As I understand it Harrison was not caught by WADA and was caught out of competition, hence he did not come under their jurisdiction.

Hock was caught from a sample taken after a game and as such was subject to the WADA guidelines.

Well take it up with the RFL.

Hock was caught under WADA regs and was punished in line with their policy.

HGH is performance enhancing, which is a year-round no-no. "Recreational" drugs are only illegal in-competition.

Quote: P-J "The problem was he threw the offloads even when there wasn't anyone there. Not to mention he tried to offload when his arm wasn't free. He often played like it was the 5th tackle every time he carried the ball.'"


Of course Gareth Hock was prone to moments of sheer stupidity, but you have to remember he was in a poor side that was poorly coached. We were famous for one man rugby. No dummy runners, no runners off the ball, poor formations and structures.

And was still a regular selection for GB/England, despite that.

Exactly. He's a game winner, I'd have him in the squad even if he played like he did before he was banned. And I'm sure under Madge's tuition he'll be even better than that.

I'd accept the criticism that he doesn't fit into our new style of play if that was the case if he was actually back yet and played like he didn't. But we aren't professional coaches and I'm very sure they will have accepted his style of play is different to our current one.

Let's just remember in a few months we're going to have a forward back that was one of the best in the league 2 years ago. Is that really that bad?

I gather its nearly time for his return but is he coming back to Wigan? Just wondered as it seems to have gone quiet on him.
