sportswomen are teetotal because they recognise that alcohol is a poison to the body, they want to be in the best physical health they can be, and they have the intelligence and self control. Something lacking in RL players generally.
Maybe Russell was still vexed when he was trying to gather that kick.
RE Hanley I read that Sinfield never drank either.
