If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

Should have been an interview with the club's website... Not the papers... Bad PR idea for me.

Oh i'm not naive enough to realise its not about money. But i just think that if he wanted to try to redeem himself with the town, club and fans (who paid his wages to buy the sh$t) that another course may have been wiser...

I still don't see why this is a two year ban. Yes it's illegal but he wasn't taking it to get an edge over his opponents. For me a sentence or probably a fine would have been fair enough. Why do the rfl interefere with off field incidents like this but don't do anything about assaults like Feka/Cockayne/Pryce and they only banned Long and Gleeson for less than a year for betting on their own team to lose. Far more bringing the game into disrepute than what Hock has done (Please do not even allege such things. DaveO

Regardless of the fact he's done the interview for money, its obvious that he knows he's cocked up and he wants to get clean and make up for it. If everything he says in that interview is true then I wouldn't have a problem with having him back at Wigan in 2 years time.

The club have stated publicly that they will not comment on the issue until it is fully resolved.

It's a two year ban because the RFL sign up the WADA rules and regulations and the those rules say if you take Cocaine you get a two year ban. Simple.
Everybody including Hock knew this beforehand so its pointless saying its harsh because he knew what the penalty was and that it was not going to change because other players have done things some people consider worse.

Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

Another article here,

According to this he's not even met any of the players face to face since his results but the players and club have offered him support and everyone seems to be sticking by him. He's going into rehab and determined to get clean and come back.
He sounds like he's going to do his best and genuinely wants to get back so I say good luck to him and hope he does. |
