Byron Ford

[Snoop Shark]

Does anyone know if he is back with the jets for this year???

I know he signed with the knights and then pulled out on the deal as he needed to sort himself out or something along those lines...

Declined a career-making opportunity with the Knights, and now thanks to this indiscretion, his career appears to be...

Up in smoke

In a week dominated by headlines about scandals involving sex, alcohol and violence, the news about a league player being suspended after testing positive for cannabis has hardly rated a mention. The incident occurred last season but is believed to have cost Byron Ford a contract with the Knights as well as a 12-match suspension. Ford, who was a member of Newtown's NSW Cup grand final team, was on the verge of signing with the Knights but pulled out of the deal late last year. His suspension ends on June 19.
