Who's Hethrington talking to in Oz? Buttriss? Falloon? Farrah? Obviously not Hodgson as he mentioned visas and clearances.

Falloon is a definite upgrade on Aiton based on his on-field ability. As for his off field issue (there has only been the one), I'm willing to give him a chance.... It was out of season,and he was just unlucky to be caught (though no charges have been proven anyway). It shouldnt have an effect on the Leeds culture - it hasn't so far - the use of recreational drugs is not a problem exclusive to Gold Coast. |

| The concern around alleged off field activities shouldn't be sniffed at.  This is a critical period for the club, the loss of some key senior players who have been part of setting the tone at Leeds for 10 years or more, leaves us slightly more vulnerable to bad apples damaging the culture that has served us well. The gent in question has been found to have no case to answer, that may be on a technicality or he may have been lucky or he may have been unfairly drawn into the enquiry. But I would be surprised if GH brought anyone into the group about whom there was any serious doubt. |

He sure knows his way to the white line.
I think his signing will be announced next week. Hope he fits in and does a job for us.

Its pretty clear that a bunch of Titans players were regularly using drugs. Falloon was one of a number interviewed. The fact that he and a few others got off because of the nature of their texts whilst others are being pursued doesn't change the stench of the thing at all. Most clubs would steer a wide path around any of the players involved.

I think I'm right in saying the guy was not found guilty?
If so are you suggesting we don't get someone who was simply questioned over an incident? Innocent until guilty anyone?
Also, sport is riddled with bad boy done good stories, not least the current man of steel! |

Don't put words or opinions in my mouth. I have no knowledge about what Falloon has or hasn't done, beyond what I've read and I didn't say that he was guilty. BTW he wasn't found "not guilty" As I understand it the case didn't go to trial for a lack of admissible evidence. The quote from the Tripple M report was:-
"Gold Coast Titans player Beau Falloon will not face trial over the NRL's drug scandal because of insufficient admissible evidence."
The Link www.triplem.com.au/sydney/sport/ ... g-charges/ for full story
My concerns are about the stability of the squad and the retention of the culture in the group which has served us well over the last decade and more. I'm sure that GH will be in a position to determine who will and won't be a benefit to the team across the piece. |

Too right. Let's get rid of that hardaker forthwith before he spots his opportunity to corrupt the squad.
In all seriousness, hanging a recommendation or otherwise on this non court case is very narrow minded. I'm sure Gary knows what he is doing and will take everything into account before signing anyone. |

From reading the various reports of the whole sorry affair, the culture at the Titans seems to be one about as far removed from that at Leeds as you could possibly get.

Are you hard of understanding, intolerant or just bored and looking for something to take issue with?
There you go again putting words and opinions in my mouth. 
You are the one bringing Hardaker in to this not me, are you saying he's a bad influence on the squad? if so on what evidence. I strongly disagree with you BTW
I made no recommendations based on a non court case, as you describe it. What I advocated was the GH protects the current culture by using his own judgement as to whether Falloon was a good fit with that culture.
Back on your high horse and trot on  |

And who's to say whether an individual, when placed in a superior club culture, wouldn't react positively to that both on and off the field.
The "culture" Paul Aiton was in at Canberra was also a bit, er, different to the one at Headingley. |

Spot on.
Leeds have a recent history of dealing very well with players who get into some bother. If this Aussie can play then this non court case is a non issue.
Amazing how short sighted some folk are. |
