I appreciate this honest story from Joel. Most of us have all played up in different ways, unfortunately someone gets caught eventually. He wasn't hurting anyone, a judgement error. Helluva yarn!! All the best to him for the future, plenty of time to find success in other areas.
Great pod. I remember talking with Phil O’Reilly in Hong Kong when he was playing for Japan under JK. His experience with Japanese legal system also pretty huge. Think he did the full 30 days. Nigerian tout was hitting us up in Tokyo at rwc 19 - guy had a bung eye. Last month in Bangkok had a Nigerian come up and offer me eternal bliss - also had a bung eye and I’m sure the exact same guy.,
Great to hear his story and also the reality of life in Japan. Completely different legal system here and one of my biggest fears here is getting pulled in for questioning by PC Plod-san and being held for days or weeks whether you are innocent or guilty, it's just how it is here. More overseas players based in J land need to hear his story. Great stuff as usual. 🎉🎉
@@whataladpodcastI’ve never done cocaine stayed in the Netherlands & all haha live in Auckland land of the snow but this just reinforces me not wanting to do it 😂
That was an incredible listen, What a legend Joel is for sharing that story!
Definitely a legend!!
This was so good. Good to see Joel in a good place now. What an inspiring tale from such a dark place.
All the players have lows in their career but that had to be the lowest of lows that one. Crazy!
Great podcast - real and honest Joel 👏

'Was there any psycho's in there?' Great question.

How hard it is to make it to the top level such as all blacks . Hundreds of great players but shows how good you have to be to get to next level
