Using illegal drugs supports organised crime. In some places these f**kwits are so strong they terrorise the poor merkins living in their territories. All enabled by a bunch of safe, wealthy middle class deadshits wanting to get their rocks off.
Yeah shits me no end when people say it's victimless. Mother Teresa isn't the one supplying the stuff

I'm not sure everyone is taking drugs just to get rocks off. Some would be using them as an escape from reality cause they are feeling trapped. Sure its a band aid solution. And it can ruin people. It can also help people see things a different way.

2 weeks is ridiculous after Norman and Pearce got 8. The NRL CEO told us all they were going to come down hard on drug users and Nek Minnit it's two weeks.

The inconsistency is a joke.

Yes but Bromwich wasn't convicted of anything so you can't compare the punishments. His stance is basically "I was so drunk I have no idea what I took". Norman was convicted of possessing an illegal substance.

There's a massive difference.

Why wasn't Bromwich tested by the NRL and ASADA???

So being drunk is an excuse???

4 weeks would of been a fair outcome, because the 8 marker weeks of last season was absolute bullshit.

What offence has Bromwich been convicted of?

I thought they got it wrong with Norman, but he was convicted of an offence in a court of law.
Surely a smart marine biologist such as yourslef can see its really just semantics whether you get caught with some in your pocket as opposed to filmed with it up your nose .... end of the day its the same shit - footballer taking an illegal substance

Your reckon 2 weeks is all Norman should have got?

Pearce playfully touched a chicks dress (yes shouldnt have done it) and played silly buggers with a dog .... what was he convicted of?

In the grand scheme of things, did Norman being suspended for 8 weeks really cost us anything? We wouldn't have made the Top 8 if he'd played all those matches, so did we really miss out?

Would Norman have learnt as much of a lesson if he was out for 2 weeks??

If SKD ends up being found guilty and gets two weeks, then Norman and the Club can probably feel hard done by.

If I'm not mistaken, the NRL has said that he has one strike on the three strike policy now anyway. So what would the NRL or ASADA testing him change?

I dont think there is a massive difference at all .... at the end of the day it is the exact same look for the nrl. Players taking drugs
