I'm pretty sure he means "article". Just on Nicho, yes the team is the whole squad of 30 blah blah but only the best get picked every week so then what? I prefer McInnes's take on it. For me as a long suffering supporter, after a win like we had and all things looking pretty good, Trindal has definitely killed my buzz. Hopefully he will redeem himself, perhaps this is what he needed confirmation of in some way. Maybe DA will kill it and provide us with more competition in the role, these things can turn into positives. It's not like he glassed his missus or pissed in his mouth haha

I can. I will. I did.

Was really deciding if the source is credible. I couldn't decide, you all can for yourselves. Go to the red at the bottom

NRL makes call on terminating Braydon Trindall's contract as new details comes to light​

Cronulla's playmaker failed initial roadside alcohol and illicit drug tests while driving.​

Braydon Trindall and the Cronulla Sharks' season has been thrown into limbo after the Sharks playmaker allegedly failed roadside tests for illicit drugs and alcohol while driving on an expired licence. Trindall was on Tuesday stood down by the Sharks from all NRL duties and faces a lengthy stint on the sidelines, following the alleged incident on Monday morning.

Trindall was reportedly celebrating the ladder-leading Sharks' thumping victory over North Queensland with a number of teammates at veteran forward Toby Rudolf's apartment on Sunday evening. Cronulla's players were also celebrating Braden Hamlin-Uele’s 100th NRL game and rookie Sam Stonestreet’s debut in first grade - which included a try against the Cowboys.

It's understood the festivities wrapped up around midnight when Trindall went out with another group of friends - none of whom were Sharks teammates according to the 24-year-old. He was then stopped for a random breath test in the Sydney suburb of Caringbah at around 9.45am on Monday morning while on his way to a mandatory Sharks recovery session.

Police will allege Trindall returned a breath analysis reading of 0.124 - more than twice the legal limit - on arrival at Miranda Police Station. He also allegedly returned a positive result to an illicit substance, understood to be cocaine, and was issued an infringement notice for driving with an expired licence.

Cronulla Sharks confirm news around Braydon Trindall​

Trindall is currently awaiting the results of a secondary sample of his drug test. The Sharks immediately informed the NRL integrity unit of the situation and released a statement confirming that he had been stood down from club duties.

“Sharks NRL squad member Braydon Trindall failed initial roadside alcohol and illicit drug tests early on Monday morning,” the Sharks statement said. “The club has since followed the appropriate protocols within the player’s contract and CBA and continues to work with the NRL integrity unit, with the club, player and his management agreeing it is in Braydon’s best interest to not participate in games or to train for the short term, and more importantly to attend to his welfare and health issues.

“Trindall reported the result of the roadside tests immediately to Sharks management, who in turn informed the NRL integrity unit. The matter has been referred for a court appearance in May where Trindall will face the allegations and charges levelled against him, noting that a secondary sample of the illicit drug test is yet to be confirmed.”

NRL not considering terminating Braydon Trindall's contract​

Considering Trindall's appearance at Sutherland Local Court is scheduled for May 17, he looks set to miss at least four games in the NRL, given the Sharks' round 11 clash against the Roosters is the next day. At this stage, the NRL will not consider terminating Trindall's contract over the incident.
However, the NRL will consider the speed of Trindall and Cronulla's response to the alleged incident as it determines any potential ban for the star, which could include time served during his ongoing absence from the club. Trindall took no part in Cronulla club duties on Tuesday was not present for veteran teammate Dale Finucane's press conference to announce his retirement on concussion grounds.

100% with ya on McSmart cools. The accountability he is quoted as speaking about is excellent. Real team mentality.

"All of our actions reflect on each other," McInnes said.

"That's our mindset as a team. If one of us slips up, there's always something big or small we could have done."

Start the retention work Sharks! He can talk to others from November 1.

You win together you lose together, you are there for each other

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Tricky finally cements his spot in the starting side (I think he is a very average player) and he pulls a stunt like this. The club would be absolutely filthy having it come out on Dales announcement and undoing all the hard work the club as a whole has done to change the reputation of the sharks. I hope Atkinson has a blinder and makes the position his own and Tricky doesn’t just walk back in, might be an opportunity to let him go and move in another direction.

I agree with you but our halves back up cupboard is rather bare.

Yes I'm with you on that but they may as well have considering what the Club went through with it.

He is captain, I doubt he leaves. Interesting he said on the bye round that he wants to see how he is feeling and if he can't give 100% and be the same player he is now he wouldn't want to stay in the NRL.

Steal when you consider he was reportedly signed for 500k a year. Extreme value for money.

With Fitz at the club getting Finucane and McInness to set those standards, I believe it will continue on in some of the players we have, and if need be recruit someone for that role.
It would be though great he be a shark from debut who sets those standards

It takes time. Nobody said that about Gallen in 2006. 2016 they did. I get the feeling Nikora will be that non vocal "leader"
