The club should now test every player internally.

Ther have been rumours on this board for the past 2 years about hock and other players using coke and other recreational drugs.

The club chose to ignor this, now they should act and sack any player found to be guilty

I'm not suggesting it isn't a problem but to say 65% are on it when out on a Saturday night is just bollox.

65% is a ridiculous figure. 40% is a top heavy figure but is more about right.......A frightning number itself....but 65% out round town are not doing coke..... that suggestion is absolute bollox IMO and I go out regulary round town.

If 65 % were doing coke you wouldnt be able to get to the bogs for everybody doing lines!!!!!

Sack him. I don't care about other clubs signing him up in 2 years time, get him away from the club for good.

He has brought shame on Wigan and should never pull on the C&W again.

this has been the rumour for ages that hock has been on coke, and now it is confirmed. I like others hope the club start doing more internal testing to sort out this problem.

Why couldnt it be a $hit player who this happened to. There have been rumours about him for years , just hope he's not the [b]only one[/b]!

How utterly parochial insular and selfish. To lessen the embarrassment of Wigan you wouldn't care if many more were tested positive, then the whole games into disrepute and the image is knocked back years. Get a grip.

At the end of the day he is a drugs cheat and should be banned. No amount of cherry and white tinted gigs should change this.

Who's trying to change it? Grow up and strop trying to score cheap points.

Grow up. How is he a "cheat". It's hardly a performance enhancing drug is it you fool?


That said, what a complete idiot.


Let himself down, the team down and the game down.

So much talent wasted.


2 year ban if convicted, maybe he can come back having learned his lesson. Hopefully for his career he can, but it will not be an easy ask.

Gaz Hock should be sacked with immediate effect once results are in.
What message would be sending out to the kids of Wigan should we keep his registration? No player is bigger than any club..!!

Testing on all players (including Reserve & Academy) at all clubs every week (on random days).
No space in our sport for drugs - performance or recreational.

Cost to be split 3 ways between Sport England(UK) / RFL / Club.

The game needs to be seen to be taking action.
