Give the lad a chance let him work with the kids but make sure he is clean from drugs ie test him every week this might be a deterant to up and comming players to keep off the drugs

I am all for giving most people a second chance.

Imo I hope he does get some role and I hope he learns from it, comes away a better person and focuses on exploiting his undoubted talent to the full.

Nobody said he should. They said he shouldn't be totally ostracised and treated like a leper.

He isn't, he got banned.

a lifeline or just a line

Personally I think Gaz Know`s this and if he is true to his word he would welcome it with open arms.

Secondly if he does comes back a better player his contract should say he is a wigan player until wigan see fit to release him.
