Find it quite irritating that you’d use this as an opportunity to write another article and flog it on the forum

I disagree.

Dixie your post is over the top but I do feel your frustration, this with lo needs to be treated as a freak incident, nothing to do with team culture, the failed drugs test rumour would seriously worry me alot more because that would indicate a problem with team culture.
I know we had a great year last season but the damage of signing Zak hardaker could end up being irreversible if we're not careful, what worries me is that the players feel it acceptable to publicly pose with a guy who literally ruined our finest season. I think this rubs salt into the wounds of some of our fans.

I’m sure I heard that Greg Eden was at the family evening event last night and that his mother has refuted any drug test failure claims which are doing the rounds!! Does this now put this rubbish to bed !!!
Yes I think it's fair to say that the greg Eden rumour is bs! I'm glad that it looks like I have been told a few porkies! Lol good job too because we are missing Greg big time at the minute, we currently have no pace in the team!!!

You have summed up the public position pretty well. Perhaps though you could have mentioned that it is NOT just Cas that has the occasional problem with players' behaviour.

Look at the few weeks that Hull FC have had, Getting rid of their best prop and then their star play is filmed completely out of his box, abusing people. And, to compound his felony he was in a Mcdonalds!!!!!

Decent read though.

As we are reliant on pure speculation over the Gary Incident it's hard to make accurate comments but how on earth can the Club control the type of behavior being alleged.

I'm pretty sure the Club certainly are not advising players that that type of behavior is acceptable.

Nothing more than coincidence...

Do you really believe that clubs don't do in house tests? The problem is that things are kept quiet for obvious reasons.

Well Callum I think you are the spokesperson for Cas fans your not.
No it never been dull being a Cas fan but Ten points clear LLS Winners is not a wrong reason .
Just listening to the Sky team drooling over the drug cheat Ben Barba going to win tonights MOM
Touted to be MOS.Would be a very poor message.
Callum do you have journalistic qualifications?other than on here and forums have you anything in print.
Some of your articles are interesting but as you have been asked before stop proliferating all over the forum.

what gets me about all this is football. there are far more pro football clubs than rugby league. the players are on incredible money to spend on what they want but we never hear of them failing drug tests.

It is because in that sport, the tester turn up unannounced through the week, as well as can be tested after games.
One story line at Bradford City, was when Colin Todd was manager, and told the players drug testers were on the site and anyone who thinks they may have taken something report to his office. to his amazement 3 junior players stood in front of him and said they had taken something. When asked what, they replied viagra. Todd to this day is still walking round shaking his head.

Thanks for the PM Fumper, just got round to reading it. What you told me is pretty much what I was told so thanks for clearing it up. You need to be careful on here because we put things we know are correct, we then get caned then when we are proven right we get no apologies.
