I dont think that is entirely fair.



To counter WLAs view I would say there could well be a 3rd option (which I posted earlier in this thread) that the club want to keep him but know he has not sorted himself out yet regarding his problem -hence the silence.

Maybe thats true... but it only seems to be being discussed here...is the whole of the rugby league world, and the sporting world generally sat waiting a ststement? No... just people who seem they need to know all about how the club may or may not be trying to help a person with a problem. I don't feel i or we need to know anything. There is too much to be upbeat about... For goodness sake guys... get a life...

That's still a sack him or support him option though. In any case he'll be random tested during his ban and if caught again gets a life ban.

Well it is a Wigan forum after all.



I've not seen anyone say they want to know "all about the club" - you need to stop reading too much into people's views. Perhaps wanting to know what's happening to one of the best players at the club makes me a fan rather than in the need to get a life.



You're right there's plenty to be upbeat about at the moment, but wondering why the club is silent on this issue isn't going to cause the club to implode.



The club's scored an own goal when it could have been sorted month's ago and the happy clapping could have gone on without people upsetting you.

With whom?

With itself.

There isn't an argument.



You know nothing, I know nothing.



The difference between us is that you want to know what's happening now, regardless of whether that's possible, and I'm content to wait until such time as the club are ready to tell us. Not a major issue really (despite you wanting it to be).



In the long run - and probably in the short run - it won't make any difference to Wigan RL.

I am sure the club will apologise to itself in due course for not keeping itself in the loop.

Phrtttttt!

Who said they needed to apologise?

I've yet to see anyone post a reason as to why anyone other than those directly involved actually NEEDS to know anything more than we already do. Gaz Hock is banned til 2011 for drug use, all anyone needs to know for now.



Is it not reasonable to expect that the lad be allowed to get himself clean and the club do what it can/will to aid his recovery without letting every nosey barsteward and busy body in Wigan now how its going. What exactly is gained by constantly speculating if he's still clean/ever was clean/fallen off the wagon and what the club intends to do in two years time if he's a good boy and provided we don't find another superstar second row and if he still wants to play and if....and if....



Anybody who likes to hear public announcements about drug use/rehabilitation should find plenty to go at on Jeremy Kyle.

Spot on.... The point some people are trying to make is the the club said they would make an announcement...... I don't feel they have to.... As you said the resolving of this matter is personal, and only those involved need to know the details...Lets just wish him well, and let him get on with sorting his life out...
