OT: Bronson Xerri fails drug test

Hasler had a half an offseason with Garrick and transformed him. He was absolute rubbish with us.

With all due respect to Reuben, Lomax is twice the player with twice the potential. Give him a half decent coach and good side and watch him fly.

Until McGregor goes, this won’t happen. Given he’s signed a 6 year contract, hopefully it will happen sooner rather than later.

Well said...

Ohh come on. He had one solid game.
I could take you back to some Matt Dufty blinders where he single handedly won us games on his brilliance yet Dufty still cops heaps for his deficiencies (and justifiably so)
Why is it Lomax the golden child escapes criticism?
I've seen him do jack shit other than a good game against a Broncos team that got overwhelmed and destroyed across the park.
Other than that he has been fair to poor.
5-6 year contract was it?
As mentioned I have my doubts.
How many 80 minute games has he played since ????
Actually 8min under McNOIDEA would seem like a lifetime !!!

Yes, I know that we should all be waiting for the B sample before passing judgement. But as Paul Kent observed, it's not as if Xerri can explain away a complex cocktail of steroids in his system on a dodgy kebab.
Given the Sharks history and culture of performance enhancing drug abuse, I can't wait for the tell all interview that Xerri will be offered by ACA or 60 Minutes when his money starts running out. The Sharks have lost their major sponsor due to CV19 so you'd had to think that, apart from the local drug dealer, there'll be no one silly enough to add their name to their "brand". Their assets (Shopping Centre, Leagues Club etc) are all years away from being fully developed so Scottie may have to find a new club to support.


hahah

No.

JDB is being paid as he has been charged , but not yet convicted of a serious crime.

Xerri will be sacked and not paid as he has been found ( assuming the B sample is consistent), to have breached the performance enhancing rules.

He will not be able to register a contract until whatever suspension handed down is served.

incredible result for the sharks to free up his cap space
he was due to f**k up bad anyway

Don't blame ASADA blame Xerri.
There would be no story if he wasn't positive.
So true Jeff but for me i wonder who else was behind this, a family member. He couldn't just arrange this all himself , surely ? The fact he took a cocktail of drugs shows a level of stupidity and ignorance . Wonder what his family is like .

Pretty easy to find, you would only have to ask around at any gym.
His brother was charged with dangerous driving causing death over a car accident last year and drug charges a few years ago.
