Danny Wicks has been thrown a lifeline by the Canberra Raiders for the 2010 season after being sacked by Newcastle.

With court hearings pending, it's really difficult to comment further on the topic other than to say that it doesn't make a lot of sense that a relatively highly-paid sportsman would be involved in drug distribution (which is how I read "drug supply", as opposed to possession). My only question is "why?".

Separately, it's obvious that Danny will be stood down pending further information/developments. I think the Knights ought to just run a check of its players too, just to confirm that no one has any drugs in their system and, also, that there isn't anyone else related to the club alleged to be involved. It's a PR nightmare otherwise -- the Knights should distance itself from anyone proven to be involved in anything of the sort.

He will be playing for the Long Bay XIII in 2010 (and probably the rest of his playing years) if this is true.

What a way to throw away a career. I just hope the other person mentioned in the article has no connection with the Knights

how bizarre.
Our pre season is starting to be very disrupted with injuries and now this.
The players won't be feeling great.
It will be a total disaster if it comes out that he was supplying to team mates, so let's pray that doesn't happen.

The fact he has been charged for both supply and possession basically starts to drag a cloud over the Knights...... very unfortunate given the recent good news in regard to sponsors and the like. I'd hope that it doesn't turn out to be the case......

Precisely my fear. There's no evidence to suggest that is the case, but one doesn't assume anything in this crazy world. When are pre-seasons ever disruption-free anyway?

ffs...

What a f**king idiot

BTW he had signed for a lot less a month or two ago DMC so it won't be freeing up too much cash, I think it was a little over $100k from memory.

Sigh.

Hopefully all that work on the club's image isn't undone because of one fat f**k.
