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: Wigan/Leeds Andy "He's banned full stop. Its on the previous page.'"



Yeah my bad, I was just reading through that actual PDF from the RFL site. Someone close to the club told me they were looking at ways of keeping him on, should have known they were talking b****cks really icon_lol.gif

I think he'll be playing for us again in 2 years mind.

I think its a joke that drug takers like Hock get banned for 2 years but players like Cockayne who beat someone to a pulp get away with no ban is a disgrace.

Cant understand some people and some of the comments there is no way the club should keep him employed, he dosent deserve a second chance the damage is already done. And to those saying he should go to schools and work with kids after what hes done COME ON PEOPLE GET A GRIP.

Happy time...:



He should be sacked. He's a professional sports player ffs, he is a role model and represents a club and to some extent a town. I think he wont be sorry he's done it, more likely sorry he's been caught.

And so what if he goes to another club in 2 years time, who's saying someone else who will be here then, who maybe a better player ,deserves to lose his place to a beakhead.


He was going to Wire anyways icon_wink.gif

TBH though it was a shame Hock wasn't playing at the end of the KR game tho when that THUG came in with his elbow. While two wrongs dont make a right he could do with a bit of hock treatment/ take his head off/ elbow to the face.

Players like cockayne should never play RL again....every away fan should boo that scumbag everytime he gets the ball!!

I would love nothing more than seing another player give him a serious injury !! we live in hope

Quote: andyed-wiganrl "because otherwise what message does it send........its only two years....players will risk that as there is only a slim chance of getting caught. Now end of your wigan career!! not many will risk it even if there is only a slim chance of getting caught.

Furthermore, if you keep cHock on then do you really think he's going to give up coke for the next two years!?
Amen!

It's not like he didn't know. I don't think other clubs should employ him after the 2 years, getting a very clear message out to the players is the only way to stop this type of behaviour.

"He made a mistake" seems to be rolled out quite a lot, do the posters seriously think this was his first time? His mistake was getting caught.

Dan Sarginson: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to join the biggest name in the competition" 18/10/2013 Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013 Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg



I wonder how many would want to keep a cocaine user if he was an apprentice, or a steward, or someone in the ticket office? It seems in the main that people want to keep hold of Hock purely for his rugby skills. I wonder if it was Tim Smith, or Richie Mathers would they be after the same result?
Rules are there to be adhered to, so if the rule is a sacking it shouldn't matter who it is.

True

I wonder if it had been string head at Saints instead of Hock, would all the same posters be posting the same drivel that Saints should keep hold of him, would they Bawllox, they'd be slagging him off big style, some posters are just scared that he might come back and bite us on the ass, personally i reckon we have seen the last of Hock within the sport, m,e thinks he will revert to his pre ordaned Chavy lifestyle.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG



From what I understand the ban coming from the national sporting executive means he will have his registration terminated so I can,t see the point in Wigan keeping him.

I'd keep him in some capacity for a couple of reasons 1, to give him the support that he obviously needs and obviously wasnt getting prior to getting caught, why let a talent go ta complete rack and ruins. 2, beacuse although he's broken the rules he deserves another chance. Of all the people on here how many can hold their hands up and say honestly they've never done something wrong at work, how many have never pinched a roll of sellotape, some pens or paper etc etc just becasue you haven't been caugh suddenly it must be ok to do it. Yes he's been caught red handed he'll take his punishment and carry on

BANG THE DRUM.............BARMY ARMY:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/HAFLING2.JPG



sack him, and if he goes down the green vigo route thats his decision.

if hes any brains he'll keep his head down for 2 years, then get back playing.
if hes no brains, then its the slippery slope beckoning.

i hope the lad keeps his head down
