What does the fox say?

didnt flanagan get the players together in the middle of shark park and tell them they would be taking supplements and they need to keep it on the quiet. I think this was Isaac gordon's statements. So if thats they case he of cause new what was happening and sanctioned it. Face the facts - they were in it up their eyeballs.

Doesn't look good re the players that have submitted lawsuits against the club. Peak governing body has fined them for putting players at risk. Players suing the the clubs lawyers would be rubbing their hands with glee! Who gets sued flanghan ? Club or both?

Hmmm..... Turns out you were wrong and unfortunately for the Sharks and the NRL, they ain't close to finished yet.
More Tough Times Ahead for the Shire.

Disagree boss. I think Messiah is spot on. ASADA have had nothing to do with today. It?s the NRL coming down on the sharks for poor governance. Said it months ago when the Penriff group CEO was turning himself inside out on radio to espouse the benefits of their governance that doesn?t allow the Sandor Earl issue to occur again. That rang alarm bells for me. Now riddle me this gangsters. Why would ASADA wait? They hit Earl and recently Kennedy as soon as they knew. Why would they not get the Sharkies? Answer, and Smith alluded to it, they dont know what the substances are (our clubs or any others btw I suspect) and can?t gather the evidence they thought was there. Who knows the supplements could be just fine. However, the commish have enough to meter their own punishment (for poor governance) and have done so today. The 2 items (ASADA and Club Governance) are related but are totally separate items. The comish have evidence, however ASADA...well you know how it goes

Now okay ... I need a little bit of clarification here.

This is the NRL to us.

I understand that 34 players are involved in the bigger picture.

I understand that the Hartleys had Dank for over 3 years.

I understand that one bloke is in the shit... Earl was it

Now the chooks have had 12 blokes with high levels of yeah you know.

So where does the NRL go with all this.

Disagree all you like, The NRL are acting on a report handed to them by ASADA investigators. ASADA have waited this long to allow the governing body of the sport, in this case the NRL, time to deal with the infractions. Individual player sanctions will be next.

Which part dont you understand you dopey K.h.unt?
David Smith " substances to this day, are unknown".

it is THE most important line of the day. ASADA are required by the ACT, to hand out infradtion notices immediately they have information. Not wait until they have more.
So by that yiou can infer that the ASADA report, has nothing do do with what happened to today.
Today was about about player welfare & cleansing the brands through a headline grab.
Now wait for the watering down.

They (the NRL)are acting on the investigative results by their own Integrity Unit,painstakingly undertaken over a few months under Nick Weeks (the Units lead Lawyer).
It is the findings of this unit,that has resulted in the penalties ,handed down.
Call it an internal audit ,if you will.

Ahh, Childish naming calling, good one.

As far as your information regarding the enforcement of the ACT, you are sadly incorrect, they are empowered to delay the handing out of any infraction notices if their investigations have uncovered what they suspect to be criminal activity Or they reasonably believe that it may effect further investigations.

In short, whilst ASADA are investigating an entire league, they can wait until the conclusion of the investigation and still be operating well with in the bounds of the ACT.

Now the NRL needs to fine itself because they have been aware of dank for years and failed to ensure the welfare of clubs by passing on warnings.
