I will back JoEy here and say sure he got caught and it got out so he admitted it but I know for a fact he isn't
alone in his use of offield recreational substances.

Ms Tee knows her shit when it comes to players offield activities.

On pure footy ability JoEy was a freak. Taking drugs off the field IMO doesn't come into his opinion on the game. Cos I guarantee there are others in the commentary business, considered legends of the game. Who were as bad or worse and have just never been exposed.

Never exposed so no need to admit, unlike baby kangaroo.

Easily best I have seen play the game since I remember watching from late 80s though.

The drugs Joey took weren't performance enhancing, they were 'party drugs'. If anything these would of detracted from his football. The bloke was a gun, absolutely is an immortal, as is Fittler. Do you guys really think Freddy was 'clean' his whole career?? Ask him and see if he can keep a straight face. Both were super players and had a great time on and off the field, good luck to them!!

It wasn't just Johns making inuendo's. Senile Warren also said something like 'Easts are the most penalised team in the comp, yet they still win... something doesn't add up'....sad old fart.

If the claims up thread are true about him doing Ice (which I doubt), then that would absolutely be performance enhancing. Eccy's, not so.

Was ice in its current form that prevalent during his playing days??

[Salvatori Grubber]

There's no 'current form', as it's chemistry we're talking about. But it wasn't as prevalent, you're right.

I'm just responding to someone else's post earlier.

I am so over this insinuation of us being cap cheats whenever we are successful by several people on Ch9!! It is downright defamation and David Gyngell should put an end to it once and for all immediately!!

Ch9 are doing more to destroy RL than the QLD RL administration or Super league has ever done.
The sooner they are gone from commentating on the game the better off the game will be.

That'll be a long wait considering the latest broadcasting arrangements.

Great post Billy. Channel 9 team are yesterday's men the bias is sickening - I usually watch the games with no audio but the past two weeks whilst back in Australia I wanted to hear the bias and dribble from this pathetic bunch of callers who have such a socio demographic hang up with the Eastern Suburbs. Gould I have never trusted - he plays both sides.

Apropos of absolutely nothing but which is worse, a player who took recreational drugs while playing or a player who led a gangbang while on tour?

[Salvatori Grubber]

Oooooh, good one.

Clearly you are referring to those Johns buffoons, but fwiw I'd say the Persian rugs are worse as they'll likely impede on-field success. If the gb is consensual, then it's none of my business.

I'd prefer neither occurring at Easts, though.

I'm not referring to anyone, just asking questions. We could get into hot tubs and paternity too but what would be the point?

[redwhiteblue]

Yeah they were talking about salary caps and Fitler was asked if he wanted DCE or Pearce in his team, Fitler asked if he can have both and Johns reminded him about that every team has a salary cap, except the Roosters.

I hit the delete button at that mark when I sat down to watch the pre-amble when I arrived home after recording it. I said as much to Horrie Hastings as well. They've lost me as a Sunday Footy Show viewer as well now. At least once a week a reference is made to Andrew John's substance abuse problems and they find it funny..It was better when it was an hour long as there was not much time for nonsense. Just the facts, updates and analysis delivered in a clear manner. We all now turn to other media forms to get this information without the overblown nonsense and ego stroking. This is why Channel 9 are losing viewers by the week now. We no longer have to rely on them to keep us updated.
