I wonder if it's possible that they've scooped up all of them regardless of whether they actually ever received an injection? Could it be possible that some are holding out because they were never actually administered? Just a thought.

I remember one of the numerous earlier reports saying that gallen was away from the club at that time for some reason (origin or something?)

"If it sounds too good to be true...." keeps popping up in my head. I really hope this can all be dealt with sooner rather than later but surely this is just one hurdle we have to jump. There will definitely be others, including players suing our arses off.

Gallen has just accepted as well. Wonders will never cease. We can actually really start to move on.

Cronulla captain Paul Gallen is one of 10 current NRL players to accept an ASADA deal which would result in a 12-month ban, back-dated to November 2013 for their involvement in the supplements program at the club in 2011.


The players, who are set to be immediately stood down by the NRL, agreed to the deal on Friday morning after receiving assurances from the World Anti-Doping Agency that the terms would not be appealed by the international body.


Cronulla teammates Nathan Gardner, Wade Graham and Anthony Tupou are all understood to have accepted the deal, along with Newcastle's Jeremy Smith and Kade Snowden, Titans halfback Albert Kelly and prop Luke Douglas plus North Queensland centre Matthew Wright.

The suspension rules Gallen out of the upcoming Four Nations tournament for Australia, while Smith will be unable to represent New Zealand.


With the exception of Wright, the other players would in effect serve a three-match club playing ban as they would be ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Wright will miss the finals with the Cowboys and the Four Nations tournament for Samoa.

They're onbviosly not aiming for the players.

But it appears they've just received what they've been after all along - admissions.
