Answers a lot this.
Swinging his arms all over the place, always looking for a fight, talking incoherent drivel.
Looks like Wigoon will be off to Oz for a replacement pretty sharpish

Has Luke Adamson signed his new contract yet because they may buck the Aussie trend and look at home for a cheaper replacement.
Then again it might all be a big mistake and Wigan manage to get him off scot free, i.e. he had been to the dentist and they had used cocaine so they could do a filling for him.

In an athletics event the result would be reversed on the grounds of cheating.
I don't think for one minute the RL have the neck to make this happen but what is the difference? I guess one could argue that RL is a team event and not an individual event but it appears Hock contributed illegally to the win.
In principal the Salford players, coaching staff, officials and supporters have been cheated and it makes you wonder if he was on the stuff the week before when he played a blinder, scored two tries and made a significant impact in knocking us out of the cup?
I suppose some would argue that this SL result is meaningless anyway for Salford without relegation, but I wonder what the outcome would be if this would have happended after a Grand Final?
Personally I think the RL need to make an example and reverse the result to prevent a similar thing happening in a potentially more important fixture in the future.
The RL could use this as a detterent to other players who may be tempted to take drugs, just imagine how badly a player would feel if a cup final result was reversed?

Its Wigan nowt will happen, they cheated 3 or more times with the salary cap and only got a slapped wrist so the only thing the Rugby League will do is tell them off for getting caught.
Now if the line was on the otherside and say we had won Myler scored 4 tries and found to be positive, we would have had the match result overturned and kicked out of the cup as well.
Really though the Yawnian chaps let all results stand in the games this druggie played in so that is what the RL will do no doubt.

Another point I would like to add to my previous post is as follows -
Imagine a team reaching a SL Grand Final with say 2/3 players retiring after the match. What detterent is in place to stop these players taking performance enhancing drugs before the final? If they get caught what good would a 2 year ban do?
I think this incident has highlighed a potentially controversial situation that may arise in the future.
