What did he say? I cancelled my Sky Subscription
Speaking on NRL on Fox on Tuesday night, Marshall said prescription drug use is still an issue in the game today, although it?s not as prevalent as it was a few years ago.
?Throughout my years playing I?ve seen it in club teams and I?ve seen it in rep teams, people taking prescription drugs recreationally,? the former Test international said.
?It?s fine to take them to ease pain or if you?ve had operations, but actually recreationally and sometimes instead of drinking - or with drinking - it?s when you cross the line.
?We had a crackdown a couple of years ago and from that point I saw a massive improvement from where we were as a game.
?I can assure you that from what it used to be to what it is now, it?s nowhere near.?
Marshall and host Ben Ikin both said the Dylan Walker and Aaron Gray scare should act as a wake-up call for the game as a whole.
?We?ve always had to learn the hard way with everything,? Marshall continued.
?It happened with the lifting tackle, this occasion prescription drugs and it?s just gotta stop.
?It?s gone too far.?
