OT: Bronson Xerri fails drug test

[qld redvee]

If he was tested in late November how does it take 6 months for the results to get back to the NRL ??

It doesn't.

ASADA can keep samples for up to 10 years apparently.

Financial constraints maybe? Or they may have had a backlog.

Just a hypothesis.. But...

Interesting that by delaying releasing the results, until now it maximises the term of suspension..

Get him suspended at the end of 2019, he’s back from suspension 6 months earlier.. Even releasing it back in March was a risk given the comp was under a cloud of getting underway..

Delaying the findings till close to the start of the comp means that he can’t serve out suspension during the off season.

Lol at Sharks.
Still can't believe they are paying Dugan 800K.

They should look on the bright side.

Now they won’t be paying him $800k to play ressies.

Crush and SBD a few years back when I had an opinion that Duges was only worth half his $700 K a year from the Red V many posters on here piled on me mercilessly. Now you guys are cracking the jokes and no one will say boo. Anyway, I won’t mention who I think our next Duges is because I don’t want to cop it to the max again.

It wasn't me mate, I've been ripping Duges since 2016.
Who's the next Duges? I'm intrigued.

 

[blacksafake]

Timing of this is very suss.
It’s as if they’re trying to railroad the season.
Remember the previous ASADA involvement with the sharks & the statement of “The darkest day in Australian sport” which came to nothing.

Lomax!...and still will give it to you thinking it...as this time you will be proved wrong.
I didnt disagree with you too much...re Duges especially as it was overs but that was the market for a half decent fullback which he was... But his value being 350K is a bit of a stretch and even Aitken and Lafai on more than that.
Why did Sharks pay him 800K and now 900K for this year

Lomax is still yet to show me anything that suggests he is a star player that deserves a 5 year deal. Early days though. Hopefully he gets the whole season at 4 to show us his value.
Fingers crossed but I have my doubts.

TBH Crush..I have doubts about nearly everything the club does and comes up with in relation to 1st grade on field performance due to a multitude of Mary and some other reasons.
I hope so too..cause that is where he belongs and he is still young.
I have seen enough of his lower grade stuff to tell he has got it...just needs direction now (or should I say right direction) improving his game to reach that potential

Crush, the poor kid has been dicked around terribly by the brains trust. He is a centre and will kick ass there with games under his belt as he gains valuable experience. Our moron of a coach was a great centre in the day yet he hasn’t been able to fix up our problem position over the last few years. I’ll fix the problem. Keep Lomax in the 4 jersey and pi$$ off Aitken, Lafai and McFlop and put Flanno in and watch the kid go!!

I’m afraid that’s the nature of the forum. Everyone has players that they think are worthy of special praise or criticism. Ive got some unpopular opinions too. It’s going to happen.

As for Dugan, he was gifted with natural skill and a physique that was built for footy, but in my opinion he has always been too focused on himself and not enough on the team. Unfortunately the dragons fed his ego to entice him to the club, and anyone who attended corporate functions during his time with us can tell you that he conducted himself like a rockstar. I don’t entirely blame him, he was a young bloke that was fawned over by all and sundry. I can see how he would start to believe the hype.

But anyway. You certainly didn’t cop it from me. But in my opinion he was definitely worth $350kpa at right centre.

Yep you are right - my player is James Graham - he is a dead set log

 

[jeffdragon]

Don't blame ASADA blame Xerri.
There would be no story if he wasn't positive.
