Why would i make that up? What lie have i EVER told on here. I have let you know about transfer deals, players leaving etc and tried to keep people up to date with things i know. Whatever anyway. I know what i saw and who i saw. Bellieve it if you want, deny it if you don't. Makes no odds to me.

I understand and the chances are, unless you filmed it, they wouldnt listen anyway!
I hear regular stories of this sort of thing and unless the general public start reporting it to the club, or even better the police, nothing will change
Its a sad state of affairs all round

Because if you saw the incident and cared so much about the club/sport you’d have reported it to the club and secondly if you think Wigan are the only club where this is happening then you’re in for a rude awakening

| Players literally can take drugs but not on game day, something like that I’ve heard. Eg if they test positive during competition which is on the day of a game they get banned, if it’s the day after then they don’t.

As i said. It has nothing to do with me if they want to throw their careers away. They will get caught eventually. I won't go snitching to the club, If it was a bus driver or something then tthat would be different. I know it happens everywhere, no matter of the class of bar you go in but for every 1 player of other clubs caught we have to have an incident to match it. Sick to the back teeth of it. I have certain values, values that are very rare and i sit here and watch while society disappears down the toilet. Where the hell are we going to be in 100 years. What kind of life are we leaving behind for Kirk Douglas?

I used to send people for drugs test in a former job. The problem is that cocaine only stays in the blood stream for 2 days. This is why we need to start testing hair follicles. A strand of hair is like a tree, you can go through it like a timeline. Remember when Britney Spears walked into the hair salon and shaved her hair off and everybody said she had cracked up? She hadn't that's what she wanted people to believe. The truth is that she was about to enter a court battle for her kid(s) and both parties had to undertake drugs tests. She knew she was going to get rumbled. And women pretty much shave all their body hair so no way of knowing.
Anyway that is my last comment on the subject. The club needs to act once and for all or we will be seeing crowds of 5000

Just on this . My mate a saints fan showed me a screenshot of a snapchat (photo for those of you that don’t know) of a current international saints forward doing it the night of the playoff semi.
Drugs are rife in our community’s and the truth is they are rife in rugby league too. It’s not just our players and club so please get off the bandwagon.

Tough time for the club at the minute. As a club who many opposition fans love to hate due to our success, we need to try and avoid any situations that give people ammo but sadly we’ve given them a full nal recently.
It adds to the issues the club are already facing and at some point the owner needs to front up and tackle things one by one.

| It’s a real shame for a kid to potentially throw his career away for something like this.
As he’s confirmed he has gone to Australia to be closer to his family I doubt he will come back even if he is wanted.
He’s not the first and unfortunately won’t be the last.

| This just galvanizes the players. I am not worried. Gabe was very well liked by players and staff alike, he will be ashamed but he has had a very very rough few months in his personal life and a return to Aus was on the cards early Jan.

I’m not convinced it’ll be the last we see of him tbh. Depending on what he’s supposed to have taken, the club would probably choose to stand by him or run the risk of being called out as hypocrites after taking on Zak Hardaker.
It’ll all come out in the wash regardless. It’s a shame to lose the lad as a player because I think he’s got a lot of talent.

Spot on. Rugby players are no different to anyone else in the 20-40 age group. It's a horrible disgusting drug but let's be honest, rightly or wrongly, it's become part of social culture.

Not the clubs fault there is a culture?

I fully believe you. It's not uncommon in Wigan. Has been this way for years. Anyone who knows or has been close to the lads/game knows it's the norm. Like having a pint these days.

| Absolutely, and people who don’t think it is common in the game are burying their heads in the sand or extremely naive. I have witnessed it past and present, in fact you don’t even have to see it happen.
Let’s just say high profile players should be a bit more self aware than be going to the toilet cubicle in every 15 minutes
Shame though, Hamlin had bags of talent...

The only people being let down are the players involved ... by themselves.
Stop being so bloody melodramatic. You sound like an enemy of the club rather than a fan.
The whole culture of modern society is warped, but that's no more Wigan's fault than it is yours. Players drink driving. Players taking drugs. Did Wigan Warriors encourage any of that?
We've won countless trophies (and rarely in modern times by buying in megastars). We've flooded the game with junior talent. We've led the fight against the abysmal RFL. We've very publically got rid of players who simply couldn't reform their stupid ways. There're lots of reasons why Wigan are a poster club for things that are good about the game.
