Seriously losing faith with the game at the moment. If the ref had not been in such a stupid position hock would have scored.
If the ref though the offence so serious surely he would have been sent off.

Are we saying that Hock intentionally ran at the ref on purpose?

Intentionally and on purpose

Is that 2 offences ?

It was interesting to see it again on super league full time. Looked a bit dubious on Hock's part to be honest.

Just seen on super league show doesn't look the best! Could of been avoided and I normally wear the red tinted glasses!

Must be serious to be stating a 4-8 match ban. Didnt the linesman come on the pitch after the incident and have a word with the ref about what had happened. If it was that serious and obvious then a red card would have been issued.

8 match ban, rested and back for the play offs!

It looks terrible but there'd been nothing in the game with the ref so I can't believe it was deliberate.
Suspect he'd switched off after not receiving the ball.

The first time he did it there was nothing in it. He scored a perfectly good try which the ref disallowed. As the ref walked away he merely touched him on the shoulder to get his attention.
He shouldn't have have done it but it was just a hand on the shoulder.

Doesn't look good. Not sure why you'd dip your shoulder and drive through after hitting contact. I'd expect him to miss four games minimum. No doubt our more hysterical fans will claim it's part of an anti-Salford conspiracy.

Hopefully he'll get off with it because we need all hands on deck for the run in.

I don't understand why the referee didn't send him off then and there if it is deliberate. It's not like he missed the incident and rather than relying on one camera angle up in the gantry, he's best placed to judge whether it was potentially deliberate or not considering it happened to him!

Seems odd. Maybe he bottled it from issuing the first red card in rugby league history for a foul on the ref or couldn't be sure it was deliberate at the time?

On Saturday we just laughed when he knocked the referee over. At the time we were sure it was a complete accident.

I think these trumped up charges are obviously part of a concerted effort and conspiracy by the RL authorities to get at Dr Koukash in the hope of driving him out of of the game and out of their faces. Wonder what they'll think of next to irritate him with?

It doesn't look good on SL full time, he seems to swerve into him and follow thru with the shoulder, there looked to be time to pull out. Can see it being a long one with his previous as well.

Sorry I meant he ran intentionally at the ref to knock him over?.

I don't know the rules concerned but does a player (even a senseless thug and Neanderthal like Hock) have to try and avoid a ref when moving. even if it risks him not scoring or missing a crucial tackle? Surely it should be the referees responsibility too read the game sufficiently as to avoid such a collision?
