Meanwhile, Triple M's Wendell Sailor spoke on his drugs situation.

"It probably cost me $1.2 Million for my two years out of the game," said Wendell Sailor, on Triple M.

“It’s not just footy, it goes on all the time outside footy."

Triple M's Ryan Girdler said it's not always the NRL's fault.

“It’s not always the NRL, they get blamed unfairly sometimes. There’s also the clubs Richie was at. He was at 6 clubs and they didn’t identify it. It’s sometimes too easy to just go – it’s an NRL problem."
