Well the shoulder charge and concussion weren't the biggest medical issues in the game after all.

I'm told 6 of the Sharks players chosen for Sunday's game against Titans have been offered 6-month suspensions for early guilty pleas

Like they said, it wasn't going to be an immediate thing, and investigations never are. So it continues to unravel!
Some of us formed that opinion within a day of the release, and before the more vocal 'personalities' shared their view.
These types of agencies don't appear on the box and tell the nation all about a current and ongoing investigation into a criminal/terrorist element with a strong 'risk' of an offence being conducted. They keep it under wraps until they hit the key players with specific charges.
But this is different, right?
I think there is a difference between national security and sport.
But luckily everyone is entitled to their own opinion in this country!
Clint said:I know how we all felt when the Brett Stewart BS was going on. And that was just one player. I feel a lot of empathy towards the whole sharks club & supporters.
I hope whatever course of action needs to be taken, they just get on with it, and stop leaving them all "hanging".

It seems like some of the cronulla and players from other clubs may have continued receiving peptides etc from Dank at his Bankstown office after they were banned and Dank left the club. It is also possible that one of the cronulla players is acting as a whistle blower.
Manly is apparantly the next club. It is quite possible that ASADA don't have the necessary evidence yet and are offering 6 month suspensions trying to get someone to rollover and provide the evidence that they really need.

In the salary cap fiasco it was clear to me that Storm players should have questioned why they were signing multiple contracts for varying amounts. In this instance I'm not so sure that the onus is on the players to question the medical advice that was put forward. I'm sure it will come out but I would like to see some common sense applied for the player's sake if they were misled.
