For something that appears quite inconclusive on the video, I think a 7 game ban is rather draconian.

I too think the ban a tad excessive, however, let's forget the sorry affair and look forward to HKR.

Oh, those reds fans who are getting irate and claiming conspiracies, please stop, it's making the rest of us look stupid!!!

Yes it's true the RFL and Doc are waving handbags, but that's all it is...

I think obviously the 7 match ban is a result of previous infringements, Hock has form for this as we all know and I'm pretty certain the RL do say that repeated similar offences carry greater punitive measures.

I think the Docs decision too not challenge might be a master stroke and help too instil the them and us mentality for quite possibly the most important 7 games in the clubs recent history. The squad can only benefit from a new focal point and giving Hock the chance too come back and make a statement (rather than hopefully giving a statement) in play off rugby would do just that.

I think some of you need a reality check. Watching the video of the incident, coupled with this not being his first offence of this nature, means that surely there can be no complaints?

The RFL hate Salford. That's why they pushed Koukash in our direction in the first place.

I noticed on the video that the Ref is running towards Hock

Correct!

The ref should be banned for at least 10 games for trying to attack Hock...

I saw the ref running towards Hock on a grassy knoll....

And he did not have sexual relations with that touch judge. Or something.

That's why the away kit isn't black this season.

They don't have to deregister him he's English, whereas Mason was an aussie and took up a place on the quota.

Anyone defending him, watch it with open eyes, he clearly unnecessarily accelerates after the ball is out of his reach.

Yawn.....now bore off and leave us to write a film script to match JFK

Great response. He clearly changes pace after the ball has gone. I've nothing against Salford, not a hater of hock (just think he's a waste of talent) and I'm not a bias 1 club supporter, just stating what clearly happens in the replay.

You're entitled to your own opinion as everyone else is.. put it on the VT and allow us Salford fans to have a fun fun time on our own forum, whilst we work on the scripts for this seasons drama finale..

6 week holidays from next week, you'll get all the fun you want then.
