Salford Red Devils RLFC.

| Unfortunately Gareth Hock is a liability. Even Salford couldn’t afford to continue carrying him, despite the fact our owner has made no secret of the amount of money he is willing to spend to improve the club. With the salary cap as tight as it is, you just can’t have a player earning £100k+ a year spending half the season on the sidelines through his own stupidity.
Reading the comments from other clubs fans (particularly those in Leigh) it reminds me very much of what we were saying when he signed for Salford. Despite the comments from Wigan and Widnes fans we thought Hock would mature and play his best RL with us. How naïve.
He’s the weak link to any team he plays for due to his inability to remain focused and composed for 80 minutes during a game. If he does end up in the Championship, he will make opposition coaches team talks much easier – he’s a ticking time bomb. Get into him from the off and just sit back and wait for the imminent brain fart.

Quote: RedUnderTheBed "...in my opinion, London are one of a few teams Hock would improve.'" On a good day, I would agree. The trouble is he seems to have less and less good days as he gets older.

During those 9 seasons he did not appear as often as his teammates when they were lifting silverware at Wembley and Old Trafford.They seemed to manage without him.

Sau didn't play at the Hive last year,for Salford.Of the tries scored against London,by Salford,how many,in any way,involved Hock?

I can go back and edit the reference to Sau if you like, but as the thread is called "Hock" I thought it was obvious enough who we were discussing.
If being involved in tries is the only thing by which we measure players then clearly most props in the competition don't do anything, though I'd like to see a team play without them.
The point I was making was that Hock absolutely tore into us up the middle last year, but also got himself binned for being a thug. Which is the general thrust of the thread to be honest.

| If he's been de-registered by Salford does his 6 match ban still apply, or will it only comeinto force when he signs for another club and is re-registered?
As has been said maybe some club will sign him with a 6 week exclusion clause.
Interesting to see who, if anyone, will take a risk with him.

| This could be interesting. I hope it works out, but if it doesn't then I hope we have cast-iron get out clauses.

| COULD be a great signing for Leigh if that is his move.
We all know how excellent he can be on his day.He should tear up the Championship

| Quote: CrusaderPete "If you bothered coming to a game GF, you'd know what our team lacks is balls!!!!'"
Our team lack considerably more than balls. They lack a "future" and/or a belief in a future because yet again the owner had side stepped conventional wisdom and employed people on all the key roles at the club who haven't a clue what they are doing.
Signing Hock would be another mistake, which it looks like we have avoided.

Yes, but one signing can't do everything, I say we get some Nads in the team, then work the rest out. Mind you it's a moot point, because it would appear Hock's mentality is someone else's problem now.

| For gods sake Leigh, leave well alone. Don't be the foolish club who thinks they can change him. The bloke is an utter thug and a disgrace to the game. Why cheapen yourselves?
