Newcastle Knights Chris Houston on drug charges and stood down by club?

Newcastle keep coping it, but I thought this would of come out earlier after the Wicks incident, why leave it till just before the season start. It's almost as if they're trying to ruin the club.

You got my sympathy Knights fans.

Wow, he is the last person I would of expected to be caught in this. Chris Houston was one of their best forwards in 2009 and he will be missed dearly.

People underrated the Knights saying they were gonna come last etc, I thought they were gonna make the 8 or be there abouts, but now with these 2 incidents I would be surprised if they made the 8

When they said they were investigating another player everyone thought it would be Houston as they were roommates...so i'm not too surprised, just dissapointed. I just hope to god these are the only two morons involved. They haven't said anything about another player so fingers crossed. I'm so sick of this.

*sobs*

Not giving up on the knights though, still have plenty of good players and we will still try hard and stick together.

EDIT: Big S if they kicked a club out everytime a player did something wrong there'd be no clubs left.

Oh dear! that's terrible news for the Knights. As Nikita said, its not much of a surprise that Houston is being charged, everyone had some sort of suspicion it would be him as well.

And Bill is right, it sure does take away all the excitement from the weekends trials and their high attendence as well as the Storm winning the WCC.

That sucks, Houston's a great player, it's a shame that he's a part of this mess. I feel sorry for the Knights, they're a great team who don't deserve to be put through this trouble because of a couple of idiots.

What an absolutely $hithouse way to start the season. I hope it's not going to be 2009 all over again. I'll bet this takes all the gloss away from the weekends trials and the club champuionship.

Personally I'm gutted. now the knights are going to be known as 'the drug club'. this is going to haunt us for years. if houston is found to have been involved he has to go and i hope he gets a life ban from league.also a complete internal investigation is due by the knights.

oh dear, knights are in all sorts now if they werent already, some selfish idiots cant help themselves, it's not good enough that they are rich, healthy and loved and well known by all of Australia, they have to break the law and rub the games nose in u know what, hmmmm, maybe one day they will learn and we can clean up the image of our game cos it really is the best in the world

I cant imagine how crapola Knights fans would be feeling

I said my bit in another post but here I just got to say i hope they have a good year and shake this negativity.

Saw this on the news .. what a bloody shame!!

The Knights and their fans must be fed up to the back teeth.
