Sad news???
How is it sad news?

When I saw the title of the thread I was immediately thinking a player from years gone by had passed away, but to then open it and read that apparently this news is now classed as sad, really does sadden me!!
The man has committed a crime, pleaded guilty and will be sentenced accordingly.
I see no reason for anyone to come on here offering their sympathy or support.

If anyone feels any sympathy for Mr Barlow for the latest in a string of indiscretions then they really need to have a look at themselves and think about "examples to younger generations".

Did I just read that right ??
it is your understanding that The player can tell the drug tester when he can come ??

If true then that would be a massive hole in the system. Obviously I do not know the ins and outs but 24 hours seems plenty of time to mask anything that could potentially be in your system. A set time also would do the same.

Down loaded the RFL official booklet and it doesn't mention this.
It does say however that certain players decided by the RFL have to fill in forms explaining where they will be every 60 minutes of every day.
Spooky.

You can't educate pork.

I was waiting for that one Leon.
