Are you on the same stuff?!  
How can you possibly claim he did nothing wrong? He broke the doping policy of the game, how is that not wrong? |

| Quote AJ="AJ"Wigan are reaching a crossroads.
We need a coach of the Wayne Bennett calibre, no assistant who we hope will come good.
We need a top class coach with top class methods.
As for Griffin - if we sign him and that is our only prop signing, IL needs to sack himself, that would be an utterly pathetic signing.
We need a world class halfback and a world class prop until we get that, we will struggle.
IL im sure understands this, he needs to act on it, acting like he understands at fans forums is no longer acceptable, he now needs to start dealing with the issues.
In the same way the pathetic Warriors World woman, the lack of merchandise, the missing "head of retail", the pathetic ebay cock ups, the falling crowds and so on, these issues now need to be dealt with.
I hope he sets a marker by handing G Hock his P45.'"
I'm starting to worry about your chairman, some of his actions and on other occasions lack of them make me wonder if he is the right man. Why did he go to austrailia? does he not have scouts for this? all negotiations can be done by video call nowadays so there really is no need. He came back with noone(that we know of).
I'm honestly not fishing, but as an example our chairman didn't go to oz, but his coaching staff recognised we needed a centre (obvious) and so approached possible candidates and came back with Soliola, same last year with Puletua. Its not difficult and i imagine that the "wigan" name is still a huge draw down under, more so than saints even, so what gives? |

If he has been taking drugs, there are no mitigating circumstances.
However, I think handing him his P45 would be the worst thing that Wigan could do. They should look after him properly, and ensure he gets the help he needs to sort his life out.
Hock is obviously not the sharpest tool in the box, and sacking him could send him over the edge. |

And make the biggest mistake he will ever make as a Wigan chairman.
Sack Hock or fail to work out a way to stop him going to a rival without us receiving major compensation and he will come back to bite us on the ass in a massive, massive way.
We should not come out the worst for this situation.
I’d personally bleed Hock emotionally dry if I was IL for the next two years with all sorts of community work. |

Sure there are. Claim he was drunk, abused as child etc etc.

Yes I am. You have to stick by your guys. All he did was took a sniff of some white powder. Really not all that serious in the grand scheme of things. If every city worker was fired for the same offensive there would be about 205 of the workforce left.
Send him re-hab, give him a smack around the face, and bring him back when he has served his ban (which we should fight to get as small as possible). |

I guess so, but if they are going to try the "He was drunk, abused as a child" defence, I want to be there as it will be hilarious. |
