According to Aaron Bower of RL Weekly...



"Can't emphasise how big a story in the league express tomorrow. It's huge"



Anyone? Eastmond isn't that big is it?

Bit closer to home Jonny.

Penky drugs ban confirmation,



But it wasn't him, he didn't do it lol

Not exactly news is it? Or big? Everyone's known about that for months?

In fact. I'm a bit p****d off about this, he went to school with me, as did his mrs and he's got kids. What a total moron.

No great shakes. This is the modern world.

Don't think we have heard the end of this, many rumours doing the rounds

Second drugs ban in ten years. I get that at 33 it probably ends his career anyway, but is two years long enough?



Maybe he should have got himself Kieron Cunningham's lawyer.

As they always do with this sort of thing.

The anti-doping agency didn't announce it.The RFL didn't announce it.Leigh Centurions didn't announce it.



Perhaps a New Labour style cover up was happening.



Strange how it only came out when the person involved spoke to the rugby league press.



How did Ritchie Blackmore get a visa to work at Leigh when he didn't have coaching qualifications?



Did they really bring someone from the other side of the world to be 'General Manager' and assist in finding commercial partners?



Some strange goings-on in New Labour heartland.Vote Burnham!

There were quotes from our Director of Rugby in the article so I'd consider it a Leigh Centurions announcement.



I'd expect the official announcement(s) to go out today, because weekends are a bitch.







Is it? Why?



I think the RFL are probably still undergoing due process, but Leigh and/or Sean wanted to move more quickly than that to put the news out there. That's why it's a League Express exclusive.







Um... WTF has this got to do with anything?

I'm not defending Sean at all, 2 years isn't enough and it's no deterrent for other players. Should just be a life ban, full stop.



On the random Ritchey Blackmore comment, I was involved at the club when he was there and he was nothing to do with the coaching.
