If in two years time, he's in good shape, and consents to a testing programme and wants to redeem himself to the club, fans that he has let down, and himself, and, there is a space for him at the club, I would have no problem with him returning then.
How did they set precedent with dave allen? I'm pretty sure that he was a widnes player when he got caught!

My bad, I thought that he was still with us...
The club now then must make a tough decision on how to proceed.
“The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.”
“If you can accept losing, you can't win.”
“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”
I cannot believe the criticism Hock is facing from many on here.
He did some coke.
It's not like he murdered anyone.
Bloody hell, the guy is a youngster and made a mistake. Haven't we all done that?
Yes we have, and yes he has... HE KNEW THE RULES... This is not about what you or i think. I have just got a speeding ticket, are you going to feel sorry for me? ...NO, might that be because i don't wear the cherry and white? Take off the cherry tinted spec's... the DW let everybody including himself down. Support him by all means, but away from the club. Help him with his problem, but the club MUST send out a strong message. Drugs wreck the lives of many people, and those around them.

im not going to beat the man down for making a mistake! ok he did some recreational drugs and now will pay the price but everyone deserves a second chance.
Don’t let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart.

Tell me another occupation where you would get a 2 year ban, if he was an accountant would he be banned from doing accounts for 2 years!
This 25yo kid took some coke,probably down to peer presure, repremand him,monitor him (test) for 2 years and if he does it again ban him

First Offence and the man loses his job!
When you think what other players have done (within my team) and only received a small ban (from the club)
The RFL need to change this!
If you compare it to what the appropiately named Cockayne did, then yeah, it is utter madness, but then again, Cocaine is the easy one for the RFL to deal with as it falls under world sport rules, the other is down to the law of the land, which is a totally seperate argument.
