I'd keep away, more trouble than it's worth. He may be a good player, but it doesn't make up for him being a thug.

hock is one of the better players in the world, and is better than most of our back rowers, however i would not want him any where my club.

i also believe whoever he players for he will miss at least 6 games suspended

Good player but no thanks

I would hand my season ticket to Eamon personally if we even put an offer in for him. Hock is a horrible person, his ability doesn't have much to do with it.

Absolutely take him on.

Id fill his contracts with terms and conditions but on his day, he is absolutely destructive. See how many people would give a monkeys if he notched the winner against Wigan at Old Trafford.

Anyway, can someone PM with what these rumours are anyway?

I’ve heard from my mums brothers bests mates girlfriends aunties cat that allegedly he has been caught doing something he was banned for not too long ago... if you get what I mean...

That would surely take him out of action from the sport, not just Wigan?

That would depend on what he had been doing with it. If what I heard is correct, it involves the same thing but is something different he has been doing with it and is now in trouble with a different authority - if you can figure that out? From quite a good source I heard it so could be true

I wouldnt want him in our squad, we have just signed the most devastating second rower in SL for hitting a line, strong running and offloads in Willie Manu, and have still got Soliola, Wilkin, Flanagan, Clough, Boof, TP that can play in back row if necessary. Dont need him, dont want him, and if Wigan are prepared to get rid after they stood by him through his ban must be something VERY wrong

Got a message last night to say he was having shoulder surgery and all is good at Wigan

apparently this is a smoke screen. He was seen in the gym a few days back. Also reports say he was in a sling weeks back. I think its a bit of BS coming out from Wigan Athletics FC stadium. Also the thing about him missing the first 6 weeks of the season was released way back when... It was even in the papers.
