So hudge is going to stand up and challenge the RFL

good luck to him

This is a 1st but I totally agree with Hudgell

interesting to read in the league express that the oxy-elite gleeson was found guilty of taking is allowed by athletes out of competition time, that is 12 hours before a game, gleeson took his within this time. maybe the reason rule panicked and said the players were taking the same stuff, but within the guidlines, no doubt other players from other clubs will have been using oxyelite too but abiding by the rules

Pretty much. I don't have Senior's book in front of me but, to paraphrase, he suggests that had his offence been committed more recently he'd have been looking at a much harsher punishment on account of the rules having been tightened.

Does that mean that Longy is open to a ban now that he has admitted taking the drug?

Doubt it if that 12 hour thingy is true about it being legal. IN which case he has done nothing wrong. He is now just trying to defend his mate IMO.

Doubt it all the players could have taken it today legally. It's all about timing.

No, he didn't fail a test.

It really doesn't

Anyone asked Longy whose shop he got the stuff from?

I actually agree. Have been away and just catching up. Am still a bit embarrassed by it all though.

Interestingly, a report has finally appeared on BBC website...................

That will be his dads then !!!

Hudge is going to ask questions

Priceless!!!....after last years pathetic spectacle regarding Masongate and Dobsongate

Hudge should leave well alone. If he makes waves for the RFL there'll be no more special dispensations for the Dobbins.

It's only one -gate, no matter how many names you give it!



MHA-gate, Rule-gate, Gleeson-gate, Failed-drug-test-cover-up-gate - all the same thing.

Effin' useless temporary dispensations - a cover-up was what we needed and what I expect NH to demand one next time. A competent one ideally.

We should do a -gate amnesty. We won't ever mention X again, in exchange for you forgetting about Y.

All things being equal, Hudgell has hardly been flavour of the month at Red Hall for some time now. I would have thought he'd better serve himself and HKR by keeping his own counsel

Yes, the only reward he'll get for indiscriminately and randomly sticking his neb in here is that his RFL stock will be even lower than it was following Mason/Dobbogate. (That do you, MR?

)

Go, Grudge, go.

I'm inclined to agree. There isn't much to gain - directly at least.

Relations weren't great with your old board, so maybe he's just taking his turn to stick the boot in. It has been a long queue.

Or he might offer to pipe down, and on his way out happen to mention a couple of good candidates for the Red Hall disciplinary or something.

I'd be a bit queasy playing politics with this, tbh.

I said when the story first broke that there wasn't a cat in hell's chance of the RFL delving too deep into the cupboards on this one. Rudely waking a dozing bear isn't the smartest of moves

Nah......In fact it is 3 gate...King of Tongagate as well



Edit...4....Cardboard cutoutgate

You omitted bringyourshirtsbackforarefundgate

are we talking about mason or croker.
