Disgraced Roosters star Mitchell Pearce arrived at Sydney airport this morning, after reportedly undergoing treatment at a facility in Thailand. The 26-year-old was met by his parents, and told reporters:

“I’m a bit jetlagged but it’s been a really challenging four weeks. It’s something that I really needed to do and the hard work starts for me now. I’ve got a lot of people to earn respect back off and first and foremost I want to spend today with my family.”

Pearce’s incident occurred on Australia Day, after a club-sanctioned harbour cruise. He was at a private party when he picked up the host’s Maltese Terrier and proceeded to mimic sex acts on it, telling her “I wanna fuck a dog, I don’t even care anymore.”

He is likely to face a six-match suspension and a $50,000 fine, and told reporters this morning that he’ll “cop any punishment on the chin.”
