Why do we want to be moral crusaders??

Gray tests?
Send them to advanced hair.

Maybe Nimbin could start a rl club, anything goes,bongs at halftime, sniffs at full time.

LOL

That reminds me of a story someone was telling me once.

His team were leading by a mile at halftime, something like 40-0.

Thought the game was over, so the team got on the cones at halftime....& lost. f**k it was a funny story.

 

[Eion]

Are they going to pluck hairs from players the day after we go back to back?

Joke!!

If we go back to back they can close the joint down for all I'll care!

 

[snout]

Wonder if some players wouldnt sign with us.

Wonder if someones having 2nd thoughts already.

 

[Card Shark]

We are trying to balance out our premiers advantage!

Seriously foolish stance to take in my opinion.

We want to correct a society problem?

If we implement this watch players reject us left right and centre.

Other Clubs won't implement it nor the NRL enforce it on other Clubs.

Dumb idea.

Shows a hell of a lot of balls.

 

[shadowboxer]

Puts other clubs in a bit of a quandary. I mean we are always caught out for anything from Barba to potentially a player sniffing Clag glue. We are always the whipping boy. North of the border, anything goes.
Agree it sets a dangerous precendent but seriously if you are a player and being paid massive $$$ or on the verge of doing so as a junior, you can do as you please on retirement.
Another Lyall move - well done

Another interesting point out of this move that I think might be a bonus for the club.

IMO there has been a recent increase in publicity about recently retired players from footy clubs (ARL and NRL) that go off the rails right after finishing their careers. You hear the stories of drug abuse during their careers and no support after finishing their last game for "The Club".

The Clubs have been supportive of course, but it is a bad look.

Well with this move I see that The Club will now be able to say "Since 2018 we have had this introduced this program and the Club and its players all knew so .... blah blah blah."

I think it is called getting on the front foot.

I should note that I don't actually care what the players get up to away from the game and what they do in their own time. There is so much going on in todays society and I believe it is not up to a blockheaded rugby league player to be societies bench mark

If the player is serious and "adult enough" he would know what is good for his image and career and his own personal and mental health. Bottom line he should know what it Right or Wrong.

 

[snout]

This would be Lyall.

Be wouldve beèn rocked by Barba and then hit for 6 by keogh.

Obviously determined to stop it happening again.

He is the one going to the table speaking to sponsors. Armed with this he can mount an argument the club is proactive in this area.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Thanks Inferno, not subscribing to that rag.

 

[sandshark]

This probably me stereotyping him but anyone else here just get a shiver down their back thinking about Dugan taking 4 or more drug tests a season?

I'm all for it to enhance our image but we should expect more drama down the track I believe.

Why only Dugan?

Haha I know someone who's done that and I can tell you he never did it again.

 

[spirit of league]

Can we bring in Gay tests too?

Not developed as yet. Relax, our secret's safe for now.

 

[PHaTMaN]

Stupid and unessessary move from the club.

Are we going to monitor every aspect of players lives?

 

[Stake Removed]

Smart move by Lyall, it immediately puts pressure on the other clubs, one or two of them will jump on as well, then we watch those clubs dragging the chain

 

[Frenzy.]

There are no negatives to this proposal. If you're not doing the wrong thing there is no threat to you. Simple. Great leadership from the Sharks and Gorman.

I wonder if they will have to take alcohol tests randomly too? I am getting a shiver down my spine.

I think it is a good initiative. Club will take years to get rid of the peptide stigma.

Surprises me some not concerned with players taking drugs or being grog monsters.

Still can't believe the lack of action taken on Bromwich and Proctor. Captain of your country , married family man gets caught on the coke. 2 game ban. I got fined $185 for parking facing the wrong direction.

No 2 week ban for parking.

 

[Arnold]

How stoned were you when you parked the wrong way?

Let's face it, people including rugby league players, do do the wrong thing.

Some in the privacy of their own home in the company of friends & even family.

Does that make them bad people..I'd say not necessarily.

We might be losing the prospect of signing some very good players.
