Maybe they apologised to the team and Hock refused?

Marwan's comments on twitter a few moments ago... I once went out with lads for few drinks, overslept in the morning, missed work, got fined but not sacked from my job. Marwan koukash

The Doc is basically saying on twitter that he got ed up and missed training, the others must of all trained. IMO a fine was more suitable but kicking him out will not help England's chances, apparently the players arnt happy over hock's exclusion and are all said to be angry about it.

Marwan getting aload of crap from everyone on twitter about Hock. Marwan advised he has spoken to him and the RFL and everything will be annouced tommorrow. But its good to see the good dr sticking up for his players

It is a bit daft though to get lashed up and miss training the next day.

Guess with Hock these are the chances you take when he's your player.

Give it a rest, nobody knows anything about the situation so until you do so I would suggest keeping quiet before you make yourself look like a t*t. Anyway, it's for the best all round. We don't risk an injury to Hock and Ferres has been in better form over the course of season and is more deserving of a spot.

The biggest question out of all of this is Steve McNamara's ability to coach at the highest level.

Personally I can't wait to see Gareth Hock in a Salford shirt regardless.

What was his job ....I guess it wasnt playing for England against possibly the Greatest set of Australians ever assembled in what appears to be a very high profile and well marketed World Cup?

Why people think the rules of normal everyday life apply in sport I'll never know.... I wouldnt have expected anyone to use the "I swung a big punch at a rival businessman giving him a massive black eye and I got sacked and sued....and Ben Westwood only got one match ban" line......its not the same .....never ever

and Hock quite simply has no brain...he cant have...

Goodluck with Hock and he will be a target all season to wind up.

so you read the twitter rumor as well? 1 name out of 4 isn't to bad on Gledhill behalf.

seriously believe that? i bet the majority at the squad are ed off with the players who broke the team discipline rules.

he seriously broke the team discipline rules, Martin gleeson lost his lively hood over it not just a little bonus for playing for england. If anything Marwan should of kept his mouth shut or at least said the robotic thing of "i will have a chat to him when he gets back".

any rugby player can loose his cool and until all the facts come out you should not be speculating what he as done. Or even judge the player also if there were other players involved then you have to ask question of managment why only one kicked out. Also you cant say if thats the case that some other player did not start it. so people should not jump till the facts come out

Think you're right.

A lot of people are very quick to condemn without being in possession of any facts whatsoever.

Christ I hope some on here never get called up for jury service.

It's getting like a witch's trial set them on fire and if they burn they are innocent and if they don't burn kill them because they are guilty.

Just wait until you hear all the facts before judging.

Hocks previous form for being a brainless idiot goes before him here. He may not be on his own in any wrong doing but because of his reputation he needs to be squeeky clean and he can't manage it.

The lad has wasted his career which given his talent, is a crying shame. He should have been a massive weapon for England in this tournament but he's again hit the self destruct button.

I like Salford, if class them as my second team due to family connections and as good as it is to see money being spent, I really worry about the make up of that squad next year. To have so many guys who've had discipline issues in the past like Hock, Smith, Chase and Gleeson is going to end one way for me. Its a tough balancing act though as without those issues, the chances are they wouldn't be at Salford in the first place.

Fingers crossed things work out.
