That's not a good read
He was a great RL player but his life has been on a downward spiral for many years.

For those defending his multiple indiscretions I would ask the question of what you would do as a parent if he was supplying drugs to your son or daughter?

Not sure anyone has defended him. I'm certainly not. I'm trying to find out why a model pro turns into this. If it was a player known to be a d!ckhead you would understand.

OMG head shots are now the excuse for all of the wrong personal life choices made by an ex player that choose to supply and sell drugs?


Dallas sadly has history since his retirement from the game that indicate that his mental health wasn't in a very good state and made plenty of bad choices?

Perhaps Gareth Ellis and JP could get away with robbing a bank and selling drugs ?
They both had plenty of head knocks too?

Are they obsessively posting for hours about government mind control? That's where Brett Dallas appears to be in his life. Regardless of the cause, it's pretty obvious he's far from well.

Very quiet lad. He lived next door but 2 to me and it was 12 months before I knew. It was only when I saw Brian Carney outside his house that I noticed. Probably says more about me than him though.

If you have followed Brett's story for a few years now you see just how disturbed he is. When he was caught shoplifting underpants we all said what a shame and then forgot about it. Once upon a time we just talked about self destructive personalities but now we are starting to see how some of our heroes are becoming casualties of the game. No I am not excusing otherwise we would have to do the same for everyone who goes off the rails but now we know that making simple binary judgements often puts us wide of the mark. I cannot stand the influence of drugs in society but there is a lot more going on in Brett's head than a bad lad making poor choices.

Surely being a curtain twitcher youd have seen him before 12 months Pemps??

Whoa... back off... Wind your chin in.

I never suggested that head shots were the cause of his behaviour, i merely suggested that there might be a link. And if you read my post you will see that i clarify this...

Your comments about Ellis and JP are banal and childish...

It seems from what I'm reading that Dallas has some difficult issues. Sadly, some folk are a real challenge when it comes to trying to help save them from themselves. Hope he can rediscover the discipline he used when playing RL accept any help given, and turn a corner.
Great player on the field, who will now be remembered for what he did after his playing days.

His Twitter is off the charts. I was going to paste to here but I won’t. I cannot see what good it would do.

Great player. Do the club keep a check on players who depart these shores for a time/at all?

Heartbreaking that it’s come to this. I just hope he avoids a lengthy sentence and sorts himself out good and proper

His social media doesn't present him as being in a very good place at all. The odd thing is it seems to be a very sudden switch (particularly on Instagram).

I hope he gets the help he desperately needs.

Very sad to hear about what has happen to him as he was one of the many good wingers signed by the club over the years.

So sad for any member of a family to fall into the present day life of drug and indeed alcohol abuse.

I wish him and his family all the best for the future.

And there should be no comments about not feeling sorry for him, as it could happen to anyone and any family.
