No, first time.

Yeah the exact one plus a few more

I know your only having a laugh but it's a bit too soon and i aint just gutted cause he plays for us like you said that is one bullet less for the aussies plus the fact he's 'so called' had a few close shaves before

My thinking at the moment if brains where dynamite he wouldn't have enough to blow his hat off

way hey!!!



d1ck

Well it sorts aids our recruitment of an enforcer prop now. We only need to look at a player capable of giving us 2 good seasons with Hock coming back to the club in 2012 as our enforcer Prop replacement.

May not be ideal but i will put money on it happening.

l don’t think he would be allowed to 'train' or perform any rugby related (paid or not) activities while he is or maybe banned!

Do not agree with your post here, he should be sacked and also told he will NEVER play for this club again.

These guys are role models for kids , and also proffesionals , he should be made an example off, and the club should show a zero tolerance for any kind of drug issue.

He's suspended until Sample B has been tested. He isn't training or doing any club related business.

ive said that for the last 2 years

Pay him to be a steward at the back of the South Stand. He'll sort the fekkers out.

"Sort them out" with what though?

Not sure you want him dealing as well as abusing

Alot will depend on the attitude of Hock himself.

If he has any sort of remorse maybe theres a hope for him but if this is just water off a ducks back for him then i'd bin him off in an instant.

That is just asking for a one liner (no pun intended)

Naughty.

What about after that? Or are we not allowed to speculate / voice opinions at this time?

Either way want to keep his registration.

Absolute idiot.

what did paul merson do at nal , iirc he made a press conference were he deplored his actions and admitted he needed help .

I hate hock so have no hidden agenda but surly banning him for 2 years then letting him come back sweeping the matter under the carpet is a negative approach.

i think it would help if he was to do some sort off community work within the wigan area about what an ass he as been

If Hock was banned from today, he will be a couple of months short of his 28th birthday when he is eligible to play again, assuming that he has a contract sorted for when any ban ends. So he will be entering the season when he will become 29 when he is due for any sort of prolonged rugby.

I know his body will be in better shape than some, but a comeback from a two-year lay off at nearly 29 sounds career ending as far as the top flight is concerned. Some of the smaller clubs might be interested, but I can't see you or any of the big money clubs willing to risk much money on him. He has blown it big style.

That **** Ryan Hudson was older than Hock when he got banned. But he came back.

And after the test is announced IF found guilty he should never be allowed to set foot near Wigan RLFC again.

How many kids shirts have been sold with his name on. He was a role model.

If he wants to go down that route, let him get down to Boots with all the other druggies asking for his methodone because we all know that is how it will end up.

Now who is available with his cap money.....

Theres all sorts of promises Wigan should make him make(and keep) if he wants to have a future with us after a 2 year ban.

If he isn't willing to make these he should be sacked off without doubt.

Disagree.

If he doesn't go completely off the rails in his enforced absence, he'd walk into a top side.

Look at Wendell Sailor - much older AND had been playing RU before his Hock Break - not many problems getting a gig once his ban ended.
