It’s drugs that are the problem I think, saw some disturbing videos a few years on social media.


That could always have stemmed from head trauma.

Persistent headaches could lead to an addiction to painkillers and that in turn could lead to worse.

Of course he's made some bad choices and I'm not looking to defend him here, but I also wouldn't be surprised given everything that is coming out about head issues if that wasn't the start of a very bad journey for him.

It's not like he was known for it while he was over here like other players may have been.

You could be right but you’re clutching at straws imo and it would be a pretty naff excuse, there is also a big difference between players enjoying stuff on a weekend to becoming an addict to a really heavy drug and having their life ruined. Either way it’s horrible and a massive shame, by all accounts he was a model professional over here and kept his nose clean, was a great player too, I remember the first season at the JJB and it seemed like every week he would either make/score a long range break/try. Hard to have too much sympathy though.

Like you said...model pro. So something made him go from that to this. I'm sure he didn't just wake up one day and say "i'm gonna try ice"

The ex-Wigan winger has been in custody for six months as he faces 13 offences including aggravated possession of ice, supplying ice, producing marijuana, possessing ketamine as well as weapons charges.

If convicted, he could be jailed for up to 25 years, reports the Courier Mail.

He is due to make an application for bail at Queensland's Mackay Magistrates Court next Friday.

Problems with a videolink prevented him making the application as scheduled today.

Dallas became a huge fans' favourite during seven seasons with Wigan, during which he won the 2002 Challenge Cup.

The former Queensland and Australia star hung up his boots in 2006 and, in recent times, his life has taken a downward spiral.

A year ago, he pleaded guilty to three charges including the theft of a coffee table, worth around £360, from a furniture franchise in November 2019, reported the Daily Mercury.

Magistrate Damien Dwyer said at the time: "The last thing this community or anybody wants is for you to go to prison. Unless you can show me that the community is safe. This is your 10th [stealing offence] in less than 12 months."

Dallas' solicitor, Rosie Varley, told the court then that the dad-of-three had been receiving disability pension for the last 12 months.


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.

Terrible news.....

Not excusing him, but I wonder if all the head shots he took have any bearing. He got hit high more than any player i have ever watched.


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.

Always seemed a quiet lad so it’s surprising. He was an incredible player for us and the fans will never forget him placing his boots in the centre of the pitch after his last game. We can only hope whatever happens regards prison, that he can get his head sorted and get his life back on track.

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.
