Quote: Northampton_Saint "What's the point in getting big fees for selling all your best players when there's noone available of vaguely the same quality you can sign to replace them? At least we have our own shiny new stadium generating us lots of nice income meaning we don't have to sell our best players to make ends meet
Wigan arent selling their best players to make ends meet. Theyre selling them as they dont really have a choice

Quote: bewareshadows "For anyone to buy Hock, they are still going to have to buy his contract.'"


I doubt that. It seems Wigan want shut of Hock from the reports we've heard so far. If that's true, it's unlikely they would hold out for the entire fee they were due, unless the only viable club was a rival, like Saints or Warrington.

Goulding said Hock had signed a 4 year deal with the Eels.
Right club wrong details re a contract.
I can't see Lenagan allowing Hock to go anywhere without a substantial fee.
Joel T went for £240k and IL bought three players with that whilst having some change left over. His brother may well leave sometime and IL will want a fortune for him.
Allowing Hock to go without a large fee would give the wrong impression to clubs who may come after Wigan players under contract.

From the rumours, isn't it Wigan that are engineering the move rather than Hock himself?

Jamie Jones-Buchanan "I'd never forgive myself if a child of mine was born in Lancashire" And neither would any Lancastrian.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1673.jpg



Quote: Noel Cleal "I have said this a few times. OK saints could get a player like Ste Tyrer on a long contract and regret it. But there is nothing stopping them loaning them out if things don't turn out. Letting Players like Graham and Eastmond go on free transfers was criminal, there is no way to sugar coat it.

Back to Hock, I would be pretty miffed if I was Wigan. The club have treated him very well giving him a job while serving a ban, when many clubs would have cut and run. Then they played him for half a season with his fitness at rock bottom. When it comes to pay the club back he looks for the door. A pretty two faced thing to do in my opinion, transfer fee or no transfer fee.'"


It's fairly certain that Hock wasn't the instigator of this proposed move so disloyalty doesn't come into it, unless of course, he put the club and coach in a position were they had to act.
Anyhow, currently, he's staying at Wigan for the 2013 season and maybe some broken fences can be fixed but going on past evidence, he'll blow a fuse again at some stage. Hocky's like that nursery rhyme, when he's good, he's very very good but when he's bad he's horrid.
