IF true etc =#FF0000Sorry Simon, can't have you putting stuff like that on here, RLfans hasn't the resources to go to court - Bullseye ....

Silly boy. No doubt it will be our fault though...

It's turning into one hell of a rugby league season. First the Huddersfield players, then the Catalans players, now this! I wonder what will happen next week?

A Bulls win?


Nah...things won't get that funked up.......will they?

A Bulls win?
More chance of seeing flying pigs!

Wonder if the Wakey fans still think he's such a good signing

I wondered why the Wakefield fans weren't complaining about him

Well bad news for RL but thankful he is no longer our problem. I doubt it was performance enhancing judging from his 09 form!

Thank god we got rid of him!

From another forum commenting on Tez.

[i=#FF0000Sorry Michael. Can't have stuff like that on this forum for fear of being sued. - Bullseye[/i

Sounds like a nice man the idiot.

Seems like our Terry is a bit of a monster....if that piece is to be believed?

I suggest you need to be VERY careful in making potentially libelous statements like that. If someone posted that sort of comment on the Wakey forum, the Mods would trash it immediately.

You might also consider when was his last game for the Bulls.

Wouldn't be a saints forum by any chance?

Innocent until proven guilty folks.

Please do not post any unsubstantiated stories on here. Anyone who does will find their post removed. Persistent posters of such things will be banned. RLfans can't afford to end up in court so please do us a favour and steer away from posting anything potentially libellous or slanderous.

Thanks

what a shame, I hope it isn't true. Newton is a class RL player when he puts his mind to it.

IIRC there's a 2nd test to be done? anyone know the dates?

when does a sl players contract end?
don't quote me on this but i'd have thought that terry would have been registered as a wakefield player at the time of his testing
if i am wrong,does anyone actually know when players contract end/begin?

i believe it is in early november of each year????

innocent until proven guilty of course is turry!

player contracts run 1st nov-31st oct normally. AFAIK newton stopped training with bulls as soon as he suffered the season ending injury back end of july ( think it was commented on plenty at time that solomona, who had a slim chance of being fit if we were involved in playoffs was involved in warmup each week, whilst newton was no where to be seen). So there was approx 4 months between his last involvement with us and the drug test. Even assuming he continued training until the last game of regular season when it was confirmed we wouldnt be involved in playoffs then there was still 3 months before the test. Cant see any alleged drugs taken staying in his system that long. Anyone with medical knowledge feel free to chime in.

well i believe most of our new players joined the club on the 13th Nov. so he would have been signed and sealed a wakefield player.

just reading between the lines from what's being said on boots n all, i'm starting to lean towards it being perhaps recreational and not performance enhancing

phew ! Just got shut in time! Poor old Wakey

I just hope its not true. Other than GB/England getting thrashed by the Aussies, when other than a failed drugs test have we had the "breaking news" on Sky Sports news? In the interests of the game that this gets sorted, well done to Craig Spence of the RFL for going on boots 'n all and putting their zero tolerance position over so well.

In my days a few draws on a spliff in teh changing room bog was the norm. They are taking all the fun out of this game I tell thee!
