Surely we will have to see if he is guilty before we can decide that.
What's for certain is that if he is exonerated it will have been very unfair on Wakefield who will have lost the services of a player through no fault of the club or Newtons. I suppose by default this would make him a bad signing.
If he is guilty then it is again a bad signing by default as clearly Wakey or Bradford wouldn't of known at the time of his guilty secret. Unless some on here are suggesting Bradford knew and were keen to get shot which would be a very stupid thing to suggest.

However am I the only one getting a little bit miffed that all the photos of him accompanying the articles of him failing the drugs test, show him in a Bradford shirt? He is no longer associated with this club and every negative story about him is doing exactly that (associating him with Bradford Bulls).
Isn't this shining a negative light at our club for no good reason?
Fair point but be fair we have only manged 40 mins from him so far, pics of him in a Wakey shirt must be as rare as pics of Scully in a Bulls shirt

However, there were a lot of 'positive' stories in the press following Tez being wrongly accused of being banned for failing a drugs test, in that the 'culprits' had to apologise, (and were being sued for libel - don't know what happened to that case).
The article linked to said;
Quote:Bradford Bulls operates a zero tolerance policy towards the use of banned substances and, with players including Mr Newton as effective role models, works hard in the community and with the Police to promote healthy, law-abiding lifestyles among young people generally and school children in particular. By publishing a full colour photograph of the player in his Bulls playing shirt alongside the wrong and misleading caption the Bulls' heard-earned reputation for anti-drugs work in the community was potentially damaged.
Now there's no evidence he did anything wrong at Bradford, and he's not guilty at the moment, but given the fact is that now he has been banned, albeit provisionally, for failing a drugs test, then some might think that there may ultimately be a certain poetic justice?

I suppose it's a matter of personal taste but the VT has a thread where our strip is considered one of the best this season, yours sadly seems universally despised - what can I say
