I doubt it, he will follow the current trend of saying "no" to Wigan and sign for us.

Cocaine is different to performance enhancing drugs and is more to do with stupid lifestyle choices than cheating on the pitch. You can't treat him more severely because he is a top player.

The RFL should give him the standard two year ban and then draw a line in the sand, so to speak, and introduce life bans from next year with more vigorous testing. If it discourages players from doing it, then in the long term it is in the players best interests.

If a two year ban doesn't put players off, a life ban won't either. Some people are just that stupid and Hock fits nicely into the moron category.

Yeah and not just here, its rife in Australia as well.

Its fact that Hock will do his 2 years and the clubs will be lining up for him to sign up.

Its the club and fans thats been hurt here

Gaz Hocks been stupid enough to get caught once, if hes been tested positive in his B sample aswell then hes even stupider than we thought. Would i be surprised to see him get away with this with a clean B sample? No but his reputation either way is done forever now.

Again tho it’s the Wigan club that will feel this the hardest not Hock as if he’s to thick to realise in the first place the opportunity he had he never will.

As I’ve said through no fault of their own Wigan are going to have to sack one of our leading players and we aren’t going to get anything back from all the investment we’ve put into him.

Where is the justice when Hock goes to another team after his ban and scores a few tries against us!!!

The system is against the clubs and not the players and we lose out either way when it’s a player of Hocks talent.

He he.

I hope not tbh.

11-New second rower or Hansen
12-J Tomkins
13-O'Loughlin

bench spot-Hansen/Mossop/Flanagan/Farrell

we could use Baileys/Hocks money to get a top line prop out of a deal and re-sign Coley on a one year deal going in with a big front row and the possibility of Coley filling in at second row.

Looks likely, but I still think we would be alrite with Hansen, Tomkins, Flanagan and Mossop.

I do get the feeling that in time - something good may come out of this in respect of the Wigan club.

Cocaine is classed as performance enhancing.

And your club will be first knocking on his door. All moral will be thrown out the window when the time comes that a international class player is up for grabs.

Carry on we can bring a few of your players up if you would like?

What cheese's me off the most is that i've now got to go home and explain this c*** to my 8yr old now

the A and B sample are taken at the same time. If the A sample is postivie, they do a different more stringent test on the B sample.

Depends which girls you speak to.

Well it hasn't worked

Is this not the second time Hock has been found guilty of drugs offence?

I seem to remember him being caught before.

Could be wrong.

When he sees Hock sweeping the streets or stacking shelves and realises what he's lost it'll serve the youngster well.

Think B sample is done at same time but is a check just to make sure there was no external contamination in the first test. I think.

Ah right my error, hes going to get what he deserves then.

Would that be the player who you used to accuse but probably won't now seeing as he plays for you.



Only trying to lighten the mood, I hope it turns out to be a mistake as he's a great talent and will be a huge loss for Wigan and English rugby league.

So will the club sack him, or allow him to remain training with the team on an unpaid basis.
