Chucked out the England team for serious breach of discipline according to Twitter rumours.Shame if true as a quality player but obviously brain dead.

A bell-end, with first class honours.
How many second (third, fourth etc) chances does this pr1ck deserve?
RL's equivalent of Terry Duckworth.

May God have mercy on the souls of this whopper's club, next season

Yeah + to think quite a few of us Wire supporters wanted him sign for us,me included I must confess.

I'd rather have Pol Pot in a Wire jersey than that nob

I wonder what has happened?

Going well isn't it? Bloke shouldn't have been in the squad in the first place, people like him are manna from heaven to the opposition and he'd have cost us at some point.

The bloke has ability but the problem is, always has been and always will be the yawning 4" gap of thin air in between his ears. In a previous life he'd have been sacked as village idiot for being too dumb.

One more problem next year and he is finished.

There is no way Tony Smith would have had this idiot in the primrose and blue.

Good luck with him Salford.

As I said on the Chemics board last year, you're welcome to him.

Apparently, Hardacre, Graham and Cackybumbum were all carpeted too, but kept their postions in the squad.

Doubtless to say, the media will be all over this in the morning. A pity really, as we've had lots of positive exposure to non RL fans, recently

Brett Ferres apparently replacing him.

I am surprised Brian Noble has signed him for Salford tbh considering one of Noble's dressing room rules is "100 per cent, no duckheads"

you obviously haven't heard of stories from players under noble then. I believe he get serious close to play offs but he's not so strict mid season.

Good news for Ryan Bailey though - he must be a shoe in for the squad now.

The rumours are that there were three other players involved. If that's the case they should all be treated the same and the players who performed well for the England Knights on Saturday brought in to replace them.

All I can hope from this affair is that somehow McNamara can create a "siege mentality" in the squad and the performance and results benefit from this - afraid I can't see it though.

Reports now suggest that he failed to report at Loughborough when the squad got back together. I wish this time the truth was reported and exactly what Hock has done is released so everybody can see what an idiot he is. We had enough of the "Saint Gareth" stories from his two year ban period which if the press coming from his club was to be believed he apparently spent helping old ladies cross the road and bob-a-jobbing with the local boy scouts.

The guy's an idiot and the last thing he deserves is somebody like Koucash once again making excuses for unacceptable behaviour.


This time last week things were actually for once looking positive for the game of rugby league. Unfortunately firstly in the performance against Italy and now this sorry incident (which does seem to involve Hardaker, Graham and Hock's old partner in crime from his Wigan days, McIlorum) the players themselves have let the supporters and administrators down big time.

Unless they are from Wigan.
