Gareth Hock

[cpwigan]

Remember Hock has been tested umpteen times in the past 2 years and always been clean. He may have made an awful mistake and will pay the price for that. However, Wigan's players are tested an awful lot so let's remember that before we damn everybody.

It is awful news. Other than gutted not much one can say.

how does anybody think the club will respond to this and how the team will respond to this. Since the Celtic match up to this news the club has been in one of its worse times in years

Hopefully, the team can become tighter and respond positively. Someone is going to need to stand up re attack because that is where Hock was so influential.

We need to get behind the players because opposition fans are going to have a field day. All sorts of abuse will be hurled at our players, club. We need to make those players want to play for themselves, the club and the fans.

Sad, so sad.

I'm not gutted, I'm angry. Angry at the way he has let the club, it's fans and himself down. I doubt he will come back from this, he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer and the chances of him staying clean and out of trouble for two years, then training hard to get a contract in Superleague are pretty slim. I hope it's not the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if he faded into obscurity.

Again, he's a silly, selfish man.

that what makes this news even more shocking gaz knows how many times he has been tested and still takes the chance he has let the club the fans but most of all himself down with this stupid act

my thoughts exactly.

he's not your messiah....he's a very naughty boy :devi: :with:

[weststand-rich]

I have to say I am not surprised in the slightest.

This is a endemic problem in rugby league and I'm surpised that more don't get caught out. Cocaine has a very short half life and for him to get caught on a Friday, it will have very likely been shovelled up his nose in the days preceding.

Reasons for inconsistency anyone???

P n B we do not need it mate. Cut it out.

Maybe he should have had the same doping testers that Briers etc usually have!!
