Okay ... whose going to be the first club picked.

Now Manly are/was involved with Dack.

I'll call us.

Now Ive been saying for a long long time you only have to look at some of the players, especially those that bulk up dramatically over a short period of time.

And those with apparent super human strength

The bomb is ticking ...

Bulldogs have to be sus after their massive turnaround last year. Dank wouldn't have to be there. Dea already has the "skills"

Flanno was on MMM earlier this morning and he said ths Dank bloke only helped them with sourcing and supplying GPS equipment. When he (Dank) tried to "expand" his business with the Sharks they pizzed him off

I would have thought that head injuries would be a greater issue.

Head knock that may normally be a concussion could cause a subdural. This prob wouldnt be detected for a few days or a week and then we end up with another reece williams.

bad ones need a craniotomy and drainage. Who wants to play NRL with a hole in your head and clips. No thanks

Yeah, greater issue if they occur but I only mentioned soft tissue stuff due to much higher numbers and the notion that I have that seemingly innocuous injuries too often turn out worse. That's not Shark exclusive. That's across codes.

A hypothetical here...
What happens if a new recruit was guilty of using performance enhancing drugs whilst playing for their previous clubs. What will that mean for the new club?

I think the real question will be how to differentiate the guilty clubs from the guilty individual players. It's quite possible some clubs may argue ignorance to it's own players and say they're doing it "In their own time"

Good to see we are the first team mentioned in being offered peptides. Hadnt realised Dank was ever with us.

Interesting.

Obviously it will mean the club will be without that player as they serve the ban. Not sure what it means for the cap. Presumably all contracts will have in them a termination clause in the event of a performance enhancing drug rap freeing the club up to get a newby.

I think it speaks volumes for our club that we farked him off the second Givney didn't feel comfortable about him.

I believe Givney saved our arse. Alarm bells rang and he reacted. Or at least that is what I am reading into it. His reaction led to a fall out with Dank leaving (or being asked to leave) and the club dodging a bullet.

Hats off to Givney, at the moment anyway.

It mentions that players were offered the drug from our club.. It doesn't say that about any other club.. This makes me the most concerned.

Also mentions a cronulla insider. Who, an ex coach or player. Maybe a current one.

We'll never know their identity but I'd love to. I don't condone drug cheating but I hate "insiders" giving out crap like this to the media.
