No, really, which SL club did he want to sign for?
I know he wanted to go to OZ but not another SL club.

| Two sides to every story.
Wigan have had their say in less than pleasant terms, be interested to see what Gareth Hock has to say in response.

Too right! From what I hear they even expected him to train and play for them!

If Wigan were concerned that he was looking to sign for one of their rivals.
Then that could only be Saints, Wire or Leeds.
My guess Wire.

I'd be surprised if Tony Smith was interested in disrupting what is already a pretty fine team. And wasn't Hock found guilty of gouging a wire player a year or two back?

Can't see that having any effect to be honest.
It's well documented these constant 'issues' that have plagued his career balanced against a fine rugby league second rower on his day.
Incidents occur, people get over it. A bigger picture is looked at. Hock would strengthen most teams.....just don't expect him to be available for 35 games a year!

Perhaps you're right re the gouging. Nonetheless, I still have doubts whether Warrington would be strengthened by signing Hock, in the same way that I'd have reservations were we to sign him.

| More disturbingly, it transpires that he and Kevin Brown are brothers-in-law. Meaning that any offspring will share DNA (and presumably looks) with both. One for the family album.

| There's two sides to every story as Andy Gilder has already alluded to.
Yes Wigan looked after Gareth Hock when he hit rock bottom in his career but it's not like he could really go anywhere else. Having grown up in the town, Wigan is all that Gareth knows so what he needed to get through those hard times with the help of family and friends. Well they got him through the hard times and he's since repaid them by playing some good rugby. However by the looks of things Wigan have got greedy as a club and it's now either their way or the highway.
This would never happen at Leeds Rhinos where Greg Eastwood was free to come and go when he wanted without any fuss. Chev Walker also had a hard time which Leeds Rhinos helped him through. Did Chev get greedy and go to Rugby Union?
There's more to this than what meets the eye!
