To be fair mate its rife, in St.Helens as well. Some of my old friends think i'm strange for not doing it

I want him sacked also as he'd kicked us whilst we are majorly down.

BUT

What happens when his ban is up?

Why should Wigan be penalised by watching one of its best talents sign for someone else and receive nothing for it?

We’ve coached him, we’ve paid his wages and we’ve got him on a long deal so why through no fault of our own is it we come out the worst in this situation?

Can we keep his registration like clubs did with the likes of Pryce, Harris and Tansey?

At the end of the day he's been caught doing something alot of people knew he was doing and it comes as no suprise. He'll get the ban he deserves and as big a loss as it is to Wigan and rugby league in general i'm glad.

The club needs to sort out the deep rooted problems thats killing it and one of these is that theres a complete lack of discipline and professionalisim from the players.

This should serve as a warning to the rest of them and hopefully some good can come from it.

On the downside we've lost our best player and short term thats really bad but on the plus side maybe it'll teach a few lessons to some of our other arrogant over paid, over pampered pri*ks!!!

Get out your arm chair and see for yourself. Get real. Infact, on King St it could well be higher.

stop living in 1997.

has happened. a certain colonel loving number 9 had a spot of bother.

I'm not suggesting it isn't a problem but to say 65% are on it when out on a Saturday night is just bollox.

Hardly. get real and get out round King St.

Anyone who goes out often will know.

Its the same thing David Allen was banned 2 years for, ruined his career, he's a fool.

Are the players told in advance that the drug tests are going to take place or is it completely sprung on them?

Go out with a clipboard do you?



I doubt anyone would say it wasn't a problem, but to start quoting %s is just silly.

Its the same thing David Allen was banned 2 years for, ruined his career, he's a fool.

Well the anti doping or whoever does these tests need to get smart.

there are rumours of drug abuse, so lets warn them we're coming to test them. Sounds like a great plan

They should just turn up, unannounced after training, a match, even the players house on a sunday morning and say i want a sample now.

i'm not disagreeing the players make sure they are clean when the tests come around. So the system is failing and need overhauling obviously.

Like i said the testers should be able to turn up, without warning, anywhere they choose to catch these players.

Lets' hope he gets aid from the person who assisted a certain Mr Lawrence Dallaglio a few years back.

Shows the club is rotten to the core and has been for quite a few years now.

It made me laugh going into a Wigan club recently when the bouncers were signing a cocaine detecting torch up everybodys noses!

That shows how bad things have got with it.

I can't believe a guy would waste such a well paid and generally brilliant career by taking drugs.........................just proves as everybody knew, how thick he actually is.

You dont think anybody would be that stupid

Its just not gonna happen in the real world.

Just not what the club need at the minute, languishing in 10th place, a coach under pressure, and players not performing. Now we have Gareth Hock allegedly (and i will use that word unless proved guilty) taking cocaine.

The name of Wigan is going through the mud on and off the pitch, and it's time something was done to restore the reputation of the club.

It's an indication of what it's like in Wigan. I'm not going overboard its the way it is.

I'm sure they can with athletes.

They can just turn up and spring a test on them whenever they want.

No thanks I've got taste.

Yeah not good, one kick in the teeth after another, every year this club creates the biggest talked about stories in the sport, and there never good stories.

Disgraceful, everyone knew he wasn't the sharpest knife in the draw but I really didn't think he was that stupid. Idiot.

Sad day for Wigan RL

Almost finished reading Rads book now and its heartbreaking what our club has turned into from what it once was. All the respect, passion, will to succeed has been drained out, one of our senior players, the heart of our team has sunk to this.

Every year just gets worse and worse.

What a disgrace we are turning into.
