Parramatta has torn up Michael Jennings' $8000 a week salary while he is banned for alleged drug cheating.
Jennings was suspended by the NRL last October for returning a positive sample for banned substances Ligandrol and Ibutamoren and three of their metabolites.
The former Australian international currently works for a building company while he awaits a verdict.
According to Phil Rotherfield from The Daily Telegraph, the Eels will continue to provide welfare support but have suspended the 32-year-old's contract which expires at the end of the year.
Jennings has played 298 games and scored 154 tries in the NRL since his debut for Penrith in 2007.
He crossed to the Roosters in 2013 and then to the Eels in 2016, where he has made 105 appearances.
Makes you wonder if his strong performances in recent times , were also assisted ? Such as when playing for Tonga.
Once again ZT, you have exaggerated the facts. The story starts with the bold heading “Eels tear up Michael Jennings’ contract” then after further reading it says his contract has been suspended. Which one is it, because torn up and suspended have very different meanings!
Some of your articles are written in an immature & unprofessional way. Lift your game!
mreels, ☺😆😂
At least we banned him Panfers18 and didn’t let him play like you did with that grubby westy drugo Naden.
Seeing as Jennings is a Panfers junior it doesn’t surprise me that he is a drug cheat.
mreel, little man, Jennings was caught using performance enhancing drugs, as opposed to recreational drugs, there’s a difference. Hopefully, Naden is shown the door at seasons end. Also, only one player, one, from the Panthers that has been caught using drugs and, Jennings left the Panthers at the end of 2012, that’s 9 years ago.
Naden came through the Penrith system , through the pathways program for country players mreel. He comes from Wellington. Does that qualify him as being a westy?
It seems that Parramatta must have moved to the coast , while we were sleeping mreel. As I’d have thought that those from Parramatta are also pretty much Westies .
Whilst at Parramatta Jennings used his performance enhancing drugs. Norman was on drugs when he played for Parramatta.
Pot & calling the kettle black comes to mind ,when it comes to all of these things . As far as Parramatta is concerned.
Concerns over any drug use with Penrith players, doesn’t stop Parramatta trying to buy more Penrith players mreel. Such as with Crichton. Or poaching players from the Penrith juniors districts like Penisini . Who’s from Quakers Hill.
