Sailor was on bail for alcohol-related charges stemming from an incident in Sydney\u2019s city centre more than a year earlier when the latest arrest took place.<\/p>\n
He previously pleaded not guilty to charges of common assault, behaving in an offensive manner, refusing to leave a licensed premises and intimidation after allegedly attacking two men outside a bar in November 2024.<\/p>\n
Fernon said he understood Sailor was going through a difficult family situation, but that was no excuse for breaching his undertakings.<\/p>\n
He released Sailor on conditions that included seeing a doctor within seven days and accepting any recommended treatments, as well as an undertaking that he wouldn\u2019t be intoxicated in public.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you breach your bail conditions, you\u2019ll end up back in custody. That\u2019s just what happens,\u201d the magistrate said. \u201cThe responsibility is on you … just you.\u201c<\/p>\n
Sailor, who sat forward in his cell as he was told he would be allowed to leave, replied: \u201cYes sir. Thanks very much, appreciate it.\u201c<\/p>\n
He is due to face Wollongong Local Court on December 16 on the latest charges, while a hearing has been scheduled for February over the assault allegations.<\/p>\n
Sailor was a prolific try-scorer during his 17-year rugby career, including crossing the line 13 times in 37 games for the Wallabies and earning a start in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final.<\/p>\n
He finished his 222-game NRL career in 2009 after nine seasons with the Brisbane Broncos and two seasons with the St George Illawarra Dragons.<\/p>\n
