I think supporters of all colours will realise that it is the individuals responsibility for what they take, not the clubs. To blame a club is wrong. Simple.

I dont think that any of the so called Wakey muppets on here will blame the club for Newton's indiscretions.

I can't believe that some people are praising Newton for holding his hands up and being honest. He was only honest after he was caught! I hope he gets the full 2 year ban and the club then take similar action to what Chelsea did with Mutu.

I hope they don't. I hope they do whatever's now necessary to terminate his contract and end their association with the player in a dignified manner. The club needs to concentrate on more important things, like the next franchise application, and the team needs to focus on continuing the excellent start to the season. Let's not get bogged down with sideshows like this.

On the positive side (again), those fans - and I include myself amongst them - who never liked Newton as a player before he began his association with Wakefield, and had to suspend belief by supporting him as a player wearing our colours, can now go back to their original opinion of him without any conflict of emotions. That'll do for me.

I wouldn't worry too much about mud sticking to the club given that us and most other clubs have players who have got themselves into drug related or violence related trouble. Hardly a squeaky clean game with an untarnished image.

I assume the club will be taking advice on how to handle this situation regarding bans and cancelling of contracts.

Lionel Hutz, attorney at law?

what is there to rebuild, wakey didnt force the loon to take the stuff, but the club will be tarnished by the uneducated, we still get it at cas over hudson, even though he served his ban

that said , i still dont like wakey and i suppose a lot of you feel the same way about cas

god are we still discussing this?

he did bad
hefessed up
he gone


move on

ps never liked him anyway!

Still talking about it on superleague show, so why shouldn't posters on here?

Have i missed something or has there been an explanation as to why the suspension has only just started and not in November when the test results where known?

to be fair its their first chance!

we on here have had 5 days!

cant see what there is left to say
he did it, he admitted it, hell leave wakefield, full stop new sentence!

Simply because the test was taken in November and the results came back the day he was suspended.

Cheers, i thought i had read that the result was known in Novemner.

Cheers

Not as simple has that IMHO. You played a confessed drugs cheat and some consideration ought to be given to deducting points. I dont see why the club should benefit.
