My opinion, probably yes if you could tie him down on some kind of pay as you play deal.

Think Leeds are missing a player like this at present, still a top player even though he is suspended a lot of the time.

He could be his last chance for whoever takes a punt on him next if he decides to play on.

An overrated penalty machine?

NEVER!!!! I LOVE THE TEAM AND RUGBY TO EVER TAKE A CHANCE WITH THAT IDIOT

BEST ADVERT RUGBY UNION HAS

Its no longer taking a chance though.

He's proved time and time again he can't control himself. Any SuperLeague team would have to be desperate to offer him a deal.

Leigh is his destination, according to rumours I've been made aware of.

Another Hock thread? Really?

Hock off.

Gareth Hock? I'd rather sign Gareth Gates ffs!

Back row we've got plenty of good options and good starters too in Ablett, Ward and Delaney.

As for front row we do need to make a signing or two but I'd rather we spent our money, time and energy recruiting somebody that we won't end up sacking 3 months later.

People say what message does it send out to the youngsters if we keep extending the careers of the old guys.....even if you don't agree that we should you can still sort of understand the 'make it here and you can have a long career here' thinking, even if some youngsters have to wait longer.

What message is it if we then turn around and throw a career-waster whose messed up every chance he's had in ahead of them. On his day he's a good talent, but he ain't that bloody good to go mess around with the ethos and mindset of the club.

Think he'll end up at a middle 8 club, someone desperate. Desperate to either avoid relegation or desperate to gain promotion.

I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole and imo the sport would be better off without him.
Also when was the last time he had 3 good quality games in a row?
For me he has been over-rated for a long time.

Nope. His attitude negates his ability and puts him at Championship level. Even then he'll have to smarten up or he'll fall even further down the leagues.

The guy needs to take a step back and have a real good look in the mirror. It's a short career and he's probably seeing the game for what it is now for him. Ability hasn't been the problem, consistency and obvious mental problems have. He really needs all the help he can get IMO. A terrible waste.

Gareth Hock?!

No ta, honest to god, G1 would be a better signing for us

I think there is stuff wrong with the lad, and he probably needs more or better professional help. Probably the most naturally gifted English forward in the competition, but never able to make the most of that ability. Which is a real shame.

At this point, no, I wouldn't take a punt on him. I hope he can get himself sorted out.

No.

he should pick up MMA or something.

Don't give a t0$$ about his disciplinary record, he's still a virgin compared to someone like Adrian Morely, but the guy simply isn't fit enough and never has been to play consistently or cover his defensive responsibilities when on the pitch for more than 20 minutes.

No thanks.
