MITCHELL Pearce had been nominated for the NRL Favourite Son award prior to his Kings Cross incident, an award that — among other things — goes to "a player whose integrity and reputation makes the game more appealing to women."
Pearce was named as the Sydney Roosters' Favourite Son nominee ahead of this weekend's NRL Women in League round.
The nomination came only days before he was arrested by police for a boozy night out on Saturday night.

Each club nominated a player "whose attitude and character has an outstanding influence on the game. The recipient is a player whose integrity and reputation makes the game more appealing to women."
The nominees have been cut back to just four — Pearce was not announced as a finalist — with the winner to be announced at a Women in League lunch in Sydney.
PEARCE STOOD DOWN, WOMAN REVEALED
The 16 Favourite Sons are: Pearce (Roosters), Corey Parker (Brisbane), Sam Perrett (Bulldogs), Brent Tate (Cowboys), Brett Morris (Dragons), Ben Smith (Parramatta), Jarrod Mullen (Knights), Kevin Kingston (Penrith), Brett White (Canberra), Matt Ballin (Manly), Michael Gordon (Cronulla), Ryan Hoffman (Storm), Ashley Harrison (Titans), Manu Vatuvei (Warriors) and Aaron Woods (Wests Tigers). Souths didn't wish to nominate a player.

Pearce was nominated for his on-field ability and credentials.
An NRL release also said he earned a nomination for being "a key contributor within the community, regularly visiting locals schools to deliver the club's 'Roosters Against Racism' program and can also be regularly sighted at local junior leagues clubs and community groups like Nippers."
His efforts though have now been tarnished after being kicked-out of two Sydney establishments last weekend.
The four finalists are Kingston, Ballin, Vatuvei and Smith.
NRL chief executive Dave Smith will launch the Women In League round at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in The Rocks. Former Test prop Petero Civoniceva will be the MC.

About 230 guests will attend the lunch. Others to attend include Canterbury chief executive Raelene Castle, Men of League CEO Corene Strauss and Broncos director Katie Bickford.
The annual Women in League round celebrates the enormous contribute women make to all levels of rugby league each year.
Just a fortnight ago, Mark Deweerd, NRL Interim general manager, community, culture and diversity, spoke glowingly about the nominees.
"Congratulations to all the Harvey Norman Favourite Son nominees whose integrity and leadership make us proud of the men they are off the field as much what they do on the field," he said.
"Their efforts and attitude inspire women to be part of the rugby league family at all levels."
