I enjoyed it, shame about the reds, just let them slug it out and batter each other.

Bring back the biff

He's a thug end of story

Is there going to be a points deduction for this brawl?

I seem to remember this happening in a United v Arsenal game at Old Trafford when Winterburn went in late on Brian McClair and McClair started booting him on the ground, they had an all in brawl with Les Sealey storming up from goal to join in. Paul Ince threw Anders Limper into the advertising boards.

Arsenal and United both got points docked for that

What he did against us was disgusting and he got his ban for it, what he did today was just a bit of fighting, why would wigan sack arguably the best forward with ball in hand in Super League so far this season?

Spot on.

Non event but it's Hock so it blows up. He had a toe to toe scrap with somebody which goes on every week in games all over the world.

Mangennis with a cheap shot was the worst offence but he's not Hock so little will get said.

+1

LMS was pushing his head into Hocks head, what was LMS expecting, an invite round for tea and scones after the game ?

Great to see the biff back.

not one decent punch was thrown, can't see what all the fuss is about! now if plenty of weeks worth of bans are thrown arround by the RFL beak this week that will make my season! not because there should be bans, but because it's the pies & stains, and that makes it funny imo.

Not even proper Biff, Nat Wood on Craig Smith. Now that was biff.

Agreed. All of this "it's horrible that" and "we don't need this in our game". As long as no-one gets seriously hurt, a bit of aggro is always good to see.

As for Hock, you can see why Wigan perservere with him despite his limited mental capacity. Very destructive player (in good and bad ways). You just have to hope that his behavious costs them dearly in a big game but in the meantime, it makes sense to play him.

Can you imagine his discussions with Wane?

It's a pity nobody can be on hand to note down their verbal exchanges and publish them, the level of wit and repartee must be positively Wildean.

As a sport RL cannot be seen to condone the actions of Hock, Tuson, Magennis and for that matter McCarthy-Scarsbrook. In that respect I believe the ref was right to dismiss three of them, his only mistake was in letting the fourth (who was quite possibly the instigator of the whole thing) get away with it.

Gareth Hock is an awesome Rugby League player, but he desperately needs to learn to channel his aggression in the right way. Opposition players know that if they push him far enough he is prone to the sort of brain fart we saw yesterday.

Deserves a 10 match ban for just being ugly. What a fantastic player he can be without his thuggery.

Punching is against the rules so Hock deserved a red. 'The Biff' should be about big but legal hits, not cheap shots. As for 'not liking' Hock, I've never met the bloke.

--this-- hes just an eye gouging,ref pushing, annoying, obnoxious ,bullying, ex druggie *moron*,not quite the* role model* you would wish to promote in rl or one too actually defend i think

I reckon his woman must cop one hell of a beating behind closed doors.

"aaaggghhhhhhh.....what have I told you about putting the milk back in the fridge with the label facing the wrong way"

BANG... HEADBUTT.... STAMP
