AJ: What are you talking about? The question is both serious and valid. In other sports (and at other RL clubs) steps are taken by the management team to ensure players are not just informed about the perils of drugs - whether they be performance enhancing or not - but also have access to a pro-active range of services (counselling, community support etc) tailored to individual needs which are designed to minimise the chances of sorry events such as these occurring again.

I would have thought a WIGAN FAN would know better than to think such discussion is off limits.

FYI - the club has declined to answer the question.

I'm pretty suprised at that tbh - I would have thought all clubs would have transparent and open policies. If they dont they should have. (And yes I include Saints in that too before I get the typical stupid response)

Don't try and hide what you were trying to do, this was clear trolling:

For not keeping a tight enough rein on its players, Wigan should be FORCED to count Hock's current contract for the duration of the two years he'll be out of the game.

Had that been levelled at your club, I suspect the poster would have been banned from the Saints board.

I haven't the faintest idea what TE mods would do. That's their business. But, FWIW, if I were in your position I'd want to know whether the players were getting the best advice and services possible. Wouldn't any fan?

Why exactly should Hock's illegal actions count against Wigan's salary cap quota?

Because he wants to see Wigan screwed over.
