News Former NRL player Jarrod Mullen suspended

[Nice Beaver]

Not having a shot at him, but although he has been a good player, (and I've always liked Mullen) when we talk about premiership aspirations, truly< what has he offered?
He may well have done it for a stronger club, but at the Knights, he's just been a run of the mill half.
In saying that, I would have loved him at the Eels when we were struggling for a decent playmaker.

Shit, mate.

Santa didn't bring you a Sarcasm Detector for Xmas this year??

I wonder if Skeepe is rubbing one out after hearing the news.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

NRL's screwed the pooch moment for 2017.

Shit, mate.

Lucky him. Mine's broken already seemingly...

 

[Knight76]

And the club takes another kick to the guts. Won't miss him though really, for mine his entire career he has been fairly average. Sure he tries hard but just never really made it.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

In Newcastle, sarcasm is something they inject.

 

[Suitman]

You're taking me far too seriously. I was having a shot at Newy's chances in 2017.

I missed that. Hard to tell sometimes, on an internet forum.
My apologies.

Will this cause The Telegraph to reset it's NRL Atrocity Watch back to 0 days?

 

[Generalzod]

It's Cronulla's fault

 

[AusKnightRKO]

He will pass it off as something a doctor gave him for the hammy, but please leave and retire, taking up way too much cap room.

 

[thorson1987]

Went to the parra school of cheating.

Supposed to get better when you do it.

Not win wooden spoons.

 

[Perth Red]

Newcastle brand needs this like a hole in the head. Poor loyal Knights fans, they have suffered enough already!

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

A sickening blow to the Knights' title hopes.

lol,Gold.

 

[Wizardman]

Bite the f**king bullet and get the CLEAN Todd Carney!!!!!

Mullen's career in a nutshell:

 

[Marlins]

Bite the f**king bullet and get the CLEAN Todd Carney!!!!!

At least you know he's clean he tastes the sample first before handing it over just to make sure

Mullen's open letter to fans

To the Fans,

As I'm sure you are all aware I have returned a positive drug test for an anabolic steroid. That's right fellow Novacastrians, I've been juicing harder than Golden Circle.

I know, many of you must be thinking I would be the last person in the league to be on the gear. How could I be, you may ask yourself: I haven't exhibited any extraordinary physical prowess. Well imagine how abysmal I would have been if I WASN'T juicing.

I have been our best player for years now. I carried us through the dark days of Bennett and his demented little protégé, Darius Boyd. I thought I would also have to carry us through Nathan Brown's limp wristed hold over the club.

What else could I do to shoulder this burden? The weight of the world was on my shoulders, how else could I carry the load without steroids?

Joey Johns has been the first to express his disappointment in me. He always told me, it's not a crime unless you get caught. As usual, the great man was right.

The bookies already had the Knights as favourites to take out the wooden spoon. With me out of action I fear we may not even be eligible for a disposable plastic spoon.

I am truly sorry. I wish I never got caught.

Love,

Jarrod.

Na, like myself Skeepe knows Mullen never anything above a mediocre footballer and the knights were far worse off having him playing for them on big coin

Blokes like he and I may never see a knights pairing like Mullen and Hodkinson again
Sad times

I think they are currently at Blue Alert, although it's possible they may step up to Red Alert if they can find the bulb. It's possible Rothfield drank it down after his 18th bourbon ...

 

[TheFrog]

He is still contracted until 2018 I believe so we will have plenty of money to spend. If we can't get a replacement before the start of the year u can lock in a 3rd spoon in a row sadly

Surely you can't just take a bloke off your books for cap purposes when he's been caught juiced up like this?
