Here's a thought.
Newton was injured late last season. What if he ill advisedly took some "drug" or "medicine" to help him with the injury.

Remember it has happened before with Kieron Cunningham, so until the actual charges / results are confirmed it is probably better we keep our powder dry.

Let's wait and see before hanging him out to dry.

What does this mean for wakefield then, its obviously bad publicity, but will there be a fine or anything?

I doubt it - there's not a lot that a club can do to interfere with what a player does in his own time, Trinity arn't responsible unless they have administered the medicine that contains the substance.

I really hope it is a mix up, it'd be a real shame for Terry to end a long and successful career in disgrace.

Well judging by the recent RFL discipliniary decisions if he played for Warrington he would be let off.

Thought Boots N All was so bad its laughable.

Not any player or any club. This board will not become a kangaroo court for any individual or for any club.

Any posts which could, in any circumstances, be deemed to cross this line, will be removed - and the poster either warned or banned themselves.

No leniency!

I have heard judge judy is recruting she wants an assistant I'm going to put your name forward TRB. But can you part with Ted? Thats the question?

Talking sense on RLFANS, it'll never catch on.

I don't think it really matters either way, one club or another, if he has a charge to answer and we DON'T know that at this stage then it looks bad on the game in general.

People keep going on about the RL familly and then you read some of the bitter bile thats been posted on here by a few poor trolls. Trouble is that everything said by other teams fans gets taken the wrong way, and any sensible discussuion breaks down.

Yep. Good to see they have gone.

Whilst this is a serious subject we still need to remember the fantastic start to the season we have had
(despite the pie fiasco! )

There is still a lot of great stuff going on, and until we are aware of the full facts its business as usual!

Well I think that's the first time I've heard Super League and certainly (table toppers) Wakefield get mentioned on the BBC Breakfast show.
