Karmichael Hunt faces end of rugby career if guilty
By Online Editors
Karmichael Hunt's prospects of remaining in Australian Rugby look tied to the outcome of his court hearing later this month. The Daily Telegraph reports that he will be let go if found guilty of drug possession.
Incoming Rugby Australia CEO Raelene Castle mirrored that sentiment in her first press conference.
“The reality is for young athletes, there’s a chance to make a mistake and be forgiven for that,” Castle said.
“But if you keep making mistakes, that makes the conversations much more challenging.
“As we work through that process we’ll look at what the landscape presents to us.”
The former NRL star was arrested in Brisbane's nightlife hotspot Fortitude Valley in the early hours of December 30 and charged with drug possession.
Media reports allege Hunt was captured trying to dispose of a stack of cash and four pills by police body cameras.
He has been stood down by the Reds until further details emerge following his hearing on January 29 where he will appear at Brisbane Magistrates Court.
Hunt is facing a second drug conviction if the charges are proven. Just weeks into his first season of Super Rugby, Hunt was embroiled in his first drug scandal in 2015 but was given a reprieve by the Reds.

REACH OUT TO TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY FOR A GREAT JOB
WhatsApp +15617263697
Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!
