Very true. An idiot, but at least he hasn't gone down the 'wrong cough medicine/supplement fron trainer' rubbish most come out with.

The words 'growth hormone' may worry a few people tonight.

This is true!

As far as I'm concerned this should be the end of the matter.

Agreed, the lad make a mistake, a very costly one for which he will dearly pay. It's regretful and should send a message to other pro players that eventually you will get caught.

For me, he's apologised, held his hands up and admitted his mistake. That'll do for me, we all make mistakes and should pay the penalty for which he will.

It's a real shame but these things do happen. Let's move on and concentrate on our future

I'm just relieved he's owned up now and spared the club and his team mates any further embarrassment. He'll have plenty of time to reflect on what he's done, but as others have said, we need to draw a line under it and move on.

To be fair to Newton his statement is an honest acknowledgement for what he has done. I much prefer his courage in accepting fault than the tennis players and RU types who do drugs and throw lots of expensive lawyers and fancy excuses to cover up their wrong doing.

Whatever you may think of Newton he was a dedicated and hard working professional who reached the top in his RL career. Hopefully people will let him be.

Why should we be fair? Was he being fair trying to obtain an unfair advantage over his team mates and opponents.
He's put his hand up! Ok he could have strung it out but he knew his career was over the minute he was caught!

True, but there's at least a little bit of honesty in there. He'll get a 2 year ban, and that'll be the end of his career. In the end, it's his decision to take whatever he took, and now he faces the consequences.

We, as a sport, should be proud we catch these people and do not sweep them under the carpet and glad that the RFL is paying for blood testing to show up these 'cheats' to reduce the number getting away with it.

Terry, Terry, Terry


you did us so much damage playing against us...

Fool Fool Fool, I remember how we felt when Jamie Bloem was caught at Donny. He will get some media work later just as Mr Bloem has.
Hope things go well for Wakey and they Kick on from here but not too far as my 2nd team are the Giants. Best wishes from Johnny from Donny living in Giant Land

He's was good on Radio Leeds as he was a player. He's a referee now, imagine Mr. Newton as the man in the middle.
