Seems harsh to me if it is 6. Yes he did it twice, and yes he has lots of previous, but both incidents were just silly rather than really dangerous imo. 3 games would have fair, 4 at the most.

I think "lots of previous" is a bit of an understatement, he has served 25 games of suspension since returning to the game in 2011.
If you don't think kneeing a player's head whilst he is on the ground is dangerous can I suggest you find your biggest friend and see how it feels if you lie down and ask him/her to drop on you head with their knees?

But that's stretching the truth a bit isn't it. He's given him (to quote Stevo) a facial with his knee. It's not WWE stuff. Also by biggest friend is about 10 stone heavier than Hock, so no thanks.

25 games? Jesus. I didn't realise it was as much as that. That must be nearly a quarter of games he's been unavailable due to suspension.

Next you'll be telling me Father Christmas isn't real.

Wigan always had fun and games with him well before he made a SL appearance, rumours heard about him should have made any club think twice and players have been rumoured to have left because / club favoured Hock. He seems to be the spoiled child who think he has a right to whatever he wants and doesn't need to follow the rules.

Unfortunately his on pitch antics are making any of the positive on pitch skills become a rarer event. I don't see many bidders for him at the end of this contract. At his best at Wigan he was a lose cannon with skill and potential (while over looking his idiocy), now he's a liability to any team.

Hock is undoubtedly a liability and he does have previous.
He's guilty as charged.
A 6 game ban is ridiculous.
When I look at some of the potentially career ending challenges that occur and the soft suspensions given I begin to wonder
What he did is indefensible but 6 matches is daft. He's an easy target

It's 3 matches for each offence though. If he had only done it once, he would only have been banned for 3 games. As it was, he did it twice and has been banned for each offence.
However, I agree that some other incidents (ie Tomkins' blatant dangerous tackle on Crabtree) seem to be under-punished.

I was going to say the same, it's not a 6 game ban. It's a 3 game ban twice. If that does not say it all. There are more dangerous tackles and they get treated as such.

Ferres got 5 matches for 1 spear tackle. He would have got more for 2 in the same game.

Flower got 13 matches for punching an unconscious player on the ground.

You can always debate it but in the end there is only one person foolish enough to do the same illegal challenge twice in a match.

Great.
Hocks average is available for 2 games in every 15, and those 2 we lost .
Hock damaged goods, Locke crocked , Sau knee knobled , Dobson, Paterson injured .

Yep,glass half empty at the moment

Yes we could line up like

Evalds
Bjb
Griffin
Sau
Johnson
Chase
Fages
Taylor
Lee
A walne
Hansen
Hauraki
J walne

Walton
Hood
Moz
Tasi

Still a decent team, with 4 homegrown players in the starting 13. Trust me Gaz Hock is not the way forward liability now lets cut our losses and go all out and bring in a top quality hooker!

There's plenty of people saying the club should cut him loose as he is without doubt a liability on the field, does his repeated infractions on the pith give grounds for the club to terminate his contract?

Time to cut our losses, misses considerable chunks of the season and wanted to leave the club all together before the new season.

How many more times is this balloon going to get away with it? Don't even get me started on his Twitter antics.

That could be another 5-8 game ban right there. So he will miss at the very least 11 games how many more chances can this guy have. Harris needs to stamp his authority and Koukash needs to stop being pally pally with certain players.
