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.

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.

hell go to the gutter

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

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

As posted twice already in the last couple of pages - WE CAN'T KEEP HIM AT ALL, IN ANY CAPACITY.

so your saying theres no way or means for him to be kept at the club in any sort of capacity give over will ya theres ways and means around everything if they want to keep him they will.
