1. HullFC brought the game into disrepute as it was HULLFC's stupid centre, who took banned substances gained from HULLFC's stupid Captain, passed by HULLFC's stupid conditioner and it was covered up by HULLFC's CEO.
At no other time in the last week has any other club BUT HULLFC had any involvement in this and as such it was their name and kit all over every channel and all the national press!!!

2. Of Course FC should be punished, he was clearly using this during his time on the field for FC and as such since certain club figure heads new it then the whole club was cheating!!!!

Awww bless

Back to school soon eh?

rovers fans and school?

Tell me where I'm wrong ??
Typical response to the facts is that, as for school left there 18 years ago

He doesn't, but he clearly knows a fair bit more about it than you.

My original argument was with the assertion that the RFL couldn't punish Hull FC; I did say at the time that I thought they could and should, but I didn't think they would; turns out I was right.



No.

Did you skip all your English lessons after struggling through Janet & John?

Personally I blame eli lilly and johnson and Johnson as well.

Damn them for producing medicines safe enough for people to self prescribe, if only they were dangerous, i mean if Eli Lilly had produced a drug as dangerous as say....alcohol rather than one as safe as Caffeine then it would have been a prescription drug Gleeson probably wouldnt have used it, and there would be an actual reason for it to be banned.

Considering we are punishing the Hull FC players who didnt take drugs and a Hull FC board which werent at the club at the time, and the Hull FC tea lady who with her concoction of stimulants she hands out every single day, the pusher. Why shouldnt we be going after the filth who make these drugs and flood our high streets with them? The utter barstewards.

I don't understand what punishing the club more than any other club will achieve?

The individuals involved have been sacked by the club's new owners before this came out. What message are we trying to send out that hasn't already been sent out?

That clubs have a responsibility to employ people with integrity?
As has been said a dozen times if it was a breach of salary cap then we don't hold the clubs accountant or CEO accountable, we hold the club accountable for the actions of its staff. If it was just a player and a one off then fair enough but we are talking about the most senior employer of the club acting in a systemic dishonest way that brought the game in disrepute. I don't see covering up banned substance use any different to covering up salary cap breaches in terms of dishonesty that drags the games reputation down and the precedent is set for punishment if the club does that.

Here's a tip: before attempting to be clever and use words that are alien to your usual vocabulary, you could at least make an attempt to research their meaning first.

Please point out, just where the actions of James Rule could conceivably be classed as "systemic"

That has yet to be established.


An assertion that nobody actually made.
