I doubt that there will be any shortage of teams willing to offer him a nice large contract when his ban is up. Everyone knows that he can be a gamebreaker on the pitch and it is up to the people in charge at wigan whether they want to sign him up again or not bearing in mind that this is one guy that will be able to come back and make you regret letting him go. We have to make these decisions now though as how the club approach this issue now will determine what he decides to do in 2 years time. Personally i would like to think the club would try to help him through this time and then try to reintroduce back into the game if all has gone well once his time has been served.

I think they will support him and I have heard a few rumours from within the club that they will.

He will get his punishment from the RFL and the club will be hoping he has learnt his lesson.

Its not all doom and gloom cos it means we can use Hocks space in the team to give Mossop and Farrell some chances. When Hock eventually comes back it hopefully we will have a much stronger squad. Hopefully the young kids will be more experienced and becomming stars in their own right with a small mix of some decent overseas stars we could be in with a chance of challenging in 2011/12.

I think next year we need to bring in a prop and a halfback and develop as many young kids as we can into positions all over the park.

At the end of the day, pal, it won't make any difference what I say. When this has all blown over, Hock will still be a young bloke with a big house and a huge wad of cash in the bank. You, on the other hand, will still be Sgt Wilko, the Leeds fan who spends most of his time posting on a Wigan message board. You figure who's the sadder.

Actually he doesn't have a big house (not a tiny one though). I almost, unknowingly bought the semi detached next door to his house...he was trying to sell it and has been for 2 years or so though...wants far too much for it mind

I have tried to read through most of the posts on Hock to see if a decision has actually be made by the Rfl. Been on Rfl site still can't see anything. Didn't he have his B test done yesterday. Anyone enlighten me. Sorry if I am being dim and this has already been covered.
