You cant help but feel sorry for the lad, victim of situation and environment it seems. He is at least grown up enough not to blame it on anyone but himself. He is probably our best player on his day, we dont have anyone who can replace him as such but that shouldnt be taken into the equation really. I think we should stand by the lad and try and help him get his life back on track, our badge says ancient and loyal. Loyalty is about sticking with people through the tough times and the bad no matter what, to do otherwise would reflect bad on Wigan in my opinion. Offer him a reduced contract for a couple of years, keep him in the picture etc.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

We're not allowed to. He will be banned from all facets of the game and the club. |

Are you sure, I thought he could be given a community role, I read that he is just banned from anything to do with playing/training etc. |

Not 100% but I don't think he can be paid by the club for anything to do with RL.
We should know within the next 8 weeks. |

23 - 20 - 4
Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

| Quote: AJ "Are you sure, I thought he could be given a community role, I read that he is just banned from anything to do with playing/training etc.'"
Yeh he's banned from any activity at the club except for the rehabilitation programme - which could actually involve community work I suppose. He wont get paid a penny by Wigan but they wont 'sack' him either from what I've been told.
Quote: AJ "A Person who has been declared Ineligible may not, during the period of Ineligibility, participate in any capacity in a Competition or other activity (other than authorised anti-doping education or rehabilitation programmes) organised, convened or authorised by the RFL or by any body or Club that is a member of, or affiliated to, or licensed by the RFL. In addition, save where the Doping Offence involved specific substances as described in Article D3
Another interesting point...
Quote: AJ "The period of Ineligibility shall start on the date of the written decision of the Anti-Doping Tribunal providing for Ineligibility.
Any period of Provisional Suspension (whether imposed or voluntarily accepted) shall be credited against the total period of Ineligibility to be served.
Where required by fairness, such as delays in the hearing process or other aspects of Doping Control not attributable to the Player, the Anti-Doping Tribunal may provide that the period of Ineligibility shall start at an earlier date, commencing as early as the date of Sample collection.'"

If he gets a 2 year ban does it start from when they announce the ban or from June when the test was done???

I do understand it. I think two years is a sufficient ban and perfectly justifiable and sets out a deterrent to other players.
My point was more the lack of consistency of other off field incidents which happen in which the RFL don't get involved or even seem to want to take a stance on. For me GBH is a much worse offence and although it's not "in the rules" the RFL should ban people who commit this offence also just for bringing the game into disrepute. |

.....The only possible loophole that will keep him at wigan. Hock isnt clever enough to come up with that himself.
