Hock to Leigh

[sweaty craiq]

MEN creating a story or is there more to it? Leigh RL very quiet on the subject since it broke in the newspaper

[deluded pom?]

Good to the the RFL's disciplinary committee finally making the punishment fit the crime.

Actually heard about it about 2ish today, as they say there's no smoke without fire, I know there is a differing opinion about his ability on another thread, but for mine he is a very good rugby league player and if he joined Leigh he would make what is arguably the best pack in the division probably unbeatable, and before anyone says it, if he stays on the field long enough!

[EastLondonMike]

No one in their right mind would pay him a salary.. Pay as you play or nothing. He's in the last chance saloon and clubs should remember that when dealing with him.

Great player with a great skill set, but also a complete idiot and in danger of completely wasting his talent, if he hasn't 't already.

Obviously tweeted by the club.

"Av" left. Think he typed that one.

Hock could have been anything he wanted. as big a waste of talent that there ever was.

Rumour that locke might be on his way to Scotish union?

Don't get the Hock hype. Not seen anything positive from him in 4 years just insanity and poor attitude. Good riddance

You have quite obviously not watched any of the highlight programmes in that period, I can agree with your insanity and poor attitude call but it hasn't been 100% of that time, when he puts his "rugby" head on he has very few if any peers in this country, and not that many anywhere else for that matter.

I am a Leigh fan, and I would have him at the LSV, but his contract/terms would be that tight if his "arris " even squeaked he would be out.

I honestly believe that his inclusion to that team would be the X factor that would see us in the SL in 2016.

Leigh seem to be throwing a lot of eggs into this season's basket.

Fortunately, as history has shown us, this kind of thing always works out OK in rugby.

Speculation only ATM , if , and I hope it doesn't happen , Leigh do acquire mr Hock I'm sure it will be on a ' pay for play ' basis

As for how sustainable Leigh's current finances are , with the increase in central funding the numbers probably do stack up

[roughyedspud]

leigh would do well to leave well alone........maybe he should be unions problem now,i mean hock has better hands than sam burgess

[Amber Avenger]

As an outsider, I'd say Leigh are good enough without Hock (specifically his baggage) and would do well to stay well away IMO.

Agree , Bradford are a better fit IMO

[Guest]

I can see why Leigh would want Hock when he has his playing head on as he is an incredible player, problem is, he doesn't have it on often enough. Too much of a gamble unless he is on a pay as you play deal with a clause in his contract about his behaviour.

Great joke, but wouldn't touch him with a barge-pole

[Viking Warrior]

only one coach has been able to control hock and that is denis betts both at wigan and widnes, undeniably hock is an extremely talented player but his head is always somewhere else and he has perpetual brainfarts

As I recall, he still managed to pick himself up a ban for gobbing off at the referee while he was at Widnes and the stats show he was their biggest penalty conceder by some distance that season, so I'm not sure where this idea that Denis Betts was able to control him comes from.

 

Caveat emptor, as Gareth himself would no doubt put it.

Given Bradfords recent comments about Leigh,Hock would fit right in at Leigh.

That's the problem with Hock , not just the ' silly ' stuff , but just the fact you know in your big ' decider ' he'll give away a daft penalty on the 4 th tackle 4 minutes from time that will cost you the game and the consequences of that , shame , but it's what he is , a massive liability

He'd be the perfect replacement for Bailey at Leeds , him and ' knuckleduster ' Delaney would be the perfect 2 nd row

Hock doesn't run and hide after he has started something though.

I'd love Hock at Leeds,give the pack some go forward and he's a talented ball player.
