Why thank you

Even when people are in prison they are allowed to train for a job for when they get out so they can get their life together and so they dont slip back into a life of crime. Letting a rugby player train unpaid for 2 months before his ban runs out so he can get his life back on track when his ban ends is hardly undermining the system.

Exactly. Opposition fans are only treating Hock like the criminal of the century because they know how good he is, and they know how good we will be with him.

If Hock is allowed to return to training early, will we be fined for breaking the "spirit of the ban"?

No, but Castleford fans will be calling for us to lose our license over it.

Have to say I cant understand the logic in banning him from training anyway. He lost his lively hood and has not been able to play the game for 2 years surely that is enough! If he were in athletics he'd have carried on training as normal because its an individual sport. Banning him from training with his team mates is ludicrous - whats the point?

It's part of the punishment and being punished is actually part of how players are dealt with when they get caught doing drugs. It's not all about rehabilitation from the word go. Simple really.



In any case until he had proved he had reformed to the clubs satisfaction I doubt they would want him around the place anyway.

Well this turned out well.....

Don't worry - we're getting Mick Cassidy as part of the deal

He's dominated this board for weeks but I think 1 Hock thread is enough. viewtopic.php?f=28&t=542884&tsmp=1358850667
