Shame I liked Mick.

Might sound weird but it might be good for him, his career has never really got going because of injuries. he is young enough to come back.
he can sort himself out, hopefully come back injury free. who knows what squad we will have in 2 years. i'd give him a 2nd chance, we gave Penky one that turned out to be a good call.

i don't condone drug taking though

I believe players use other things for that.

What an absolute idiot !!!!

A cracking RL player, but i won't condone use of drugs of any type, i hope he feels crap now after getting caught, of course, if he'd been a Wigan player he could have had his ban reduced with the prospect of a Wembley appearance in a fortnight and even a GF appearance as well.


I have no sympathy whatsoever with any sportsman who uses whatever they use, they know the rules, they know the consequences, waste of talent.

It wasn't just back then either...

In the past 10 years I've dealt with and been on hand to see a fair few of the games top players (including two at the highest possible level) doing things they shouldn't...

The ones getting caught aren't one-offs. The minority definitely, but not one offs.

My own personal thoughts echo those of Marillion Man. These lads get a good wage for doing what many of us dream of doing. If they make the decision to mickey there talent up the wall with booze and powder then its there own look out. They'll get no sympathy from me.
