As it's Hock and Wigan

If it were one of our 'boys' I'd be ashamed and want them sacked. Hopefully Wigan will do the honourable thing...

the truth of the matter is that this is rife throughout rugby league in general with some clubs worse than others.

If it's rife, how come more people arn't getting caught on these randomn drug tests then?

Not suprised

Its showing the sport in a negative light to the media that is the problem, we could really do without any bad press at all but incidents like this condemn us to the media.

Ban him, Sack him, Burn him etc....

unlikely - as someone else said one of Wigans best players, had he been a fringe player - sacked immediately, being a strike player, I think the club will stand by him through his troubles and help him with counselling etc etc, much as saints did with Pryce

Because unlike Hock alot of the other players doing the same don't just have sawdust blowing about in their skulls!

Hock is a moron and has got whats coming to him but he's not the only player doing this(far from it) and it's a problem for the whole game.

I know to some it'll be a laugh because it's a Wigan player but nobody should really find this funny......................it's fooking embarrasing for everybody concerned with Rugby League.

His profile on the Wigan website is very apt

Gareth is a rough, tough, hard working second row forward who finished the year on a high.

As Ive said on the VT, I know of another instance of a player openly takiing it and being witnessed by various members of cherry&white

Good god. People do some silly things in life, don't they.

We'll say things like "what others would do to be in his shoes" etc, but at the end of the day twenty something rugby players are prone to doing some pretty silly things with themselves - drugs, spit roasting, D and D, assault the list goes on.

I'm sure when he's 40, he'll kick himself, but as Rod said "I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger."
