What do you think of Burton at HB & Dufty at 5/8 & Averillo FB?We've pinned our hopes on him as a marquee player.
Hes not here to play second fiddle. He will be halfback
Debate Page poster always said he was on the gear tho.Pinger was quoted as saying that he felt like he had more time than other players and felt he was a step ahead of them.
No doubt he was a great player, but for all we know he could have been on the gear his entire career.
And if it made him play the game better, it sounds like the E was a performance enhancing drug and therefore illegal.
But as you pointed out, he went his whole career without getting busted for it.
His drug use whilst playing only came to light after he retired.
Can you triple dunk and post a video of yourself kicking a footy? Just to confirm it’s performing enhancing, thanksPinger was quoted as saying that he felt like he had more time than other players and felt he was a step ahead of them.

Lol.Can you triple dunk and post a video of yourself kicking a footy? Just to confirm it’s performing enhancing, thanks
Yep, bottom line is if Johns was taking pingers during his career it only makes his achievements more impressive. Theres plenty more people to dislike in the NRL.Lol.
Anyone who has had a pinger knows they are not performance enhancing. It’s the opposite actually. You go on a downer for most of the next week so it would have affected his training.
The drug thing was so over blown. I am from Newy and have met him a few times. I know a few of his mates. He would get on the pingers after games maybe 2 or 3 times a year. That’s it.
He is not much of a bloke in the times I have met him so I am by no means sticking up for him. Just putting to bed bullshit quotes that he was drugged up his entire career.
There is an article in the paper today about Kodi Nikorimas young brother and his struggles with drugs and alcohol. He played with roosters and broncs and has signed for Storm next year.Yep, bottom line is if Johns was taking pingers during his career it only makes his achievements more impressive.

yep..but never let the facts get in the way of an overblown story(some gossipists probably have them still doing pills in the green room prior to match of the round lol)..i also reckon he is maybe a fair bit of a DH irl but these things go way too far.Lol.
