We have some news from a media manager at the Raiders after the rubbish today.
The Raiders position on this situation is that they are awaiting outcomes of discussions between Orfords Manager and Bradford before getting a response to the deal offer to him.
Until this has been resolved there will be no announcement or comment either way regarding his potential signing with the club by the Raiders.
Whilst there is obviously a chance that the coke could have been masking something more serious, Hock was banned for taking a 'social' drug. Newton and Hudson were banned for performance enhancing drugs.
For me, that is where the line in the sand is for sacking. Stupidity and cheating are different things.
No drugs, no matter what sort, should'nt be tolerated in our game. But i think clubs and rugby league in general should do more to help players. Gareth Hock made a stupid mistake, but Wigan have stuck by one of there own, and hopefully he will learn from his mistake and come back the player he was.
