"Gareth Hock has asked to leave the club and we have agreed to his request provided it is at the right terms"

What on earth is going on?

This is bad news unless a new tougher regime has pushed him out, if so good for the squad as he would've been a bad influence on the younger players.
Sorry to see him leave, truly world class when his head is right..

On his day the best but he must of only played 10-12 games max! Free up some cap for a class loose forward!

Must be some decent wedge for Harris to spend there if he was originally lured away from the NRL. Just the small matter of finding an available player. Harris was quoted as saying he was lining up Hock for loose forward for next year so any guesses (bearing in mind we already seem to need to shift two off our non-fed quota so a Brit would be more feasible)?

Very bad news.
Despite his obvious failings,it's a really poor do that he's leaving after a year

Worrying in general at the forwards we have for next season, even before this.

Think we're in for another year of disappointment if we don't somehow improve on what we have.

Hopefully spend the extra money wisely.

Couldn't agree more especially when you hear stuff like couldn't get a game at Dewsbury, whilst the likes of Wire are bringing in players like Daryl Clark and Ashton Sims.

I'm flabbergasted by this, we have no quota spot and there certainly isn't another British player who is going to be an improvement.

Hock has the same agent as another of our first team.
They are allegedly trying to unsettle him as well.
Is this the problem? Any ideas?

Who's that then?

I just hope this isn't the start of a mass exodus! Can us salford fans just have a quiet few months when the season finishes please!!!!

The only English player I could see matching Hock would be Whitehead and that never got off the ground last time.

I'm more than a little worried by this.

So who is Hock's agent & who else is on his books?

Has this been coming for a while or is it a reaction to recent pronouncements from Dr K?

Isn't the first board meeting tonight? Now that should make for some very interesting questions from the fans.

The agents are based in Lymm,and appear to be a serious set up.none of the usual names,plenty of legal people. Look them up.
