I'm stunned. Can't believe it and I had to read the article on teletext numerous times for it to sink in.

I can't understand why anyone would risk their short career by doing something like that? Doesn't make much sense. I really hope it is a mistake but I doubt it.

Real shame because Gareth Hock is one of the most talented players at the club and one of our best players. A wigan lad as well.

I just trust the club to do what is right. Call back Lee Mossop

Personally, I can't see Gareth Hock returning to top flight Rugby League again. I don't think he's got the correct mentality, attitude or those around him to help do it.

I can just see him getting banned for two years, getting a labouring job and playing for an NL2 club after the ban for extra income.

What about after that? Or are we not allowed to speculate / voice opinions at this time?

He will almost certainly have his contract cancelled if the b sample is confirmed with wigan retainign his registration
