Drunk stars thrown out of club

A DAY after defending premiers the Bulldogs suffered their worst defeat in 70 years, four of the club's major stars travelled to the Central Coast to help a battling local club raise funds.
As fans struggle to find reasons for the reigning champions' poor showing this season, three of the Bulldogs' biggest stars were thrown out of Central Coast Leagues Club for being too intoxicated.
What was supposed to be a good deed for the local community turned ugly when the three were ejected by security staff at the club's nightspot Club Troppo.
Doormen from the nightclub have confirmed they were forced to escort Bulldogs Willie Mason, Mark O'Meley and Luke Patten off the premises after the trio were deemed too intoxicated around 2am.
"They looked to be intoxicated when they arrived and then around the 2 o'clock mark they were asked to leave due to intoxication," the employee said.
Obviously they were escorted out a back way but O'Meley and Willie Mason started kicking up a bit of a stink about it.
"No punches or anything were thrown but they were very aggressive. Willie Mason did have it in for one of the security guards, virtually the first one that got to him."
An eyewitness last night told The Daily Telegraph Patten was so inebriated security staff had to assist him out and into a taxi.
The latest NRL binge-drinking revelation comes just two days after fellow Bulldogs star Sonny Bill Williams was caught drink-driving on his P-plates.
Bulldogs CEO Malcolm Noad was made aware of the Gosford incident last Monday but it is uncertain whether he took action.

my question to you is:
should o'meley and mason have been allowed to play for the dogs tonight?
