Which is ridiculous.

It should be regular testing for all players no matter how difficult it may be, anything to rid the game of players who cannot appreciate the priveliged position that they hold.

It should be, and that would hopefully be enough to put most players off being stupid enough to even consider it.

Getting caught or not shouldn't come down to luck of the draw.

Your comment made it sound like you actually feel sorry for him.

All players should be tested each and every week if possible. That would sort things.

Ironically there's a few Warrington players who have been 'lucky with the draw' over the years. Fact.

Oh I don't dispute that. Quite frankly I'd prefer them to be gone.

I am beginning to hate this season, what else could go wrong? Now Hock, Crap season, O' Carroll injury, no one wanting to come to the club, IL all mouth no action, uncertainty re Noble.

Where do we go from here as a club???

Do we bring back Mossop, to help bolster the squad? Do we promote more youngsters do we go out and buy another back rower? Or is it just Hansen, Lockers, Bailey & Tomkins for the rest of the year.

Nope. I was simply stating the fact in answer to the previous post that had his name not come out of the hat he would have got away with it because they don't test all the players. From his point of view he was unlucky.

What an idiot ! A great talent wasted, but I can't say it surprises me.

This is obviously one of the rotten aspects at Wigan's core and could help us in the long run.

I have said there seems to be a lack of respect at the club and this proves the blatant disregard athletes have towards their employers and the supporters of him and the team.

What is more worrying is Gareth Hock was one of the players who did perform for us when on the field & yet he still took part in snorting illegal substances away from the field.

I would not be surprised if more Wigan players do this regularly which can affect the rest of our side & it all falls down to the lack of respect and authority our club has. Nobody is scared of being punished 'in house' and it has taken the RFL and WADA to hopefully send the message home.

Drastic action is now needed.
