| I would rather have a Salford team that included Gareth Hock in it than didn't. I assume this will be a boost to the rest of the squad too, as it is well known the majority were gutted he wanted to leave. Seems he was a big personality in the dressing room to - I just hope differences have been put to one side by both sides (club and Hock).

| For me Gareth is the best strike second rower in world rugby. I also thought he'd knuckled down and was working hard to keep his nose clean at Salford. Then came the infamous referee incident which I didn't think was as bad as most commentators made out. At the time no-one noticed and this includes the referee and all the Hull fans right in front of the incident.
Due to his previous he got 8 matches which I feel made him disillusioned.
I personally think it's great that he's decided to stop and it seems like a new signing. Lets hope he can continue playing for us like he did at the start of the season for the next three years.

Diary forward !
I'm delighted he's staying and not particularly surprised.
We're better off with him in the team .

| I am delighted he's staying with us. On his day he is a world class forward who runs with power and purpose. He can only help us rise up the table and gives us many more attacking options. I know that we need to see a more mature figure sometimes, but I think there are many more advantages with him in the side than disadvantages.
It also seems the good doctor has had a change of heart too!
More reasons to look forward to next season!

| Really chuffed he's staying, I would always pick him in any super league 13. You could just imagine him playing for someone else next season and ripping us apart. He was having a great season for us last year and performing consistently until that ref blindsided him. Agree with Hillbilly Red that its good to see the Doc involved in negotiating a satisfactory outcome. Im sure this will be recognised by everyone at the club and should result in a positive effect for all.

| I think he'll play as loose forward next season as this is something were crying out for i reckon him and Jordan Walne will interchange! Harris has already stated he wants to make him into a loose.

| Great decission , he is a quality player , something we have not had for years ,the challenge is to harness that and i think great strides have been made in that in getting him to change his mind . We can all speculate whether there were any offers or not we will never know . People once again have short memories , we now have quality players lets appreciate that we cant pick and choose.

| Quote: builditandtheycome "Anyone think front row is where he'll play next season?'"
He had a spell at prop last season during the prop crisis. In fact, I think he was playing prop when that referee blatantly and deliberately took him out with a late hit. Tying him in to the middle of the field made him less effective. He's much better in the second row where he's got a bit more room. Iestyn wants to move him to loose forward, which could be a smart move because he's got good hands, although I think I'd still prefer to see him out wide.
Can't say I'm unhappy that he's staying.

Check my sig out Mart which one are you ?
Great player and I'm delighted he's staying but I think it will take silverware before he becomes any sort of a fans favorite.

Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try

| I'm happy. We need exciting players at the club where we're at, and Hock is good to watch.
