That was my reaction too. Another Wigan lad being caught out.

Oh dear.

Do you think he has any particular team in mind when he states that?

Can anyone explain to me why a test he failed in November is just being dealt with now?

I don't really know how the whole system works :S

They have to send it off to be tested, etc. Should've been sorted before the start of the season though. He's an idiot if he's taken a banned substance knowingly.

On Novemember the 5th he tested positive for firework powder but they let him off.





He used to be my favourite player when he played for us, it's a shame his career will end this way or maybe he will come back in the National Leagues.

I can't work that out.



With the Hock case he took the test one week, played for England the week after and then got suspended a few days later.



Why so long on this?

Nah he's finished if banned. He won't come back at 33/34 years old.

Used to love Terry Newton when he played for us, what a horrible way to finish his career.

Same here.



He was like a different player when he pulled on the Wigan jersey and has never looked as good playing for any other clubs. He loved playing for Wigan and the fans loved watching him.



He's been a prat and it comes as no suprise but still it's not the best way for a guy who's so well liked by the Wigan fans to go out.

But when they caught him drinking battery acid they charged him...

No excuse for them,but its sad that our game losses talented rugby players like those two (Newton and Hock ).
