At long last..........

Ban ends 23rd June 2011
Seems the delay confirming has been to allow an appeal which hasn't been launched.
Also suggests the club will keep him on or they'd have dumped him by now surely? |

Hmmm, it only says that he is banned from competition. Hope that this means he can have another role within the club. Its not very clear is it.

Not surprised really, he didn't have any course for an appeal so this was the only option open to him.
Good luck to the lad I hope he can comeback from this better for the experience.

Report on Sporting Life says he cannot have any formal role with the club until his ban is served. |

I'm not familiar with the case and i'm only making this judgement / comment on what i have read, but i am suprised that you would want such an indiviudal in and around your club still!  |

Why? are you suggesting we bin off the best second rower in the league after he has served his punishment! So a person or player is deemed useless after they have served a punishment breaking a rule of the sport, if he gets himself sorted and sees out his 2 yr ban then why should he not carry on playing rugby league???

| His brother in law and ex team Kevin Brown has been commenting.....
Quote: I think he's got his head around what's happened and he's determined to put his wrongs right and show people how to learn from his mistakes, ""I think he's got his head around what's happened and he's determined to put his wrongs right and show people how to learn from his mistakes,"
"Now he's got a two-year ban, he's got to keep his head down and keep believing he can come back a better player."
"Obviously he's devastated and gutted over how stupid he's been,"
"He knows what he's thrown away and he said to me watching that semi-final was one of the hardest things he's done. He wished he could have been out there with his mates.
"Hopefully he'll come back a better player and bigger person for it."'" |

He's just got to take it on the chin, and do his suspension.
Hopefully a lesson learned - the hard way !

I think you'd be surprised how many people who've been convicted of relatively minor offences still participate in the day-to-day life of the nation, without anyone really objecting.
I'm not a liberal when it comes to crime and punishment, but I'm baffled by this notion that Gareth Hock should not only be banned from playing for two years, but should also be reviled, cast out, marginalised, separated from his livelihood for the rest of his days, abhorred, exiled, treated like a leper, call it what you will. Why not go the whole hog and have him flogged, hobbled and branded as well so that, from now on, everyone will know he's an outsider and demand that he be forced to live on the fringe of society?
I can only assume that Gareth Hock being a Wigan player has clouded the thinking of several who've posted on here regarding this matter.

if Gaz Hock had been an average player would you still want him at the club.
he broke the rules and has to suffer the consequences......maybe being away from the club will sort him out properly this time

And as for the "if he was an average player" well thats the nature of sport and clubs will understandably do what is best for the club overall and keeping a good player is often the best option. |
