How cost effective are those mini-kegs, compared to a case (or slab for the mexicans)?

Generally speaking slabs are cheaper but depends on how much cheaper given it varies from which brand of keg you buy. I had my first go at it a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Though i'll stick with drinking stubbies as i prefer it and more cost affective i def be buying TK once every month or 2 for a change.

we were already cleared by ASADA earlier in the year.

That was before Earl potentially started grassing people up. There is certainly some chance he was involved in dodgy dealings at Canberra. It would be imo silly to think otherwise.

But we have certainly not engaged in a systematic program or anything.

Oh gawd!!!

Look ( sorry 2 games left) I know what your getting at buy
all I am saying is this bloke was under suspicion ages ago.
They have spent all these months and who knows how much cash.

Then when they finally do bust someone , it is a bloke
who was leaving the the country and the NRL anyway.

Yeah they will probably get more but how much longer will that take ?


I would say Earl is being used to nail Dank.

back from Bigpoodfy again eh

the point was obvious

he tweeted the presser was on gambling you mong

Wow so he didn't know what it was about. Show me a journo who tweeted what it was actually about. That has nothing to do with the first tweet.

His first tweet is unnecessary bragging, but he is right. There was a story about Earl using peptides that he broke on 9 news, and Earl did deny it and threaten legal action.

He also never said it was on gambling. He said he had heard stuff about gambling. His next tweet said he had heard chatter about an ASADA announcement. But I guess that gets in the way of your stupid agenda.
 

big hit!

there should be a sub-forum for this stuff. way too many posts to trawl through, reference and respond.

surely sandor should have his own thread.

The club was cleared of a systematic doping program like the Sharks and Essendon are accused of. Individual players weren't cleared. Earl might be the only Raiders player suspected of being involved though.

Lots of chatter about ASADA related announcement... Sharks say they have not been told anything

Still don't see the relevance of this though. Could you explain why that is relevant to his tweet that he broke the news a couple of months ago? Are you saying he is lying because he didn't know what the announcement was before it was announced?

You know it's a remarkable situation when we've got Bigfooty commending the NRLs handling of this drug scandal and rubbishing the AFL in turn.

Who cares about other NRL players... He could be looking at a 4yr ban.

He's gonna be trying to have a career as an athlete.

He could still roll on other players and play RU overseas.

You think players overseas wont find out he ratted on his fellow RL players?


He'll be a pariah wherever he goes.

Brent Read on the Rush Hour reckons the trafficking part of the charge relates to Earl getting the pep from somewhere and then giving it to his doctor, who then injected him with it. Nothing to do with supply to team mates. Seems like they have a ridiculously broad definition of the term trafficking.

Sorry to disappoint all the foamers.

Just caught up on the news now... Wow. Trafficking means there'll be some players out there shitting themselves, I wonder if names were given to allow him to play RU overseas with a reduced ban

What club is going to want a guy who trafficked peptides ? And what player group is going to want a team mate who ratted out friends?

You mean cheat ratting on other cheats; don't try to bring aussie mateship into it.

There is a big difference between keeping quiet on a mate, say, having a schooner when he should be back at work and someone playing a game under false pretenses (keeping another player out of the side and having an unfair advantage against the other team) - big bloody difference in my mind. Remember, it is unaustralian to cheat.
