The comments you make are at best crass and at worse libelous by posting such garbage you not only leave yourself open you also risk RLFans you have no proof that he will introduce Cocaine into the team or that he has ever been a supplier of a class A substance yet you imply it, one would think that this thread would be removed before it goes (again) too far.
'Penkys' offence was not about illegal (criminal law illegal) substances and Aspinwalls was for a motor related incident.

Do you have any proof of his drug taking? If not I'd be very careful about what you write. Just for your information I've reported your posts to the site mods in the hope that they remove you from the site.
Hock received his drug ban in 2009 and seeing as he's been back on the playing field since 2011 I have no doubts whatsoever that both the RFL and the clubs he has been playing for have been keeping a very close eye on him. Also, seeing as he's still playing I'm fully confident that Hock is now clean free from any substance abuse.

| Cheers for reporting me. I'll try and keep my responses as politically correct as I can from now on.
Well's he's been banned, can never stay at a club for over a year..... does that not ring any correlation to you?
I want him to do well, hopefully Rowley will tame him, but that's what people have been saying for 10 years plus!
When is his first game?

| My thinking on all of this is that Gareth has served his time for the other offences and while he is serving his recent one he will be embraced into the Leigh family and will start at Easter a much better player. One of the things that is noticeable about Gareth is that he doesn't like being in a loosing team. Which player does? I was at the Salford game and although it looked bad in close up slow motion I personally didn't think that it was anywhere near as bad as the two head tackles in the Warrington vs St George game. He is a victim of his past which he is going to have to deal with and I truly believe this is the best club to help him do it. As has been said he is without a doubt a top player and when he pulls that Leigh shirt on for the first time I hope he gets a rousing welcome form the everyone. Paul's quote in the press conference should be made into a flag, " Leigh RLFC. Familly Comes First". Well Gaz your are an adopted Leyther and welcome to the family.

| Hope he puts his 'chequered' past behind him and it all works out well for both parties.
Undoubtedly a very talented player.

What you say above is true but that's a bit different from accusing him of being a drug user isn't it?

| I don't want to see him involved in any of that , as any offence and the RFL will come down hard on him learn him to walk away and then we'll have an excellent player

| I really think we shouldn't be so quick to judge. I'm sure the powers that be have thought this through prior to signing him. Give the guy a chance lets see how behaves during the course of the season before we demonize him. He may prove to be an asset.
