this has been the rumour for ages that hock has been on coke, and now it is confirmed. I like others hope the club start doing more internal testing to sort out this problem.

How utterly parochial insular and selfish. To lessen the embarrassment of Wigan you wouldn't care if many more were tested positive, then the whole games into disrepute and the image is knocked back years. Get a grip.

Who's trying to change it? Grow up and strop trying to score cheap points.

Grow up. How is he a "cheat". It's hardly a performance enhancing drug is it you fool?


That said, what a complete idiot.


Let himself down, the team down and the game down.

So much talent wasted.


2 year ban if convicted, maybe he can come back having learned his lesson. Hopefully for his career he can, but it will not be an easy ask.

Gaz Hock should be sacked with immediate effect once results are in.
What message would be sending out to the kids of Wigan should we keep his registration? No player is bigger than any club..!!

Testing on all players (including Reserve & Academy) at all clubs every week (on random days).
No space in our sport for drugs - performance or recreational.

Cost to be split 3 ways between Sport England(UK) / RFL / Club.

The game needs to be seen to be taking action.

Keys son, keys

Its not only drugs though is it?

The club also reacted angry to reports of players being rat legged around Wigan if i remember rightly didnt Mr Leneghan kind of made out he wasnt interested unless the players were causing a problem.

Its time these so called pro sportsmen actually became pro's. There is no reason they can not have a few drinks after a game but to be smashed every weekend is unacceptable IMO. They have made the choice to be pro sportsmen,if they dont like the fact that they need to conduct themselves off the field like pro's then they need to get an ordinary job like the rest of us where on a Friday night we can forget work until Monday morning.

As mentioned previously, it's unlikely that Hock will be allowed to dabble in Union (due to an agreement with Sport UK).

Is there anything to stop Hock going to the NRL ?

a) Is there an agreement between RFL / NRL preventing this?
b) Would he be granted an Australian Visa? No crime has been comitted.
c) Vice Versa - SL clubs have not been slow in signing / attempting to sign up the dregs from Australia.

Isn't cocaine consumation illegal?

I feel quite shocked and embarassed that anyone who supports Wigan can if Hock is gulty can even think of keeping him on or want him in the future.

Our name is and has been tarnished and Wigan is better and bigger than any player. If we lose the ability to do the right and only moral thing we then loose too much.

Anybody who tarnishes or insults our name whilst employed by Wigan should and must go never to return. Once you allow standards of behaviour to slip you can never go back to the standards we want and accept we should have.

It is. But would he have a record for it?
