Thanks, Sam does seem to be offering to take the test though.

I think his truculence and petulance top that.
The visage on the visiting tester is a picture.He seems to have seen it all before and he does stoicism and insouciance brilliantly in what may seem to be an attempt at intimidation from an individual bare-footed and bare-chested shouting a lot.
Strange the Halifax and Leigh links in the latest drugs controversy(ies).
The anti-doping people must be well sickened by rugby league personnel,following on from the attempted cover-up by individuals at Hull FC a few years back.

| From watching that video it looks on face value to contradict the Leigh statement that Sam called the police, looks to me like the UKAD guy was waiting for them to arrive, and also looks like Sam refused the test, hence why trying to be clever and asking the UKAD to do the test.
Looks to me like Sams own video has backfired and contradiced the statement to me, best mates with Penky could have been the reason for wanting to test.
The above is just my opinion based on what I see and isn't fact just speculation.
If they know they can be tested any time and have nothing to hide I do t see the problem at all.
They know the score as professional full time athletes, although I would have to stress that Leigh probably need a better conditioner based on that vid.

| In terms of Penky, is this the same sort of stuff that Kolo Toure was banned for?
Seem to remember him using his wife's cellulite cream or something, presume it's supposed to break down fat.

| Sam was probably just annoyed that they found out his correct address.

They just went to where the fireworks were set off.

| Quote griff1998="griff1998"To draw a conclusion from that, you'd need to know what the penalties were for. Standing a couple of inches offside or smacking somebody, for instance.'"
Hi Griff,
Our conceded penalties at Salford (just like theirs) were for the usual variety of 'offences' (Holding down, offside, not square, high tackle, and a bizarre obstruction when we played the ball with no dummy half)
Salford's referrals (like our individual one) were for dangerous tackles. Only one was proven - against Maitua.
Obviously, there is more to indiscipline than mere statistics - I merely used these, as have the 'experts' when condemning our 'indiscipline'.

| Don't know the guy and only spoke to him once in the Toulouse departures lounge, he was hammered, I was slightly intoxicated however I was never a fan.
He seemed to turn it on when he could be d and for every great bit of skill he'd come up with an error, a penalty or some sort of petulance. IMO he always seemed to have a chip on his shoulder and be a bit of a mood Hoover on the pitch.
I don't doubt for a second his natural ability but he wouldn't fit in to this Halifax TEAM. I haven't read the ins and outs of the legal side (not that interested) however I'm not surprised he's facing a second ban.

| Sentiments echoed. He won plenty of games for us but the sight of a club captain in club gear having to be carried through passport control and some of his behaviour on the plane was not impressive. Cracking player, daft sod.
Looked at the Barlow video too, he's no Roger Cooke is he, although they both looked well fed. None of us know exactly what went on apart from the UKAD guy and Sam but it doesn't look like either of them handled it well.
Some of the stuff on the VT is ridiculous on Penky, he's been caught, he's got form and at best had a year or two left playing. If he hasn't planned for a life after Rugby then he can only blame himself. The sports integrity is more important.
