Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3422255, member: 2290"] let’s be honest for a moment about Johns being one of the few players that got publicly shamed for recreational drug use and not confuse that with Johns being one of the few who took recreational drugs. There’s the ones we know about like Sailor, Finch etc, there’s plenty of stories from guys who worked at pubs and bars during that era, Tallis even called the NRL crying about the amount of drug use in the Australian team during the 2000 World Cup. I’ve personally seen a player from that team looking extremely under the influence about a decade ago in a nightclub bathroom. There was also the QLD origin prescription drug abuse scandal of the late 00’s. One of our very own favourites was coincidentally with Johns and Sailor the nights that lead to them being caught and he was in both on that Australian tour and in that QLD team. Plenty of reasons to not like Johns but he’s the lance Armstrong of rugby league and party drugs - if you exclude every player that uses recreational drugs from your hall of fame you’ll have a lot of crossed out names.
