There isn't a chance they will change the decision, unless the original judge who set the precedent stated in the Obiter Dicta, the original case in which the precedent was set was an exceptional case. which by my knowledge and if i remember correctly has only ever happened twice in the history of judicial precedent.

Were on about the goons ducking and diveing to get drugy back into training before his ban Is up.
Your point about Raynor playing after he's been released Is irrelevant.

But wasn't Raynor released early from his sentence?
Hock will STILL not be ALLOWED to PLAY before his ban is up (quite rightly)

If the club he now plays for asked for him to be released early you have a point.
If not..

Not sure why people are concerned about Hock, he is a cancer, a disruptive influence, and crap role model for the younger players, much like Newton and Connoly were. Wigan have struggled with the drinking culture for years, and then the odd player with only half a brain cell takes things further. So long as the club gives a home to players like Gleeson and Hock, the culture will persist. Having him aroud the club will do far more damage than good.

a bit harsh, to me hock is just plain dumb. He appears to be the type of person who is easily led by others, but not malicously bad pad person
