Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.

Agreed. Plenty of talent but no sympathy whatsoever, doubt you'll be seen in a rugby shirt again with what's to come.
On the upside, he did well to not get busted until a far better player andbloke was fit in RHP.

| At least thats a wage the club don't have to find for now. Have to be thankfull for small mercies. It's a real pity because we were a damn good team with him in it. Edited after second reading.

| Glad he's been caught and banned.
Glad he won't turn out for the team I support ever again.
Just a pity he lowered the clubs reputation with his low personal standards.

| The Watcher believes cocaine useage is widespread in a certain age group of our young people, anyone who thinks that rugby players do not indulge in this drug need to take their head from up their bottom.The most irratating thing about the Govin situation is that if he had told the club the truth & then taken their advice he would not be in the mess he is now.

| I am with the Watcher on this.
How anyone can think this particular drug improves players performance on a RL field astonishes me.
Oh yeh sportsmen have to set an example to youngsters and if no sports person took recreational drugs then no youngsters would ever take recreational substances. How can anyone seriously believe that ?
I am just surprised players can' if they wish drink a bucket of red wine a day and still not get banned but taking a different addictive drug they can get banned' because one addictive drug is illegal and the other is not.?
Do I think taking addictive drugs is wrong is not the point in my view when it comes to sport. When it does not improve player performance so what. Anyone who tries cocaine does so because they want to not because Govin took it.
I would legalise all such drugs at least our Chancellor could tax them and maybe there would be less crime. Would you take cocaine if it was legal ? What has that do do with me or the RFL ?
Opium used to be legal when Queen Victoria was on the throne. I think they call it heroin now.

..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself: |
|
| Well what a stupid thing to do just as he was getting his career back on track after years of injuries.
I was made up when we re-signed him and he was awesome before his "injury", such a shame because I'm sure he'd have got another contract next season particularly with Robbie retiring and Jamie off to Hull.
Very disappointed.

| Sorry Frank I disagree with some of that. Younger people are influenced by the actions of people they look upto and if just one took drugs just because Mick their idol did it then it's one too many. Those are the people that need educating at an early age that both drink and drugs do them no good and a person in Micks position who is found to be doing it should have the book thrown at them. Not saying after he has paid his dues he shouldn't be let back in but for now he must pay the price. Its funny you should bring the victorian opium days up because they were allowed to happen to keep the lower classes stoned and quiet. It has happend in the gettos in the states and I think they let drug and drink misuse happen in the inner cities over here for the same reason. Doesn't seem to be working at the moment does it.
