No Burger and Fries, just coke and ice.

If one of the club's bigger sponsors was to decide that they didn't want to be associated with the Knights "brand" any more, the consequences would be devastating and possibly terminal.
Considering Houston was flat mates with Wicks , the chances of him not getting dragged into the drama were slim....The chance of him not being aware of the wicks drug dealing were remote , so being an accessory was always most likely. The fact that they have now busted Houston for 4 counts of dealing , would IMO suggest that there may be some very very nervous individuals who may have been customers of the pair. The nature of footy teams and players , would suggest that the dealing was known amongst the knights players. I expect some more names to come out considering the supposed hours of taped telephone calls the coppers have. Should this happen , what chance a " greg bird" like scenario where the any player implicated will suggest any drug puchase was " for a mate" and try and pass the blame onto their not so famous mates ??
The dogs have recovered from Coffs , and are now " the family club" in a short space of time...Newcastle have the opportunity to declare war on any person in their organisation , and im sure will become the " cleanest" club with measures they will have to take , and whatever they decide to do , it will have the backing of the knights fans in order to clean the joint out , regardless of which players , or however many players are involved.
lets stop it straight away, drug test all nrl players AND club officials right now.anyone caught out,piss em off.gallop and all
if only he had molested a woman instead, he could have played on..... :|
Doesnt matter, they will still be media darlings. If it were any other club it would be a 10 week epic saga of shock horror. But since its Newy it will blow over in a couple of days
No, they wouldnt let them die.Whilst it obviously wouldn't be an ideal scenario. Does anyone actually think the league would allow the Knights to fold?
Far too important to the comp imo to be able to see the NRL not propping them up where neccesary.
The Newcastle management have most definitely turned a blind eye to illicit drug use in their team over a period exceeding a decade at least..they took the view that certain players are bigger than the code and are not bound by proper restraint..A Johns was a case in point.
Newcastle have continued to be a poorly run club that appears to want avoid any scrutiny and any professionalism.
They have helped to damage the image of league and this is detrimental to every club in the NRL.
The Newcastle sponors, or those that are left will be appalled at this mismanagement and this will cost the club a lot of money, money it can ill afford to lose.
I think a well run Central Coast Bears team will fill a void left by an incompotent Knights admin, the Bears will have crowds, juniors and money and will not be tainted with rhe drug running culture that seems to be attached to the Knights.
I was talking drug dealing. You are listing a bunch of drug users. What are you doing on a forum - you can't even f***ing read.

This doesn't really surprise me.
You'd have to be on something to live in that abortion of a town.
