Fucking Cronulla, their coach and Gallen are a horrible blight on the game.

4 years is very, very harsh. 2 years is the norm I thought.

At least they seem to be putting their foot down. Hopefully that's the end of the Cronulla bullshit.

Except that 2 years, 4 years, doesn't matter as his career is over regardless. You have to feel for him as he was obviously desperate, and obviously felt he had nothing to lose, but they're illegal so he deserves to cop it,

It will be a good deterrent as he was rarely on the field and completely off the radar. But still got tested, busted, and banned.

Would it have ended different if he was (a) a media darling, (b) one of NSW's few hopes for an Origin win, or (c) played for a club whose number one fan was an inept yet well connected journo?

Outed for taking drugs? The media was right. He would become the next Andrew Johns.

His was supply rather than use though.

Seem to recall that was based on the fact he drove the peptides from one location to another. He wasn't really supplying them.

I struggle to understand this article with regards to the connection between the two women. English is a second language to me but this seems to have been written by a dyslexic ape. No offence to apes.

So he just broke down a toilet door and got fucked up in the process. Walker also "accidentally" hit a wall and broke his hand at some point? Nothing to see here move along does not involve a Bronco player.

Roosters will be so excited by that, gives them a reason to give him the flick and magically have the money for Tedesco (which the media is still so surprisingly silent about just quietly).
