But the latest rumour I’m hearing is that during the Nathan Cayless tribute dinner, it was leaked that Matt Orford had all but signed with the Parramatta Eels and it would be announced on Wednesday.

So it does claim they are announcing his signing on Wed.

Whilst there is obviously a chance that the coke could have been masking something more serious, Hock was banned for taking a 'social' drug. Newton and Hudson were banned for performance enhancing drugs.

For me, that is where the line in the sand is for sacking. Stupidity and cheating are different things.

No drugs, no matter what sort, should'nt be tolerated in our game. But i think clubs and rugby league in general should do more to help players. Gareth Hock made a stupid mistake, but Wigan have stuck by one of there own, and hopefully he will learn from his mistake and come back the player he was.

Apart from Dave Watson who we signed.

He passively smoked that joint if you believed his tale!

Along with some violent &/or racist ex-cons.
