Sutton would be a class signing, he is always near the top for try assists each season in the NRL. I don't think he will be one of the players Souths will offload, they are getting shot of Champion and Tyrell I think. So this move will be unlikely I reckon, would be a great signing if it could happen though.
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.
