NRL teams were asking about him before he signed his 5 year deal with Wigan. |

As others have said, he was stupid, he got caught, he served his ban, so what's the problem?
I think it's a bit of sour grapes on the OP's part

RL players are human like everyone else.
I have never been a fan of Hock.
But he has paid the price, served his time and hopefully learned a few lessons.
So pack it it guys, and welcome him back. Let those who are without sin cast the first stone, eh?

| Quote wakeytom="wakeytom"I think you are missing my point, it was nothing to do with Wigan employing him, it was the media making a big point about how well he did scoring a hat trick against Wakefield, and on the radio pretty much coming across as saying that taking drugs is not a huge problem as you will always be able to play again.
In regards to another point saying about a fan sniffing coke in the toilets - if the police saw him then he would more than likely get arrested, potentially get a conviction which would lead to the sack by many companies and the normal man on the street would then find it hard to find another good job, so actually sport on the whole is very lenient with drug users.'"
So you're against the media praising players who are playing well because they have done something wrong in the past? |

As a Wakey fan I'm glad to see him back. Excellent player, he did the crime and served the time, no complaints from me. Get him in top form and he's one of the few players who can cause problems for the aussies

Wigan as a club are morally reprehensible so this is nothing new for them.
Their fans might think it's great the press are bigging up Hock's triumphant return, but they are only doing it so they can mention his drug taking again.

Define "morals" and then people will have a base from which to understand what you are complaining about, otherwise I, along with probably the rest, who read it do not understand. |

It seems to me that if you've done a crime and come back from it, you are better thought of than those that have never broken the law in the first place. Hock should not be congratulated at all. Neither should Wigan, because if anyone in the real world was caught doing what Hock was, they would not be rewarded with a better contract.

How is it a "Better Contract"?
Please enlighten us to the workings of his wages if you don't mind?
PS
Don't give me 5yr contract B0ll0x, how do we know if he's now playing for Half of his original wages at the time he was caught? |
