CHIANG MAI – Disgraced Roosters captain Mitchell Pearce has been whisked away to Northern Thailand in the hope of getting his life back in order and escape the media spotlight following a video involving a dog.
Ironically, Pearce was in Thailand just a few weeks ago, where he posted pictures of himself enjoying some beverages in the popular tourist hotspot.
The disgraced Roosters captain has been a closely guarded secret after he fled Sydney to escape the media spotlight following THAT video involving a dog.

There will be no drinking on his return trip, where his mother, Terry, will be by his side for another week. The 26-year-old is expected to then go it alone in rehab for the next month before jetting back to the Harbour City in the hope of resuming his playing career.
It is understood Pearce is staying in the northern part of Thailand which is known for, among other things, being home to The Cabin – one of Asia’s top rehabilitation centres. The facility is described on its website as being “like a 5-star luxury Lanna-style tropical resort”, with the majority of its clients hailing from Australia.
The Roosters are hoping to have Pearce on deck as soon as possible this season, but we’re hearing the club is considering squeezing him out at its conclusion. The tri-colours haven’t had much luck with their playmakers of late – they poached Parramatta half Ryan Matterson as cover but he broke his leg in pre-season and is out for the year.
However, there could be some good news, with the Roosters deep in talks with Jackson Hastings about an extension. There’s a chance the deal could be done before the start of the season.
