Unfortunately us '7 fingered neanderthal inbreds' as you so nicely put it on the Leeds board, have no desire
to discuss anything with you.
Off you troll.

| The reason I raised my concerns is that one week he is reported has having a possible season long injury...a torn bicep IIRC and misses a game
and the next we hear a radio interview on Saturday where it is stated he makes a "remarkable" recovery.
I do hope for the sake of the game as a whole the club are not culpable as well.

Didn’t Lunt from Huddersfield fear he had a broken arm and would be out for a few months, turns out it’s only ligament damage. Injuries are sometimes incorrectly diagnoised. People are looking far too much for conspiracy theories in this.

| Quote underground="underground"You may have a point...
depending on the type of drug, the timing of the first test and the sharing of this information with the club, the league and the player, the RFL by-Laws affecting this issue...
but as we know nothing of any of those issues... it's an irrelevant point based on pure conjecture and speculation...'"
90% of what is on the board is pure conjecture and speculation.
The RFL would not suspend a high profile player unless it believed it had reasonable grounds to do so - let's face it the sport is the big loser here

I have.
What part of 'If found guilty then the club has to take some responsibility' don't you understand?'"
You also suggested that all Wakefield players should be tested to make sure this isn’t a club problem. If that’s not trolling I don’t know what is.

Are you serious? You really think that players who are caught taking recreational drugs should face no sanction at all?

Correct. Be careful tho Khlav. You will be accused of being a 'biter' for responding to his trolling!

| Quote Rogues Gallery="Rogues Gallery"Here's a thought.
Newton was injured late last season. What if he ill advisedly took some "drug" or "medicine" to help him with the injury.
Remember it has happened before with Kieron Cunningham, so until the actual charges / results are confirmed it is probably better we keep our powder dry.
Let's wait and see before hanging him out to dry.'"
Well said Sir, Unfortunately you Sandal and a few more are in a minority this morning  What times the hanging?

| Regardless of the fact that it is one of our players in the spotlight at the moment I think it's great that so many tests are done so frequently on people playing this sport. I do however think that three and a half months is far too long to decide to issue punishment and needs speeding up! This should have and surely could have been resolved prior to the start of the season.

Or at least resolved in the next few days as you now have a player who you cannot play, who cannot train, who cannot have any involvement with the club, and you cannot sack, taking up a valuable players spot and salary cap space.
Why on this earth should it take ANOTHER 3 months to solve this?
As for those who think there should be some kind of club sancition, they are just mad. I'm no Wakey fan (although I did work there for a while) but why should th fans and the rest of the people involved with the club suffer because of one persons madness (if indeed he is guilty)

so the fact that 3-5 players from the same testing schedule past the test is of no relevance ? why not test all his previous clubs players ? your looking for bites sweetheart are you not?

The if you unfortunately missed out when claiming the club had failed to control the player.
But enough about you. Back to Terry Newton.
The length of time required to deal with this issue is ridiculous, as Paxo states. It just leaves things to fester, to the detriment of the game, the club, and quite possibly the player too, if innocent of any deliberate wrongdoing.
