Seventeen past and present Cronulla players have received show cause notices over the club's 2011 supplements program, according to a news report.
News Corp is reporting that the players met with the NRL and ASADA at a meeting in Sydney on Wednesday morning, following a briefing by the players' legal representatives.
The players were reportedly handed show cause notices - signalling ASADA's intent to charge athletes with doping offences - at the meeting, and given 10 days to respond.

The AFL must be out to get them too!
Another AFL/ASADA joint investigation I assume.

Hopefully the NRL players don't take the cowardly option and instead respond to the show cause notices. If infraction notices are handed down to rugby players while Essendon's season is still alive there is going to be a massive shitstorm.

Yep I can see Rugby League getting done and Essendon getting off scott free. That will go down well in Brisbane and Sydney....
It was always going to happen eventually.
Maybe a little more eventually than expected, but nonetheless.

that's just stupid, frankly. They are separate cases

Paul Little has seen the evidence and told them they have nothing to worry about.

Should be, but in the court of public opinion they're linked, so if one goes and the other gets off, the excretion will come into close proximity to the rotational air conveyance device.
interesting too that ASADA are acting now, when they've held off for quite a while. Wanting to get it done before Middleton reports? Or just that they now have all their resources freed up given they can't do much on the AFL side?
Probably the latter I guess

The Sharks are no longer the financial basket case they were when this all went down. However, the club doesn't have the resources to do what Essendon are doing. The current board is collectively stupid enough, they just can't afford it.
more pertinently, they have no grounds to challenge it in the way Essendon have

I would say that if ASADA were spooked from the court case they would have been smarter to wait for the outcome. They must feel confident to forge ahead.

Given Middleton is largely about AFL/ASADA cooperation, which obviously isn't relevant to the NRL, I doubt there is any connection to the case.
As you suggest, the investigators/legal team, having finished with the AFL put their minds to dotting the i's and crossing the t's on the NRL case...looks like it took a couple of weeks.

The cases whilst separate are very much linked. My guess is it is the former not the later and this is a tactical strike. They knew Essendon was going to come at them for about a year and people said they were doing nothing. This isn't a coincidence.
I suspect they do. The NRL sat in on the ASADA interviews. It has been the same process as I understand it, except that players had the right to silence.
So that's now 51 footballers been Danked with Gold Stamped SCN's for PED use.
