If you care to read back through the thread I think you will find different.

I have made a consistent arguement that Newton cheated by taking a performance enhancing substance to which he has now confessed. The report states this was self administered and IMO was designed to allow him to train and recover from injury.

This amounts to cheating and no team should be allowed to benefit from it.

This isnt an anti Wakefield view but a PRO RL one.

he acted without the clubs knowledge , what part of this are you baffled by?

Player Issue not a club one.

Hows that going to work then ?????? How far back do you want to go with previous cases. We could rewrite history.

The rules state the player, and player alone is responsible for whats in his body.

You have to take a stand at some point..this was a self administered performance enhancing stimulat

...not recreational or misprescribed or accidental as in other recent cases.

Clubs have to take some responsibility here for ensuring the game is clean and cheat free.

Sweeping it under the carpet or pretending its not happening is foolish. If points were at stake the clubs would make damn sure players were clean.

im all for this, so lets test every single squad member the day before the grand final and if either team has a player test positive then they forfit the game.

similarly the ccf!

thatll sort it
