Scandal ...again

[Guest]

On Fitzy's last game, the moment the penny dropped for me was when at around the 60th minute, a Cowboys player made a break at the 40m mark, about 10m in from the eastern touch line and The Mumbler easily could have caught the attacker, but just gave up as though it was a lost cause. The game was in the balance at that point.

Tbh, if any current squad members were implicit in any way with the throwing of a game - let alone that game - I want them publicly outed and tried. I don't care how that affects our 2013.

Oh man I hope you are wrong SG. Is this another 2011 coming up but worse? A very promising season de-railed before it starts? If the Mumbler was involved and the allegations are made formally, the consequences for our current team would be dire.

I read somewhere today that apparently a player who switched clubs after Xmas last year failed a drug test at his old club just before Xmas and that was one of the reasons he was asked to move.... I dont know who it is and which clubs. And I think this story was in the Telecrap but I hope its not who I think it is......

A Newcastle player using drugs ... never..

@Teriyaki - dunno man. Just my observation (and overwhelming opinion - at the time).

Let's hope it was simply my despairing mind trying to bring logic to that awful game.

Poor Fitzy.

Re the Xmas/Knights thing, if it is the person youse seem to be referring to, it would have to be recreationals, right?

Fat fckuker was hardly on the juice.

can only hope if the cows game is true then its just a group of individuals instead of implicating the club as a whole

Teabags a few questions mate.

When was that article written and by whom??? You have not provided a link is all. I'm not doubting the article I am just interested to know the timeframe in relation to the sorta alleged incident.

What is the difference from your point of view between this article of rumors and say the 2010 GF allegations or my News paranoia conspiracy laden dribble??? Personally i believe if you are willing to swallow some rumors/allegations but dismiss others as the ramblings of a nutter, well it comes across as a little strange and say agenda driven. IMO of course.


About that game and those allegations, my personal view at the time was I thought it was bullshit. Mainly due to the fact we had been playing that way, leading at 1/2 time then getting thrashed in the second 1/2 of many games, for about a year and a 1/2 before that. Looking at it now I must say there may be more to it than I originally thought. Definitely a dark time to be an Easts fan.


And some breaking News I know you will appreciate, the Wankos have announced on the radio news up here that there has never been any history of drug taking at their fine upstanding morally sound organization. That's seriously what was said. I for one appreciate and commend them on their forthright stance in helping clear the air on this most serious of matter.

The Broncos are as squeaky clean as News Ltd.

An investigation into Manly could reveal exactly why Hasler has been such a successful coach over the last 5-6 years.

Chook.

Is Des Hasler a super coach? Or is he a super chemist? That calfs blood shit,rooting goats etc did raise a few eye brows at the time.

On the ABC's 7:30 program tonight, it was revealed that the Essendon and Manly sports scientist, Dank, had some kind of obscure connection with Mr Ibrahim in King's Cross. I seem to recall the latter's name being mentioned as a friend of some of those 2009 Roosters...

Why would you hold a press conference if your not going to release any information, now all these rumours & innuendo are flying around painting everyone with the same brush. This presser today was a great smokescreen to take attention away from Craig Thompson and the Obeids by the ALP. It should have been held when they were ready to lay charges and name names.

Fark an amnesty. Man up, put your hand up, cop your punishment and help the game that has put a roof over your head and food on your plate.
Give the authorities as much info as you can to rid sports in general of this shit and the idiots who supply and administer it.
Straight up 6-12 month ban for players who fess up to taking banned or illicit substances, any where from 2-4 years if you don't. As for the coaches and sports scientists, LIFE. Just my opinion

Read somewhere that sharks are mainly being investigated for the 2011 season. leaves toddles out of that one.

[Geohood]

You can make a movie about this shit.

Reading and thinking back on 2009 gives me chills.

OK, stripping their 1971 premiership might be a bit strict, but how about they strip them of their next premiership, whenever that might be?
