Former player Danny Wicks sentenced to a maximum 3 years' jail on drug trafficking

[Kaz]

Former rugby league star Danny Wicks will watch Sunday's grand final between Manly and the Warriors from behind bars after today being sentenced to three years' jail for drug trafficking.
Wicks will be eligible for parole in 18 months and showed little emotion during the sentencing hearing.

In handing down the sentence, Judge Helen Syme noted that “from time to time, good people do bad things’’ and said Wicks was just “a cog - one of many in a drug supply chain’’

Sadly I don't have his number otherwise I would have called him already to thank for his great service to QLD.

 

[Fozz]

What a waste of talent.

Tandy was in court today too.

Not a good look for Rugby League especially in Grand Final week.

 

[Charmamba]

It's a great look for League, Our drug issue involves players who have been sacked or arrested. The AFL drug problem are players still playing and possibly some playing tomorrow.

Sad for his family.

They kept the Andrew Johns drug taking a secret.

 

[Big Pete]

And Shane Webcke's.

But the difference is a Dr prescribed his banned drug save his leg.

 

[Aeetee]

And he admitted it pretty much straight away:)

 

[Kaz]

ASDA and the NRL Dr, checked things out regarding Webcke.

His Dr just failed to put in the request form for the prescription.

Really irritated they never looked into the 'ring Gids'.

 

[Big Pete]

They still kept it a secret though.

 

[Kaz]

Probably so other not so honest players, didn't go to Drs & cheat.

 

[Coxy]

They still kept it a secret though.

So? Nothing untoward in it

 

[Big Pete]

I know but they still kept it hush hush. Who really knows what's going on in the NRL?
