| Quote ="Rogues Gallery"To the Saints fan poster
He is fit, but maybe not rugby fit.
At a recent "test" he did the hill run, and was timed. His time was the fourth fastest of any forward currently at Wigan. When someone has been out of the game so long it will take tio
me to get to match fitness.
Someon asked how tall Hock is.
He's about 6'2" which I think is about the same as Peacock, just to give you some idea.'"
JP is 6'5" ! |

I hope he comes back well. He's a big strong forward. If he can cut out the errors from his game he could be an immense player. In any event, on a purely playing basis, a fit and in-form Hock would walk into Leeds' pack (he'd probably also walk through it at the moment).

| Quote ="Jonesy's a Legend"hypothetically speaking here,but couldn't hock have been training on and off at wigan during this ban?
surely any sessions carried out at an un-named/irregular training base would seem to be safe enough venue would it not?
what is the rfl deterent to this?'"
Because it makes no sense whatsoever for a team to foot the bill, and have the added inconvenience to covertly uproot to an unfamiliar training ground to allow a banned player to train "on and off". Can't see why the RFL would need a deterrent?!
I can't see what Wigan or Hock would gain from him having the odd secret training session here and there. |

That may well but there is no law saying that once a rugby player reaches a certain ability he has to get paid at least minimum wage. |

The ban was not harsh on Hock, it was the right length as stated by the World Anti Doping Agency which the Rugby League is signed upto, as for that brilliant club player (garbage at any level above that) Cunningham is fine was for a offence before the RFL signed upto WADA.
If he trains with the pieeaters before is ban expires, he should be banned for the next four years. |

Get him back playing ASAP. England could do with him at the end of the season if he can find his pre coke form.

and you know precisely when his pre coke form was? I only ask because I don't think he was tested every week and was picked up as part of the random testing programme.
Who's to say when he started with it?

Hopefully lesson learned.
Good news for SL and I hope he comes back as good a player as when he left it.
He had a few areas of his game still to work on (ball retention and discipline wasn't always the best) but he had all the right ingredients (included some mongrel) to take it to the Aussies and Kiwis.
