You'll be referring to 'whizz-kid' Reece Walsh! ![]()
The craziest part of it is there is a decent portion of Aussie fans who seem to defend it. I've seen loads of comments about it just being the lads on a wind down enjoying themselves, it's part of the common culture in oz for men around there age. Absolutely mind blowing!
It's a big problem in that age group over here in the UK aswell, but i'm glad we see it as worthy of a harsh punishment since it is illegal, rather then insanely slack ones like 1-2 match bans. Players are getting longer bans for accidental high shots!

Really? Snorting a dangerous substance as a role model and being quite brazen about it too and he shouldn’t cop a ban? If it was up to me they’d have lifetime bans from the sport. There is no excuse for putting that up your nose. No excuse for a supposed role model to do so either and be so brazen about it. Cocaine fuels debt, fuels depression and, I have had personal experience here, fuels suicide due to dealers coming after you for money. Not mentioning what it actually funds higher up the chain.
Give them lifetime bans. I guarantee it’ll stop immediately. |

A bit mystified why Lenagan has said that that the club will only be making one more signing when the squad is so low in numbers, quality and size and so many rumours of players leaving the club?

A banned drug is a banned drug regardless of when you take it. |

I wouldn’t say it is low on numbers.
The rest is anyone’s guess.
I think we have added a bit more depth to the squad so we are not relying on square pegs in round holes again next year. |

I think we just don’t trust our own recruitment process anymore?
Why would you when pretty much all of our signings in the past 6 years have been absolute duds?

Go on then I'll bite. How much worse have they been compared to other clubs? |

What have other clubs got to do with it? And why does that excuse our own poor recruitment?
But anyway.
Would Lussick improve our team? Yes
Leeds have signed Sezer. Miles better than a 36 year old Leuluai
Even Mamo I would’ve taken over Thornley/Isa/Miski
And that’s just for next year. |

And that's the issue. They seemingly don't use WADA like most other sports.
I don't buy into the whole "off season" thing, like I say a banned drug is a banned drug. |

Banned by the nrl or by wada?
EDIT - Just read the WADA website and cocaine is only banned in competition.
Ridiculous! |
